Daily Dose Dispenser from KNAPP automates patient-specific blister cards
)
With a shortage of healthcare workers placing unprecedented demands on the sector, automating the production of pre-filled, patient-specific medication packs provides valuable support for pharmacists and other healthcare professionals. With KNAPP’s D3 Daily Dose Dispenser, every step of the process is automatically checked and documented, making it an efficient and safe medication management solution.
Hygienic and accurate system
The D3 Daily Dose Dispenser automatically transfers tablets from their original packaging directly into personalised blister cards, which are then sealed and a card with patient-specific information is attached. The system puts an end to labour-intensive deblistering, intermediate storage in containers, visual inspection and manual sealing. Automation also avoids the risks of tablet abrasion and cross-contamination, while ensuring hygienically clean processes according to clean room class ISO 8. In addition, comprehensive tracking of lot numbers, expiry dates and charges ensures 100% quality control and traceability for every pill dispensed.
More time for patients
For pharmacists providing the service of managing patients’ prescriptions and medication, the D3 Daily Dose Dispenser can significantly reduce the amount of stock that needs to be held in pharmacies. Resealable cups on the blister card even mean that medication changes are possible. With the system, both pharmacies and care facilities can save valuable time in caring for their patients.
Benefits for MicuraPharm
The D3 Daily Dose Dispenser system has secured tangible benefits for the German pharmaceutical service provider, MicuraPharm. At the company’s facility in Klein-Winternheim, near Mainz, weekly blister cards for up to 5,000 patients per shift can be produced with the assistance of only two employees. MicuraPharm’s Managing Director, Edgar Mähringer-Kunz, summarises the advantages of the new system: “The D³ Daily Dose Dispenser handles tablets independently. Each tablet remains in its original packaging until it is dispensed, which the system performs at rapid speed and with the highest degree of safety.”
KNAPP has been a high-tech partner in the healthcare sector for over 70 years, providing solutions for the entire value chain – from production and wholesale to the patient.
