Pharmacy Automation, Pharmacy Robotics IV Medication Preparation Automation • Automated IV Compounding Systems

CytoCare is a new technology for sterile compounding. It combines a robotic arm, laser-driven syringe filler, sophisticated workflow software and a sterile cabinet. It can handle chemotherapy, pain therapy, and antibiotics admixtures.

Most pharmacists are intrigued with these benefits from CytoCare:

Sterile robotic environment minimizes human intervention and the risks of contamination.
Robotic preparations enhance dosing accuracy and consistency - protecting against both under-dosing and excess-dosing in manual preparations.
Automated documentation strengthens the reliability of the electronic medical record, a valuable component in your USP 797 compliance plan.
Efficient workflow software allows you to migrate at your own pace from manual to robotic compounding.
CytoCare can use your choice of final containers and sizes, including IV bags, bottles, and syringes.
Generate significant, immediate savings from the efficient use of partial drug vials with automated time/date stamps and drug aging alerts based on your custom protocols

In the life-critical field of intra-venous medication preparation, especially chemotherapy, health care providers are experiencing growing pressures to improve patient safety, decrease life- threatening medication errors and contamination risks, and to work more efficiently, increase throughput, and contain costs.
