Accuracy
BARCODE AND BIOMETRIC SCANNING ENSURES SECURE PRODUCTION
AND TRACKS RESPONSIBILITY.
> The system accuracy is 99.98%,
meaning only 1 potential error for
each 5,000 tablets
> The label identifies the quantity
of medications expected in each blister.
> Unlike pouch technology, any error
is identified by the operator before
the card is sealed, which avoids
any modification to the packaging
and substantially diminishes
the intervention time.

WILL COVER 98% OF ALL MEDICATIONS REQUIRED.
SynMed® can adapt and interchange between both
single and multi-dose blister packs.
