Measuring Instruments Directive (MID) and data plate on IV robots   To explain to all our customers, partners and the public what it truly means when you put the CE mark on your product, we have put together a short series of LinkedIn posts, where we will take you through all major components of that process. Today is part 3: Measuring Instruments Directive (MID) and the data plate on IV robots.   The Measuring Instruments Directive (MID) is crucial for ensuring the accuracy and reliability of measuring instruments in pharmaceutical compounding. Precision is critical, and robots incorporating measuring systems—like scales for verifying dosages or product weights—must comply with MID standards. This guarantees regulatory compliance, accuracy, and ultimately, patient safety. For the Compounder we wanted to make sure that our weighing system and our software are MID (and WELMEC 7.2, more on this later) compliant. Hence, we asked our national metrology institute as our notified body to certify our compliance. With that we can guarantee the aforementioned patient safety, compliance with regulatory standards, and product consistency. A summary of a machine’s compliance with regulatory standards and its technical capabilities and limits can easily be viewed on the data plate that is affixed to every IV robot. A typical example can be seen 👇. In the last part of our series on CE and what it involves for IV robots, we will focus on WELMEC as it outlines requirements and recommendations for the software used in measuring instruments.

What is a Declaration of Conformity? To explain to all our customers, partners and the public what it truly means when you put the CE mark on your product, we have put together a short series of LinkedIn posts, where we will take you through all major components of that process. Today is part 2: Declaration of Conformity. An EU declaration of conformity (DoC) is a mandatory document that we as a manufacturer or the authorised representative need to sign to declare that our products comply with the EU requirements. By signing the DoC we take full responsibility for our product's compliance with the applicable EU law. A few key components of the DoC are: ✅ The relevant legislation with which the product complies, as well as any harmonised standards or other means used to prove compliance ✅The details of the notified body which carried out the conformity assessment procedure (if applicable). Our Compounder is used by pharmacists to prepare parenteral medication which are administered to patients. Hence, complying with the Measuring Instruments Directive (MID) is of great importance: we will look into that and how you can easily check compliance with the MID through the type plate on a machine tomorrow! Stay tuned.   Want more info in the meantime? Contact us at info@thecompoundingcompany.com #pharmacy #automation #CE #MID #metrology

What does a CE mark involve? To explain to all our customers, partners and the public what it truly means when you put the CE mark on your product, we have put together a short series of LinkedIn posts, where we will take you through all major components of that process. Today is part 1: CE. The letters ‘CE’ appear on many products traded on the extended Single Market in the European Economic Area (EEA). They signify that products sold in the EEA have been assessed to meet high safety, health, and environmental protection requirements. Manufacturers, like ourselves, play a vital role in ensuring that products placed on the extended single market of the EEA are safe. It is our responsibility to carry out the conformity assessment, set up the technical file, issue the EU declaration of conformity and affix the CE marking to our Compounder. With that, we declare that the product meets all the legal requirements for CE marking and can be sold throughout the EEA. Keep following us to see the next part in this series on the Declaration of Conformity. Want more info in the meantime?

Pretty remarkable! Below you can view a video of one of our first tests with the machine we built to support hospital pharmacies in their compounding activities. Fast forward to today: The Compounder is available for customers! DM us at https://lnkd.in/eMi3BG4A

The good thing is that you can also work safer and smarter while using automation for the production of hazardous medication on our automated compounder. CSTD's of ICU Medical can easily be used on our Compounder. For more information, please contact us through our website: https://lnkd.in/gtCaruGY #hazardousdrug #automation #hospitalpharmacy #compounding

There are various reasons to consider automating the production processes for parenteral medication in pharmacy: 👉 staff shortages 👉 reducing the physical burden of production for staff 👉 reduce the cost per product made 👉 improve accuracy, speed and documentation 👉 better protect staff when working with hazardous drugs Want to learn how The Compounder automates the production process? 👉 Contact us through our website: https://lnkd.in/gtCaruGY #Pharmacy #HospitalPharmacy #HealthcareInnovation #PharmacyInnovation #HospitalPharmacists #IVautomation #compounding #VTGM #Herstellung

The second day of The European Association of Hospital Pharmacists (EAHP) BOOST is underway! #innovation #compounding #ivautomation #eahp #vtgm

Today is the start of The European Association of Hospital Pharmacists (EAHP) BOOST 2024! And it marks the #launch of The Compounder: the smart and affordable solution for #MakingParenteralMedicationSafer! See how we handle CSTD's and Luer-Lock connections? Come by booth 11! #reconstitution #pharmacyautomation #hospitalpharmacy #compounding #parenteral #output #efficiency #innovation

One day left! Tomorrow, the 1st edition of The European Association of Hospital Pharmacists (EAHP) BOOST will start and it coincides with our official launch of The Compounder: the first automated #compounding solution that can handle both Luer-Lock and CSTD connections! The BOOST event also features a seminar block titled "Automation in reconstitution and production of medicines" which examines cutting-edge technologies shaping pharmaceutical manufacturing within hospital settings. It will put the spotlight on the role of robots in Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) production and cytotoxic reconstitution. By harnessing robotic precision, pharmacists can ensure the accuracy and sterility of complex medication preparations, reducing the risk of errors and enhancing patient safety. Furthermore, discussions will delve into the integration of automated quality control measures, optimizing the #efficiency of production processes while upholding stringent regulatory standards. Come and visit booth 11 to see how The Compounder can help you spur on efficiency and patient safety! #reconstitution #pharmacyautomation #hospitalpharmacy #compounding #parenteral #output #efficiency #innovation

Two days left until the start of The European Association of Hospital Pharmacists (EAHP) BOOST in beautiful Florence. Over two enlightening days, this event will delve into the intersection of advanced automation and the human touch in pharmacy practice. We are looking forward to see you there! #hospitalpharmacies #pharmacyautomation #VTGM #innovation #compounding #EAHP #Boost
