Efficiency

SynMed® is connected via an interface to the pharmacy’s management system and manages all the operations, from prescription reception to blister-card preparation. By simultaneously analyzing prescriptions for multiple patients, SynMed® establishes its work plan according to the selected medications and their position in the machine and places them in the appropriate blisters.

Speed

SynMed® consists of groups of cards on production trays and seven units that select and place the medications in the blisters simultaneously.

SynMed® automatically manages the selection, counting, and placement of medications in the blisters at a continuous rate of 55 doses per minute.

Depending on the average number of medications per patient, up to 45 cards can be completed per hour by one operator.

Accuracy

SynMed® automates blister-card preparation and enables the pharmacy to greatly increase safety. By integrating scanning and reference points at several production and verification stages, SynMed® ensures simple and thorough control.

The medications are automatically selected, counted, and placed in the blisters, while the pharmacy’s management system sends the prescriptions to the robot electronically. The resulting reliability is clearly superior to that of the manual preparation method.
