Why Athos™ Dosys Narcotics

Controlled substances call for a dedicated cycle, stricter than for any other medication

Managing them by hand multiplies the operational and regulatory compliance risk for the hospital pharmacy department.

What it delivers for the hospital pharmacy

High capacity, made to measure

Shelves and drawers in different sizes to suit each pharmacy's needs.

A cycle just for controlled substances

Self-contained and connected to the hospital's management software.

Traceability report, no paperwork

All data is logged and the report comes straight out of the system.

Automatic ordering and restocking

Supplier orders and restocking orders based on cabinet consumption.

The cycle

Every transaction, recorded in the controlled substance register

Receipts, restocks, dispensations, compounding and write-offs. The system logs them all and the traceability report fills itself in.
