The NACDS Pharmacy & Technology Conference in August was the launch point for the new compact AVR-Series Automatic Vial Filler from TCGRx. AVR is a high-speed dispensing system that can group up to 12 canisters in order to accommodate high-volume or large-sized medications. The canisters can be calibrated at the pharmacy when medications are substituted or an NDC is changed to reduce canister turnaround time. The system supports 64, 70, 76, or 82 of the pharmacy’s fastest-moving medications. According to Duane Chudy, CEO of the company, the AVR can be placed almost anywhere in a pharmacy, due to its compact footprint, and even on an existing countertop or a cart. “This allows the option to place the AVF in an existing space instead of having to remove fixtures,” says Chudy.
