Automated Compounding System for IV Room

BD (Formerly CareFusion Corporation)

CareFusion announces the new Pyxis IV system to help standardize workflow in the central pharmacy IV room, and securely manage a closed-loop pick, prep, and check process. The system includes monitors in the IV room that walk clinicians through each compounding step and video cameras that record compounding components to help facilitate remote checking by a pharmacist, which saves time by eliminating the need for cleanroom entrance and exit processes. The system also minimizes waste by organizing all similar orders and recommending the proper vial size to use when compounding. The Pyxis IV system helps improve accuracy, reduce the error rate of the IV compounding process, and frees up pharmacy staff to redeploy to clinical activities.
