I wonder if the Moran Eye Center will be using CDEX technology! ….

Using ValiMed, a new device from CDEX, the hospital now validates the contents of all returned narcotics from the operating room.

“The success of the implementation proved the value of the device,” said Jorgenson. “It also got us thinking about other ways it could help us. We are launching another CDEX pilot in the pharmacy at the University of Utah’s Huntsman Cancer Institute to provide additional assurance that our compounded chemotherapy injections are correct. Putting medication validation at the front end will help us eliminate medication error.”
“Looking forward, we expect to expand the use of ValiMed to all of our OR and oncology pharmacies,” added Jorgenson. ‘We are also interested in working with CDEX as they develop additional uses for their ValiMed products.”
Jorgenson noted that using ValiMed for pre-administration drug validation may require additional testing to comply with applicable FDA and other legal requirements.
