Zusammenfassung:	In one aspect, a combinatorial drug delivery device is provided herein including: a plurality of serially connectable modules, each of the modules including at least one drug component; and, a master controller having a computing processing unit. Each of the modules includes: a non-transitory memory having stored therein an address and an alphanumeric code representative of the at least one drug component contained in the corresponding drug module; a secondary controller operatively linked to the memory of the corresponding module; and, at least one communication bus connectable in series with the communication buses of the modules serially connected with the corresponding module. The master controller is configured to serially interrogate the secondary controllers over the serially-connected communication buses, using the addresses, to request the codes of the corresponding modules. Advantageously, the subject invention provides for a system to confirm the accuracy of drugs provided with the device and the correct sequencing thereof. Selon un aspect, l'invention concerne un dispositif de distribution combinatoire de médicaments comprenant : une pluralité de modules pouvant être reliés en série, chacun des modules comprenant au moins un composant médicamenteux ; et un dispositif de commande maître comportant une unité de traitement informatique. Chacun des modules comprend : une mémoire non transitoire dans laquelle sont stockés une adresse et un code alphanumérique correspondant audit ou auxdits composants médicamenteux contenus dans le module de médicament correspondant ; un dispositif de commande secondaire fonctionnellement connecté à la mémoire du module correspondant ; et au moins un bus de communication pouvant être connecté en série aux bus de communication des modules reliés en série au module correspondant. Le dispositif de commande maître est conçu pour interroger successivement, à l'aide des adresses, les dispositifs de commande secondaires par l'intermédiaire des bus de communication connectés en série, pour demander les codes des modules correspondants. De manière avantageuse, la présente invention concerne un système destiné à confirmer la bonne identification des médicaments distribués par le dispositif et le bon séquencement de ces derniers.
