APA is an advanced pill counting algorithm that quickly and efficiently adjusts for pill weight variations providing even greater accuracy when filling prescriptions. The feature is very easy to use and requires little user interaction. The feature can be used to update the Average Piece Weights (APW) for drugs during a regular pill counting transaction or an update of the database which is stored on the system server. This system not only improves counting accuracy, it also speeds up the process significantly and eliminates the need for the pharmacist to count pills manually when updating average piece weights.

Up to a thousand pills or capsules can be packaged in these containers. They are distributed by the caseload to wholesalers, and then, in turn, to pharmacies. The required number of pills to be dispensed is counted from these containers, either by hand or with the use of an automatic pill counter. This is known, for obvious reasons, as a Pour and Count system. Both the United States and Canada use this system. |
