Parata Systems Launches the Next Generation of Vial-Filling Robot

DURHAM, N.C., Oct. 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Parata Systems, a leading provider of pharmacy automation, including vial-filling, adherence packaging, and workflow and patient experience solutions, announces the launch of a new generation of their vial-filling robot, Max^®2.

Improving pharmacy workflow helps alleviate medication errors that harm approximately 1.5 million people each year in the United States. By automating the labeling, filling, and capping of vials, the Parata Max 2 improves workflow and meets the demands of busy pharmacies across all settings. Max 2 contributes to reduced costs and medication errors by automating up to 80% of a pharmacy's oral solids with accuracy for drug and dose.

"Improving pharmacy workflow can directly increase patient safety," said Mark Longley, EVP of Sales and Marketing at Parata. "The enhancements we made in Max 2 are designed with the pharmacy's efficiency and accuracy top-of-mind."

To deliver the technology pharmacies need, Max 2's advancements include:

• Enhanced, powerful software with user-friendly navigation
• Color-coded LED lights provide visual cues to alert pharmacy team members when caps and vials should be refilled
• Integrated verification camera to capture the contents of every vial before capping
• Dual touchscreens with on-demand access to training, documentation, and requests for service
• Connectivity through the Internet of Things using Parata Pulse ^SM which delivers business insights to enhance efficiencies
• Automated drug cell calibration for quick and accurate NDC changes
• 2D barcode scanner to reduce manual NDC entry time

"Innovation with pharmacy teams in mind is the driving force behind the enhancements we made to Max," said Rocco Volpe, Parata's COO. "We've listened to our customers and met the needs of the market, combining ease-of-use with the fastest vial-filling and capping solution our customers value."
