1. A medical resource storage and management apparatus comprising:

  • a rack in which a series of depressions for insertion of partition members are formed so that a large number of medical resources are retrievably placed in respective partitions;

    partition members which are removably inserted into the depressions;

    medical resource detecting members which are arranged on the rack so as to alternate with the depressions in a direction in which the depressions are arranged, and each of which detects whether or not a medical resource is placed;

    retrieval guidance members for visual guidance which are arranged on the rack so as to alternate with the depressions in a direction in which the depressions are arranged; and

    a control unit which manages the storage status of the medical resources, based on the detection by the medical resource detecting members and which operates one of the retrieval guidance members in response to an input designating retrieval, wherein the control unit allows providing an input for configuration to designate whether or not the partition member is inserted into the depression, and the control unit collectively processes a block of medical resource detecting members and retrieval guidance members identified as being located on both sides of the depression from which the partition member is removed, based on the input for configuration.
