The Platform integrates their industry-leading CSTD with the Mundus HD automated compounding system and IV Workflow software, a combined solution designed to reduce risk, improve productivity, and improve safety for healthcare professionals and patients.

Safer Together: The EQUASHIELD^® CSTD + Mundus HD + IV Workflow 

EQUASHIELD^®'s CSTD, Mundus HD and IV Workflow are built on a shared mission: to protect pharmacy and clinical staff from hazardous drug exposure while ensuring the highest level of accuracy and workflow efficiency. Together, they create a closed, automated, and verifiable system that safeguards every stage of the compounding and administration process, from preparation to patient delivery. The EQUASHIELD^® Safety Platform enhances the safety and efficiency of hazardous drug compounding by integrating the Mundus HD system with IV Workflow software and CSTD technology. This comprehensive solution combines EQUASHIELD^®'s trusted CSTD with automated compounding to utilize advanced image processing for built-in verification and bidirectional Electronic Medical Record (EMR) connectivity. It standardizes the entire compounding workflow, from electronic order receipt to pharmacist verification and final dose dispensing approval.

Every dose undergoes 100% automated safety checks, ensuring compounding accuracy and significantly reducing potential manual errors, such as incorrect drug selection, volume calculation errors, incorrect volume measurements, and incorrect diluent choices. 

The EQUASHIELD Safety Platform is designed for easy implementation, seamlessly integrating with existing biological safety cabinets without requiring substantial capital investment, making advanced automation more accessible to hospital pharmacies.

The EQUASHIELD^® CSTD provides a proven leak-proof, vapor-containment barrier that prevents contamination and exposure, featuring a pre-bonded Syringe Unit proven to minimize accidental disconnections and an encapsulated plunger rod to trap vapors and aerosols. Integrated with Mundus HD's automation and intelligent IV workflow software, the system standardizes all compounding workflows, performs automated accuracy checks, and ensures consistent, error-free operations across pharmacy teams, enhancing safety, efficiency, and confidence in every dose.

EQUASHIELD^® has been the most widely used CSTD by healthcare providers for seven consecutive years. It is trusted for its user-friendliness, outstanding service and support, and fully automated manufacturing process. EQUASHIELD^® guarantees consistent quality, reliable supply, and exceptional protection for healthcare professionals around the world.
