Abstract

Our pharmacists provide TPN preparations and injectable chemotherapy drugs for inpatients and outpatients.However,since the checking of injectable drug prescriptions is complicated and time consuming,we developed an aseptic preparation support system to raise efficiency in making admixtures of injectable drugs and improve risk management.We redesigned the clean bench and safety cabinet,and incorporated an embedded 15”LCD monitor.It is equipped with a weighing machine that allows us to record weights on a PC in real-time.A three-button footswitch is connected to the PC to allow us to have hands-free control of the system to maintain aseptic conditions.Liquid volumes and weights and number of vials are automatically calculated from the content per vial and the dosage of the drug in the injection order information.All of this information is displayed on the monitor and using it,we mix the injectable drugs.Differences between calculated and measured weights of vials are also recorded on the PC.The new system has raised the efficiency of mixing injections and improved monitoring accuracy.
