General Features:
- Calculation of dose volumes, product expiry and Lot number sequence.
- Calibration of measuring and dosing equipment
- Reconstitution of powder drugs
- Identification of raw materials and final containers by bar-code reader or similar method.
- Transfer of drug vial contents into final containers.
- Addition of further diluents if required.
- Independent checks of volumes dispensed.
- Production of worksheets/audit logs.
- Production of bar-code labels.
- Safe handling and treatment of waste
Process Features:
- Transferring IV solutions to a wide range of final commercial containers/delivery devices
- Solutions transfer is accomplished without spillage or aerosol production
- Supported final containers: saline, glucose solution, ringer lactate on:
- IV bags,
- standard syringes,
- soft plastic bottles (B.Braun Ecoflac), and
- elastomeric infusors (B. Braun EasyPump)
- The transfer of solutions shall exclude air
- Rejected units are identified by the system and placed in a clearly defined “Quarantine” area/container
- The system automatically re-manufactures replacement units where applicable
- The system does not cross contaminate materials, tubing sets, final containers, etc.
- System components are resistant to cleaning materials
Calculations:
- CytoCare is capable of calculating the following operating parameters:
- Volume of reconstitution and diluent fluids required
- Concentration of drug solutions and volumes required to achieve desired dose
- Optimum number of reconstituted vials required to achieve required dose/batch size
