"I propose that if Valimed can be used to discriminate between authentic and counterfeit drugs, then it can validate a admixture. Pharmaceuticals have all kinds of stuff in them besides the active ingredient(s)."

That is right..Diddy.. pills have inert ingredients. But Valimed can identify none of them unless they respond to UV stimulation and flourese, and there is a signature loaded. It will identify nothing unless signatured. How can it?? It ain't magic.

I doubt that it will chack the degree of salinity in a drip mixture either..and surely not the microbes that might lurk there.

LOL!! We are morphing lots of Nouns into verbs or adverbs here. Its a wonder that Sanddollar ain't jumped on us for it.

Crow, You yes nope. I say the Baxa FAQ does not specifically support your assertion.

You say:

"It will check only ONE medicine at a time. An "admixture" is more than that. Now if there was a "standard admixture" more or less universally or very often used, containing more than one medicine, and a signature could be developed for that specific "admixture" then yes maybe it would work."

I say... of course it has to have a signature in order to check the medicine. And CDEx doesn't seem to care whether the medicine is a standard mixture or custom formulated for a specific patient:

From Rottenapple:


d4diddy...I wonder how much a new signature to the ValiMed costs? From the FAQ, (BAXA) it would take at least a week to add a signature. Now think about this statement.

"VALIMED(TM) PATIENT SAFETY SOLUTION:
Validates High-Risk medications that are uniquely compounded for a specific patient."

It's hard to believe that when a hospital gets a new patient in, they will have to send a sample to CDEX to get a signature. Not only will they have to pay extra for it, they have to wait at least a week to get the ValiMed updated. It makes no sense!!!
