PillPick Pharmacy Automation System

Description:

Swisslog’s PillPick pharmacy automation system provides a comprehensive approach from unit dose packaging through medication dispensing. PillPick is the ultimate automated pharmacy system providing patient safety, medication dispensing efficiency, and pharmacy inventory management.

Why PillPick?

The PillPick system barcodes, packages, stores and dispenses unit dose medications. PickRing, Swisslog’s unique patented “patient-day” or cabinet-specific medication administration component, sets Swisslog apart from all other provider systems. PillPick complements cart fill, cabinet, and hybrid distribution methods.

PillPick Automated Medication Flow

With the Swisslog PillPick system, centralized and decentralized hospital pharmacies benefit from a faster turnaround time, increased productivity, and greater patient safety at a lower cost of operation.

Bulk pharmaceuticals are packaged, barcoded, and labeled into unit doses. Unit doses are then automatically placed into storage for future retrieval and dispensing to nursing units on PickRings labeled for patients or dispensing cabinets.

Why PickRing?

PickRing* is a flexible plastic ring which organizes unit doses arranged in any desired order. The PickRing contents are labeled with information chosen by nursing; e.g. drug and/or patient information.

> Bedside Point-of-Care

Prepares medications for barcode based bedside verification

> Transport Ready

PickRings can be transported to nursing units in cassettes, carts, or pneumatic tube systems

> Custom Configurable

PickRings can be prepared to any grouping of medications for 24-hour, first dose administration, or dispensing cabinet restock

PillPick Manager

The system software (PillPick Manager) provides monitoring,reporting, diagnostics, inventory management, and control of all system components. The software integrates all modules in the PillPick system under a single application. The software interfaces with the pharmacy and/or the hospital information system for data transfer enabling routine cart fill, replenishment of floor stock, or cabinet restock.

                            

 

PillPick System Components

BoxStation

BoxStation is a password protected, bulk container loading workstation for preparation of medication packaging, storage and dispensing. A lock prevents tampering with canisters (Pill-Boxes). Data is entered via the workstation into a database. A radio frequency (RFID) tag on each canister contains product and inventory information.

AutoBox

AutoBox is the automatic buffer module that loads and unloads canisters to and from the packager (PillPicker) without operator assistance. Canisters with radio frequency (RFID) tags are read to determine bulk drug information. Database minimum/maximum values automatically identify quantity of unit doses required for packaging and restocking.

PillPicker

PillPicker packages, barcodes and labels bulk pharmaceutical items into unit doses ready for automated dispensing and bedside verification. Products are packaged into a unit dose bag and labeled with a barcode and a unique serial number. Unit doses can then be dispensed from the packager or automatically loaded into the dispensing/storage robot (DrugNest).

AutoPhial

AutoPhial enables barcoded overwrap of vials, syringes, ampoules and cups. The module also cuts blister sheets into individual doses and over-wraps.

DrugNest

DrugNest is a high-density robot warehouse for the automated storage of barcoded unit doses. The warehouse is automatically loaded from the packager (PillPicker), ready for unit dose retrieval and distribution to patient floors for individual patient administration.

PickRing

PickRing provides a 24-hour supply of barcoded patient medications, and is automatically assembled onto a patented flexible ring with medications arranged in any sorting or grouping order desired; e.g., the order of administration (cart fill), cabinet specific (refills). Each PickRing contains a tag specifying each drug, administration time, and other details.
