DrugCam
Key Benefits
DrugCam helps hospital pharmacy teams catch preparation errors as they happen, reduce waste and maintain traceability without slowing workflow

Enables early detection of compounding errors during preparation, when they can still be corrected

Reduces costly drug waste by preventing incorrect preparation of high‑value oncology medications

Verifies drug identity and volumes even in the absence of usable barcodes

Supports centralized pharmacist oversight without interrupting IV room workflow

Provides complete compounding traceability with automated documentation
Adds an additional safety layer without increasing staff burden or workflow complexity

Find Efficiencies, Strengthen Traceability and Enhance Safety

Efficiency
- Web‑based centralized review enables pharmacists to verify, approve, and release preparations remotely without entering the IV room.
- Maintain IV room throughput without adding process steps, so preparations are complete without delay.
- Critical video intelligence confirms vial identity and syringe volumes during the compounding process, enabling immediate detection of errors at the point they occur.
Traceability
- Confirm vial identity and syringe volumes during preparation to ensure each compounding step is accurate before proceeding.
- Accommodate oncology workflows with variable vial formats to support real-world preparation conditions without manual workarounds.
- Secure video archives and automatically generated PDF reports capture images, volumes, lot numbers, and expiration dates at critical preparation steps.

Safety
- Optical identification verifies vials even when barcodes are missing, damaged, or obscured, supporting uninterrupted oncology and cytotoxic workflows where vial variability is common.
- Dynamic, step‑by‑step instructions for reconstitution and dilution help technicians remain aligned with approved preparation protocols.
- Compatible with laminar airflow hoods and isolators; integrates into existing cleanroom environments without requiring infrastructure replacement.
