Overview
What this product does
KS-240 automates the preparation of patient-specific parenteral nutrition. The system enhances patient safety, traceability, workflow speed, quality assurance, flexibility, compliance and return on investment, while preventing ordering errors, compounding errors, manual additions, touch-contamination, drug loss, needle-based injuries and UV light effects.
Benefits
Designed around the workflow
Patient safety
Automated preparation removes manual additions and touch-contamination from the workflow.
Traceability
Each preparation is recorded through the device workflow.
Quality assurance
Gravimetric control verifies every addition by weight.
Workflow speed
Dispensing runs at up to 1400 mL/min across 24 configured ports.
In action
Designed around the PN workflow.
