Abstract:
A system for use in a hospital or other medical facility that protects medications (e.g., injected or orally administered) against diversion by facility personnel when transported from a central pharmacy to the patient. The system includes a portable hand-held carrier to encapsulate the medication, which may be contained within a vial, cartridge, or other container. The hand-held carrier protects and prevents removal or administration of the medication until after it has been transported to the patient. Wireless RFID or similar technology unlocks the hand-held carrier and enables injection, dispensing or other administration at the patient's bedside. Electronics in a bedside portion of the system communicate through a network to log the injection or other administration event in a central database.
