Kit Check RFID Scan Station
Kit Check has released a new RFID scanning station that verifies hospital pharmacy kits in five seconds, reducing inventory count time from 30 minutes to three minutes.
The new scanning station, called the Little Blue Box, is an enclosed RFID designed by the companyReaderA scaled-down version of the drug, used to identify drugs in pharmacy kits, is used in intensive care procedures throughout the hospital, including operating room anesthesia, emergency vehicles, pediatric emergency, childbirth, and other applications.
Each kit typically contains up to 200 drugs.
The Kit Check solution is designed to eliminate the manual processes associated with hospital pharmacy kit replenishment and expiration verification. The kit contains an EPC Gen 2 passive ultra-high frequency (UHF) RFID tray tag with a Kit Check reader. Each item is also labeled with the same type of label.
Kit Check has Zebra printers in every hospital. To date, Zebra printers have added RFID tags to more than one million medication bottles.
The ID number of each pallet label matches the label IDs installed on all items. The user presses the scan button, which triggers the device to interrogate any labels within the kit.
The reader is connected to a PC, and the data read is hosted on Kit Check’s cloud-based servers. The server software displays the results through the computer’s monitor.
Once the read is complete, Kit Check’s software shows which items are missing, which medicines are more expensive, and which are about to expire.
Staff can then manage inventory by using this information.
Several hospitals, including the University of Maryland Medical Center (UMMC) in Baltimore and the CaroMont Regional Medical Center in Gastonia, NC, are using Kit Check’s solution.
The new little blue box weighs about 100 pounds less than the company’s original solution and measures 23 3/8″ x 34″ x 25″ (there is a larger version that measures 25″ x 39″ x 30″ inch).
“We chose lightweight materials to make the new scanning station easier to move, reduced the size, and even tested a number of different magnets to ensure a satisfactory ‘boom’ sound when the door closed,” said Nick, Product Director at Kit Check Petersen said in a statement.
“While we have officially announced the size of the two new scanning stations, the new material allows us to tailor the size to our customers’ needs.”
The new little blue box will be available to all new and existing Kit Check users for free.
Kit Check also supports Zebra’s new zatar solution for remote management and printing via a cloud-based infrastructure.
