D3 Daily Dose Dispenser
The D3 Daily Dose Dispenser from KNAPP offers automated production of compliance packs. The system transfers tablets from their original packaging directly into personalised medication blister cards that include patient-specific instructions.
While competitor solutions involve multiple manual processes, the D3 Daily Dose Dispenser has only one manual step. Each tablet remains in its original packaging until it is dispensed, which the system performs at high speed. The solution puts an end to labour-intensive deblistering, intermediate storage in containers, the need for 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.
The D3 Daily Dose Dispenser is capable of storing over 5000 different types of medication in its buffer. With two employees, the solution can produce 120 weekly blister cards per hour.
For pharmacists providing the service of managing patients’ prescriptions and medication, the D3 Daily Dose Dispenser can significantly reduce the amount of stock held in pharmacies, with resealable cups on the blister card even meaning that medication changes are possible. With the system, both pharmacies and care facilities can save valuable time in caring for patients.
The D3 Daily Dose Dispenser is an all-in-one solution encompassing software, service and ongoing support. The solution has been operating successfully at a facility operated by the German pharmaceutical service provider, MicuraPharm.
