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 Techniques |
The most popular method for counting pills in a pharmacy is the good old counting tray with a tongue depressor for pushing the pills. It is inexpensive in terms of the equipment required, but inefficient for counting out a month’s supply of drugs that are taken twice or more per day. It is easy to understand and operate, but requires frequent cleaning to avoid cross contamination as the pills being counted are poured directly on to the hard counting surface. Pills are usually poured by hand directly from the supply bottle in sufficient quantity to assure that the desired count can be reached, and then swept into a collection groove in small quantities (like five at a time) until the required count is reached. The counting is done in the operators head. |
