Development and clinical verification of automatic auxiliary dosing and dispensing equipment

In order to strengthen the automation level of intravenous infusion mixing and dispensing, improve the work efficiency, and reduce the drug risk caused by dispensing errors, we explore the development of automatic auxiliary dispensing equipment in the Pharmacy Intravenous Admixture Service and verify the performance of the equipment. The drug dispensing data of the automated auxiliary blending equipment during the dosing and dispensing process from January to June 2020 were collected as the experimental group, and the traditional operation data from January to June 2019 were used as the control group. The stability, quality, and speed of the equipment were verified and evaluated according to the provisions of "Chinese Pharmacopoeia" and "Quality Management Standards for Centralized Dispensing of IV Drugs". The equipment in this study has good stability. Compared with the control group, the dosing error rate of the experimental group was significantly lower (P < 0.05), and the dispensing speed was significantly faster (P < 0.001). In addition, no statistical significance was observed in the quality of the drug, and the residual amount of the drug solution met the requirements. The automatic auxiliary dispensing equipment is simple in operation, convenient in use, and stable in clinical trial performance. Compared with manual dispensing, it has greater advantages and has the value of development and promotion in intravenous drug dispensing in large hospitals.
