An apparatus for distributing medicines, vitamins and/or samples, including an organizer and dispensing units for medicines, vitamins and/or samples. The organizer includes seats in which to place the dispensing units. The apparatus includes an identification device connected to a data processing device and containing dispensing data on medicines, vitamins and/or samples, including detecting members controlled to a detecting state by detecting signals generated on the basis of dispensing data in the data processing device. The identification device is configured to be brought in connection with the organizer so that at least some of the detecting members are aligned with at least some of the seats of the organizer, wherein at least those dispensing units, which are aligned with at least one detecting member, can be identified by means of detecting signals generated on the basis of dispensing data in the data processing device.

1. An apparatus for dispensing medicines, vitamins and/or samples, the apparatus comprising: an organizer,dispensing units for the medicines, vitamins and/or samples to be placed on the organizer, the organizer comprising seats in which the dispensing units can be placed, andan identification device without a data processing device and that enables a data processing device outside of the apparatus to control the apparatus through the identification device when the identification device is connected with the data processing device such that the data processing device can provide dispensing data on the medicines, vitamins and/or samples, wherein: the identification device comprises detecting members to be controlled to a detecting state by means of detecting signals to be generated on the basis of dispensing data in the data processing device,the identification device is separable from the organizer and is configured to be brought in connection with the organizer in such a way that at least some of the detecting members are aligned with at least some of the seats of the organizer,at least those dispensing units, which are aligned with at least one detecting member, can be identified by means of detecting signals generated on the basis of dispensing data in the data processing device, andthe organizer comprises an organizer tag and the identification device comprises a reader device connected to the data processing device outside of the apparatus and configured to identify the organizer connected to the identification device on the basis of the organizer tag, when the organizer is placed in connection with the identification device and the identification device is connected to the data processing device. 2. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the detecting members are, in the detecting state, light emitting detecting members which are arranged to be set in the detecting state when they receive a detecting signal. 3. The apparatus according to claim 2, wherein each seat is provided with a maximum of one detecting member. 4. The apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the detecting members are configured to detect whether the seat is occupied by a separate dispensing unit or whether the seat is empty. 5. The apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the detecting members are light emitting diodes and that the detecting signal is an electric current that lights the light emitting diode. 6. The apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the seats in the organizer are openings formed in the organizer, and that the dispensing units are configured to be supported to the seats in such a way that they come above the detecting members of the identification device. 7. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the identification device is a plate-like or at least partly plate-like piece, from whose upper surface upwards protrude detecting members spaced from each other, and that the upper part of the identification device comprises an adapter part, in which the organizer can be fitted in such a way that the detecting members are aligned with the seats placed underneath them. 8. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the apparatus is equipped with a lid that can be locked.
