CAPS Teams with Kit Check to Add Serialized Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Tags on Pre-Filled Syringes

Central Admixture Pharmacy Services, Inc. (CAPS) has announced a collaborative agreement to embed Kit Check’s serialized RFID tags on CAPS’ pre-filled anesthesia syringes effective immediately. The syringes with embedded tags will be recognized automatically by Kit Check software in use in over 400 of the leading hospitals in the U.S. No additional steps are required by hospitals other than ordering pre-filled syringes with the serialized embedded tags. This technology is designed to help hospital pharmacies improve patient outcomes and operational efficiencies.

Enabling CAPS’ anesthesia syringes with Kit Check RFID has the ability to streamline the inventory management process by insuring the correct syringes are automatically stocked in the anesthesia kits. Each Kit Check RFID tag is registered with the Kit Check’s readers and inventory is managed through the cloud-based software.

CAPS’ 503B–registered outsourcing facilities offer pre-filled anesthesia syringes designed to prevent common compounding and labeling errors that occur in the operating room, while maintaining sterility and potency for extended beyond use dating. CAPS’ pre-filled syringes are prepared in a controlled environment and have undergone stringent release testing for sterility, potency, and endotoxin designed to meet the new FDA quality control requirements.
