KIRKLAND, Wash., Dec. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- "We are excited to announce our reseller agreement with Intelligent Hospital Systems (IH Systems) for their state of the art IV medication preparation system, RIVA," said Carla Corkern, CEO of Talyst.  "This agreement provides Talyst with a "best of breed" automated IV product to integrate into our AutoPharm Enterprise System, as we expand our product and solution offerings to our customers."   

RIVA is the only fully-automated IV compounding system on the market today and offers pharmacies numerous safety and efficiency benefits. The technology provides true walk-away capability, allowing for extended production runs with no staff intervention required. RIVA can process individual or batch doses in a USP<797> compliant ISO Class 5 environment. In addition, the system lowers the cost-per-dose of medication, provides a complete electronic audit trail and labels every dispensed dose.
