Introduction Controlled Drug 

In the fast-paced environment of healthcare, ensuring the security and accuracy of medication dispensing is paramount. Manrex’s Controlled Drug System offers a robust solution designed to enhance drug security and reduce errors, and improve efficiency for both nurses and pharmacists.

Key Features and Benefits

1. Enhanced Security: The Manrex Controlled Drug System eliminates the need for open bottles or vials of controlled substances, even within the pharmacy. This significantly reduces the risk of drug diversion and misuse. This practice is supported by ISMP Canada’s Medication Storage Policy Model, which outlines comprehensive best practices for labeling, security, and auditing procedures to manage controlled substances in long-term care
2. Efficiency in Drug Counts: By using numbered blisters, the system prominently displays the remaining doses, making it easier and faster for nursing staff to perform controlled substance counts. Narcotic control becomes much simpler and easy to track with the system
3. Cost Savings: The system helps in reducing drug loss and the time spent investigating such losses, leading to substantial cost savings for healthcare facilities
4. Improved Safety: With all medications sealed in the blister card, the system minimizes contamination risks and ensures that the correct dosage is administered, thereby reducing medication errors
5. Convenient Refilling: The cards can be refilled at the convenience of pharmacy staff, improving overall efficiency and allowing nursing personnel to focus more on patient care

6. Low cost of entry: 

   The pressure sensitive option remains a low cost controlled drug unit dose solution without large needs of automation. Can be used as a backup to your current system or as a stand alone system. The heat seal option additionally provides an affordable cost per unit if you already have heat sealing equipment.
