• Baxa (Englewood, Colorado) reported launch of the Repeater Pump II, designed to provide accurate delivery of pharmacy solutions into a variety of containers, without the need for calibration. The pump is a no-calibration pharmacy pump, and uses a fixed-volume pumping design commonly referred to as 'positive displacement.' The positive displacement nature of the pump eliminates the need for calibration or adjustment, providing accurate liquid delivery regardless of source container, final container, tubing diameter and fluid viscosity. The Repeater Pump II uses a number of features that have been designed through user feedback and customer preference trials. These include snap-and-go tubeset installation and memory field recalls at the touch of a button, which makes it easy to get started and repeat common applications. Additionally, Baxa has launched its MedBoard Web-based medication tracking system, designed to record pharmacy preparation and delivery activities. MedBoard helps reduce time spent fielding nursing calls and tracking order status. The system requires only a Web browser and handheld scanners to get started. Once the user-customizable features have been determined, developers configure the handheld devices to include the facility's specific rules, lists and users. MedBoard employs technical, administrative and policy safeguards to ensure data security and is HIPAA compliant. Baxa is a provider of technologies for fluid handling and delivery.
