Automated Compounding Device Upgrade

Baxter Healthcare

Baxa has released a software upgrade for its ExactaMix automated compounding devices--the EM2400 and the EM1200. The new functionality includes 14 updates that provide pharmacy directors with enhanced patient safety measures and features. For example, as water is now the default calibration ingredient for the US market, the calibration source has been redefined to allow multiple water calibration products. Other key features include unloading the current patient formula when the user exits the compounder screen, reducing the potential for the user to pump a wrong formula into the bag; a new priming process to improve the purging of air bubbles in the inlets prior to pumping; and integration with Baxa's DoseEdge pharmacy workflow manager, which enables pharmacies to export MixCheck report data for use with DoseEdge TPN. To facilitate the upgrade, current ExactaMix customers will be offered one-on-one live installation support.
