FAQ
Why should I consider pouch (sachet) inspection when my team are experienced and quick at doing it already?
- With self learning and faster inspections – these machines detect errors such as missing or incorrect medications. It provides an audit trail for patient safety and compliance standards
- Another critical factor is although the production machines dispense to the prescription – they are dependent on staff filling up their canisters. If an error was made (i.e. tablets look too similar) – there is the risk of the incorrect medication being dispensed
- As the machines are cloud based – it gives you the freedom to inspect from home, another office or city.
