Anyone have experience with Pyxis CareFusion?

I have so much trouble with this machine at work. When you're working in the narcotics safe, it only gives you 2 chances at getting the inventory count right. Which is particularly hard when stuff isn't where it's supposed to be. I end up having a discrepancy report print out on me whenever I go in there. Why can't the machine just tell you how much there is supposed to be in the safe after you dispense something and you just confirm/deny it, instead of having to count the entire inventory of that drug everytime you go in.

So you actually count the drug instead if just hitting ok. They cut your lazy off at the pass.

No, so you actually know how much is supposed to be there rather than guessing if something is misplaced or missing.

The problem is that it is not an NDC based system. Like, for one discrepancy that I had, I thought I was only supposed to be counting how many vials we had. It actually wanted me to count the vials + pre-filled syringes.

Dude, how dense are you about hospital pharmacy? The whole point is to track down the missing/misplaced stuff. If it isn't there in the count then it needs to be accounted for...

Just wait till you come across a drug that's counted in mL's. It's always fun counting Tussionex when someone partialed a bulk bottle.

yeah duh it's a hospital, if we were using NDC's for tracking, the whole thing would go to pot.

supply switches weekly man...one day tubex, another day glass vials, you'll be lucky to have the same qty sometimes.

Pyxis Medstations: Turn the blind count off.

C-II safe: Go to Setup > System Config > Options > Display Inventory. Make sure "Display Inventory" box is checked. This should solve your problem.
