Unit-dose preparation, fully automated
Athos™ uniPACK is the packaging robot we developed at APD to prepare unit-dose packaging in any hospital pharmacy.
Why Athos™ uniPACK
Packaging and identifying every dose by hand is slow and leaves room for error
Preparing unit-dose packaging is a painstaking process. Done by hand, it takes up pharmacy staff time and increases the risk of error.
What it automates
Heat-seal packaging
Solid oral dosage forms in preformed paper tape, produced to a validated process, with precut lines.
1D and 2D code printing
With pictograms and a range of font styles.
Electronic control
Computer with a touchscreen and an integrated barcode reader.
Automatic hopper
For packaging bulk medication, ampules and vials.
How it works
From original pack to unit dose, identified and sealed
The whole process is electronically controlled from the system's touchscreen.
The medication pouch
Every dose comes out with its identity printed on it
Every pouch carries the medication and hospital data, customizable to each facility's needs. The dose can be identified anywhere in the cycle.
Specifications
Solids, bulk, ampules and vials in a single system
