A system for providing correct delivery of pharmaceuticals or the like to a patient location has a mounting body, a matching plate, a storage box and elements for associating a particular matching plate, affixed to a surface of the mounting body, with a particular storage box. The mounting body should be adapted to be fixed in place at the patient location, thereby fixing in place a storage body engaged in it. The storage box has a unitarily-formed storage body, with an open face hingedly fitted with a door for closing the open face. Proper association of the matching plate with the particular occurs when the associating elements of the storage box and the matching plate register with each other, allowing an element of the mounting body to engage the storage box. Disengagement of the element can be effected only through access to the interior of the storage body.

The system of claim 1, wherein: the registration aligning means comprises at least one flange and a corresponding channel for receiving the flange, the flange disposed on the storage box and the channel disposed on the mounting body. 3. The system of claim 2, further comprising: means for selectively engaging the storage box in the mounting body when the associating means are in registration, such that access to the interior of the storage box is necessary for disengaging the storage box from the mounting body. 4. The system of claim 3, wherein: the means for selectively engaging comprises a spring clip mounted on the mounting body and an aperture for receiving the spring clip on the storage box. 5. The system of claim 2, further comprising: a plate, affixed to a face of the storage box and extending beyond the edges thereof to define the at least one flange. 6. The system of claim 1, wherein: the storage box is molded from a thermoplastic. 7. The system of claim 6, wherein: the thermoplastic is selected to be sterilizable by gamma radiation and resistant to dilute acids, bases and soaps for cleaning purposes. 8. The system of claim 7, wherein: the thermoplastic is glycol-modified polyethylene-terephthalate. 9. The system of claim 1, wherein: at least one face of the storage body has an aperture therein. 10. The system of claim 1, further comprising: means for securing access to an interior of the storage box, disposed on the door and the storage body. 11. The system of claim 1, wherein: the set of associating means elements associated with the mounting body are formed on a matching plate that is affixed to a surface of the mounting body. 12. The system of claim 11, wherein: the set of associating means elements associated with the storage box is formed on a plate affixed to a face of the storage body. 13. The system of claim 11, wherein: the set of associating means elements associated with the storage box is formed on a face of the storage body. 14. The system of claim 1, wherein: the set of associating means elements associated with the mounting body is formed on a surface of the mounting body. 15. The system of claim 14, wherein: the set of associating means elements associated with the storage box are formed on a face of the storage body. 16. The system of claim 1, further comprising: means for selectively engaging the storage box in the mounting body when the associating means are in registration, such that access to the interior of the storage box is necessary for disengaging the storage box from the mounting body. 17. The system of claim 16, wherein: the means for selectively engaging comprises a spring clip mounted on the mounting body and an aperture for receiving the spring clip on the storage box. 18. The system of claim 14, wherein: the set of associating means elements associated with the storage box are formed on a plate affixed to a face of the storage body. 19. A system for assuring correct delivery of pharmaceuticals to a patient location, comprising: a mounting body adapted to be fixed in place at the patient location;a storage box comprising a unitarily-formed storage body with an open face hingedly fitted with a door for closing the open face;means for aligning the storage box into registration with the mounting body, a first part of the registration aligning means on the mounting body and a second part of the registration aligning means on the storage box; andmeans for associating the mounting body uniquely with the storage box, the associating means comprising at least one set of aperture and protrusion elements, one of the elements of the at least one set associated with the mounting body and the other element of the at least one set associated with the storage box face, the aperture and protrusion elements of the at least one set registering upon engaging the respective registration aligning means.
