Counting Features

Three - Step Pill Counting

This is the optimized procedure for rapid pill counts. This is where the pharmacist saves a lot valuable time, avoids frustration, and justifies the capital expenditure for the scale. The steps are tare, scan, and pour. This simple counting procedure compares very favorably with the highest speed counters, especially when secondary operations like cleaning are factored into the total time required.

NDC Verification

This very important security and safety feature is something that every pharmacy should have as part of its script filling procedure. It verifies that the supply bottle has the same NDC Code as called for in the script label package, thereby eliminating one source of possible serious error in filling the script. In this era when pharmacists and their assistants are hard pressed to fill large numbers of scripts and fatigue can lead to errors this is probably the least expensive form of insurance available.

Counting Transaction Receipt Printing

This feature provides the pharmacy and the pharmacist with a detailed record (audit trail) for one or all counting transactions. Torbal offers a miniature printer with a small footprint that is excellent for this purpose (see accessories or the kit option). Table counting logs can be also send to a computer via the RS232 port and then transferred to a data processing software.

Onscreen Instructions

This feature makes using the pill counting capabilities much easier. In pharmacies where there are many temporary or new personnel this feature is a very significant benefit and can reduce the amount of time spent teaching significantly. Imagine the convenience and time savings in not having to keep referring to the Users manual while using the pill counter.

Remaining to Fill Display

This feature is designed to help the pharmacist achieve cutoff at the proper pill count. The feature is easily understood and provides a consistent display to indicate the proper point at which to stop pouring pills. It is a great help in preventing overfilling and, therefore, a valuable time saving device.

Drug Name Labeling

The user has the option of entering the drug name associated with each new drug entered into the database. This is best accomplished by using an alphanumeric keyboard connected to the PS/2 port. Once entered, the scale will display the name of the drug in addition to the NDC number. This allows the pharmacist to quickly verify that he scanned the right drug.

LOT Number Labeling

The user has the option of entering the Lot Number associated with each new drug entered into the database. This is best accomplished by using an alphanumeric keyboard connected to the PS/2 port. Keeping track of LOT numbers provides optimum control over the database and keeps the data updated at all times.
