CytoCare Workflow Process

1. Pharmacists plan the preparation cycle at the managing station. CytoCare’s software integrates with hospital pharmacy systems’ software (e.g. HL7,XML).
2. CytoCare is loaded with proper drugs and final containers (IV bags, vials, and syringes).
3. A 6-axis robotic arm removes excess solutions, weighs IV solutions for accuracy, and compounds the drugs. Powdered drugs are reconstituted and drugs are mixed by single-use syringes to prevent cross-contamination. Toxic waste is safely discarded, and air curtains with 5 HEPA filters prevent accidental exposure and environmental contamination.
4. Dose accuracy is checked by three independent systems: Digital indexers control the syringe-driving mechanism, position encoders double-check the accuracy of the syringe movement, and fluid measurements are then verified using pre- and post-weight checks.
5. Final syringes, IV bags, or drug vials are unloaded and ready to administer to patients. An automatic hazardous waste management system eliminates exposure to toxic wastes. Unused drugs are also unloaded and available for reuse.
