DRX-500sx

The DRX-500sx Pill Counting System is the newest addition to TORBAL’s line of pill counters and prescription scales. The system is loaded with over 30 features and functions which accelerate pill counting speed, performance, and productivity. The DRX-500sx pill counting system incorporates an all solid state embedded server which can connect up to 30 pill counting DRX-500sx workstations.

Features:

• Counts 100 Tablets in Less Than 20 Seconds
• Fast 3 Step Counting with Direct Vial Filling
• No Cross-Contamination, No Cleaning, No Disassembly
• Wireless & Network Ready
• Interactive Administrative Panel
• Automatic E-mail Reporting
• Counting Transaction & Activity Monitoring
• Transaction Reports & Data Exporting
• E-mail Alerts for Failed Rx Verifications
• Preloaded NDC Directory with Full Drug Info
• Advance Pill Counting Accuracy (APA)
• Automatic NDC Updating with APA
• Rx NDC Verification
• Quick User Barcode Login
• Prescription Size Entry
• Onscreen Instructions
• Omni Directional Barcode Scanner
• Automatic Counting Transaction Printing

Counts 100 Tablets in Less Than 20 Seconds
A typical pill counting transaction of 60 pills, performed on a DRX500 scale connected to the TORBAL server is made in three easy steps, and can be performed under 20 seconds. The steps are simple: tare the vial, scan the NDC located on the supply bottle, and fill the count. During each count the scale displays the name of the drug and other important drug information.

Advanced Pill Counting Accuracy
APA is an advanced pill counting algorithm that quickly and efficiently adjusts for pill weight variations providing even greater accuracy when filling prescriptions. The feature is very easy to use and requires little user interaction. This system not only improves counting accuracy, it also speeds up the process significantly and eliminates the need for the pharmacist to count pills manually when updating average piece weights.

Interactive Administration Panel
The software is easily accessed and viewed with the use of a web browser such as Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. Once logged-in, the administrators have access to detailed graphs, charts, and reports, of performed transactions. The admin panel is also used to setup users and configure the server. Each server offers great flexibility and can be configured to fit particular pharmacies needs and requirements.

Automatic Email Reporting and Alerts
The TORBAL server generates and automatically emails daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly reports which include details about performed counting transactions, verifications, most frequently counting drugs, as well as detailed user activity.

When using features such as prescription size or Rx verification, the TORBAL server monitors and records pill counting transactions to make sure that verification was performed successfully and that the count was filled accurately. If a user causes a miscount, by filling too many or not enough pills as required, or if a user fails Rx verification, the server instantly sends out an email alert to all administrators with a notification.

Rx NDC Verification
The NDC verification feature eliminates potential errors in prescription filling. It ensures that a prescription is correctly counted and filled. The feature allows the user to compare two NDC codes and check for a match. The NDC on your Rx label barcode is compared to the stock bottle barcode. If the two scanned NDC codes are the same the scale displays "Match OK" and allows you to proceed with pill counting. If the codes are different, the scale displays a "Failed" message. Pill counting transactions which have failed Rx verification are recorded by the server in a dedicated report. As soon as "Failed" Rx verification occurs the server instantly sends out an email alert notifying the administrators.

Additionally, MPI’s unit-dose packaging solutions are uniquely positioned to assist the long-term care (LTC) and extended care (EC) pharmacy in transitioning to the shorter cycle dispensing model recently mandated by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). This mandate, which was announced on November 22, 2010, will require the dispensing of medication in cycles of seven (7) days or less instead of the thirty (30) day model traditionally used in these care settings and will support nation-wide efforts to reduce medication waste.

MPI’s suite of pharmacy packaging solutions include state-of-the-art, affordable packaging systems to meet the bar coding, unit dose, and packaging needs of every type of pharmacy. MPI offers packaging solutions for oral solids, liquids, overwrapping and labeling systems, which are available either on an individual basis, a multi-product basis, or as a total solution dependent on the specific packaging requirements of each pharmacy. Coupled with MPI’s exclusive Pak-EDGE™ UD Barcode Labeling Software with access to First DataBank™ drug image and database library, MPI’s pharmacy packaging solutions assist pharmacies with Bedside Point of Care (BPOC) and Bar Coded Medication Administration (BCMA) initiatives.

MPI offers three (3) types of packaging solutions for oral solids. The Auto-Print™ II, which packages sixty (60) packages per minute (ppm), and the Auto-Print™ Express 90, which packages ninety (90) packages per minute (ppm), can produce either a 2” standard or 1.5” custom unit dose package, and the Auto-Print™ Punch Cut Machine (PCM), which produces a 2.5” unit dose package, packages thirty (30) packages per minute (ppm) and features a punched hole in the upper half of the package for use in conjunction with centralized, robotic systems. MPI’s oral solid packaging systems can also be customized to accommodate canister technology available with fully automated packaging solutions utilizing canister technology.

MPI’s offers the Fluidose™ Series 5 packaging solution for oral liquids providing the capability to package bulk liquid medication to unit dose. This high quality, affordable bar coding packaging system for oral liquids allows a pharmacy to increase their packaging speed to up to fifteen (15) packages per minute (ppm) and is offered with two (2) filling options, either the Syringe Pump or optional Baxa® pump to provide a single, bar coded liquid unit dose package to the bedside. An automatic low fluid detection feature is built into the machine controls which pauses liquid packaging when fluid level reaches a level preset by the pharmacy technician. Built-in purge feature cancels the bar code label and automatically clears the system for the next packaging job.

For your ancillary packaging needs, MPI offers two (2) types of overwrapping systems, the Auto-Print™ Bagging System and the Auto-Print™ Max Bagger for Robot Ready packaging, and the Pharmacy Accessory Label Printer labeling system to provide any pharmacy with the appropriate packaging or labeling solution for their parenteral medications.
