Every dose cut, repackaged and identified
Athos™ uniBOT cuts blister packs, ampules and vials and repackages each unit dose in its own pouch, with a unique code and full process traceability.
Why Athos™ uniBOT
Repackaging by hand takes hours and leaves gaps in traceability
Manual unit-dose repackaging is one of the most labor-intensive tasks in hospital pharmacy, and a common source of identification errors when the process is not documented.
Every blister pack is cut robotically
Every dose is packaged in a pouch with its data printed on it
Every pouch carries a unique code, traceable all the way to the patient
How it works
Scan, load and collect your doses, already packaged
The operator identifies the medication and places the blister packs. Cutting, printing and packaging are automatic.
The medication pouch
Every dose comes out with its identity printed on it
The uniPACK prints the medication data on every pouch. The dose can be identified anywhere in the cycle, without relying on the original packaging.
