TORBAL ® Rx brings you pillcounting.com - experience our tablet counters, learn about our technology, understand the features...
The NDC verification feature eliminates potential errors in prescription filling. It ensures that a prescription is correctly counted and filled. The feature allows the user to compare two NDC codes and check for a match. The NDC on your Rx label barcode is compared to the stock bottle barcode. If the two scanned NDC codes are the same the scale displays "Match OK" and allows to proceed with pill counting. If the codes are different, the scale displays a "Failed" message. Pill counting transactions which have failed Rx verification are recorded by the server in a dedicated report. As soon as "Failed" Rx verification occurs the server instantly sends out an email alert notifying the administrators. The NDC verification feature can be used as an integrated part of pill counting, or as a separate function to verify medication other than pills or tables, such as creams, syrups and inhalers.
Pill Counting in the European Union |
The distribution of prescription medications in the United States of America is handled in a much different manner than it is in the European Union. Let’s take a moment to examine the differences and see how it affects the consumer. In the United States, prescription drugs in pill form are sold in bulk containers. Up to a thousand pills or capsules can be packaged in these containers. They are distributed by the caseload to wholesalers, and then, in turn, to pharmacies. The required number of pills to be dispensed is counted from these containers, either by hand or with the use of an automatic pill counter. This is known, for obvious reasons, as a Pour and Count system. Both the United States and Canada use this system. |
