Our unique sensor technologies impact the health care industry by increasing efficiency, optimizing workflow, providing peace of mind to healthcare providers and boosting patient confidence.

A breakthrough in drug verification

The easy-to-implement PASS Rx system offers an extra measure of assurance, helping pharmacists and technicians to provide patients with the highest quality of care by verifying the contents of dispensed medications through the vial within seconds.

Centice is the first company to develop a unique solution that redefines how manual, subjective drug verification is done today.

With an overwhelming increase in script growth, the stress and strain on pharmacists, technicians and their resources are at an all-time high. At the root are complex issues that require the implementation of new technologies which will allow fulfillment processes to be refined and improved to approach a zero-error state.

Who Benefits?

The PASS Rx system enables pharmacists to focus on the reasons they became pharmacists in the first place: to offer over-the-counter assistance and to improve face time with their patients. Instead of spending excessive time manually verifying the contents of each prescription vial, pharmacists will be able to dedicate more time toward helping their customer and patient achieve better health.

About Centice

In 2004, Centice was founded to commercialize patented and patent-pending computational sensor technology originally developed at Duke University.

Although our technology has multiple applications, Centice has focused on the development of the PASS Rx system – a pharmaceutical verification product. The PASS Rx system improves the verification process for dispensed medications, thereby increasing patient safety, reducing human error and streamlining the pharmaceutical dispensing process.

Introducing ValiMed™ Medication Validation System and Narcotics Return Control from CDEX

We are proud to introduce the ValiMed™ System that uses Enhanced Photoemission Spectroscopy to provide an efficient, real time and cost-effective means to validate high risk medications before leaving the pharmacy and to provide assurance of what comes back.

The portable, stand alone, countertop Medication and Narcotic validation device gives proven, accurate and immediate results when validating the accuracy of the drug, dosage and diluent of a .15 ml sample of the selected medication. (The University of Michigan study published in the January 1, 2008 Issue of the American Journal of Health System Pharmacists documents ValiMed’s ability to detect and prevent medication errors with 100% accuracy.)

ValiMed’s noninvasive technology can be easily implemented in to your work flow process to address multiple issues:

Patient Safety

Patient safety is at the forefront of everyone’s agenda. Bar coding and double checks can help catch errors but, until now, there has been no cost effective, time-sensitive means to QUALITATIVELY check the liquid medication prior to leaving the pharmacy.

The ValiMed Patient Safety Solution provides validation of IV admixtures (including high alert medications) at the time of compounding in the pharmacy. This reduces undetected errors in medication selection, the manufacturing of admixtures, inadvertent substitution, purposeful counterfeiting or the mislabeling of the medication, container or package.

ValiMed uses a technology referred to as Enhanced Photoemission Spectroscopy to validate medications, equally innovative software to define and automate the patient safety process, and a library of almost 200 medication signatures for a range of relevant medications. Heparin, Insulin and Morphine, (known to be in the top 28% high alert medications), are well represented in the current ValiMed medication signature library. As your needs expand, so too can this library!

The ValiMed system provides real time medication validation to prevent sometimes lethal errors as well as documentation of your compounding process. Daily activity reports can be easily defined and generated by drug, by user and by source.

Narcotics Return Solutions

ASHP’s Guidelines on Surgery and Anesthesiology Pharmaceutical Services, recommends “Qualitative testing of returned controlled substances.” Most institutions rely on QUANTITATIVE accounting in order to identify diversion/dilution problems, but how do you know what’s really in the returned syringe?

ValiMed provides rapid, QUALITATIVE analysis of returned narcotics, (including Fentanyl), prior to disposal.

The ValiMed Narcotics Return Solution provides fast, easy, accurate and discreet validation of controlled substances in any pharmacy location. The solution is designed to validate returned controlled substance waste from both the OR satellite and the patient care areas.

You can easily generate and print reports to focus on any number of user, drug and source defined fields allowing you to document and track your disposal procedures.

ValiMed can help identify problem areas before they become crises while meeting regulatory guidelines for the accounting of controlled substances.

Training Solutions

ValiMed can assist you in training, monitoring and optimizing your pharmacy staff and their performance to insure that the RIGHT drug, in the RIGHT dose is administered to your patients.
