Crow3, ValiMed G4 “catches” errors that may be missed with
other technologies, according to this ASHP professional presenting at the last ASHP MidYear event. I expect even more will come to light in a few weeks when the MidYear brings them all together while the chemo dilution and narcotic diversion issues continue to make national and even world news.

ValiMed G4
.. The ValiMed G4 drug validation system
identifies drug strengths and volume-by-weight
in real-time, validating proper dose, diluents,
and concentration of high-risk compounded
medications and treatment solutions.
.. This “catches” errors that may be missed with
other technologies.

Other Technology –
The “Final” Check?
USP Chapter <797>, Boards of Pharmacy, and
others are recommending end product testing
for ACCURACY
.New technology allows testing in the I.V. Room
