B. Braun features the APEX Compounding System, a macro- and micronutrient compounder that helps optimize the safe preparation of customized parenteral nutrition products. Accuracy, ease of use, and efficiency are the key drivers behind its design. The system utilizes 26-lead preassembled sets for its dual-drive filling technology, and features automated delivery as low as 0.2 mL. APEX works with its own proprietary clinical decision support software, TPN Manager, which incorporates Trissel’s Ca/P safety check software. Because TPN Manager is a browser-based system, health care providers can enter parenteral nutrition orders at the patient’s bedside using a tablet computer and electronically transmit those orders directly to pharmacy for authorization.
