Management of medications and unit-dose drugs from storage to ward

Medicines travel a lot within healthcare facilities. From the centralized pharmacy to the individual wards, it is essential to have storage and distribution systems that guarantee safety and efficiency. In this process, the ISO standard and the flexibility of CFS Italia trolleys are the difference makers.

The first step is storage. This is how it works: in the centralized pharmacy, medications are prepared in modular cassettes, organized according to patients and the directives of healthcare personnel.

For the storage of medicines and pharmaceuticals, hospitals need sturdy and capacious trolleys, for example the Space ISO trolley by CFS Italia. Thanks to the ISO standard, it is possible to quickly remove and transfer baskets and cassettes, in an orderly and rapid manner. Space ISO is a trolley manufactured in multiple dimensions, ideal for the storage of medications in small and large quantities but less practical for distribution in each ward. For this next phase, a more agile solution is needed: CFS Italia recommends TWISTER trolley line.

How medications arrive in the ward

The next step is crucial: moving the drugs from the storage solution to the ward quickly and safely. Here too, the ISO standard is the key to efficiency. We will identify two ways to bring the medication into the patient room:

  • in a medication trolley designed to accommodate ISO cassettes: the cassettes are transferred from SPACE ISO to a more compact trolley. This system allows you to easily move everything you need to the different wards;

  • in a medication trolley with drawers designed to accommodate ISO baskets: in this configuration, the ISO baskets are easily inserted into drawers equipped with a special frame. Thanks to this system, only the basket is moved, reducing the overall dimensions and improving the mobility of the trolley.

For both solutions, we designed a unique trolley: Tornado Large ISO. A capacious, versatile and practical trolley, perfect for the daily management of pharmaceuticals.

Maximum customization with Tornado Large ISO

Tornado Large ISO is not just a medication cart: it is a flexible and highly customizable solution. Its hybrid configuration makes it versatile and ready to accommodate both ISO baskets and modular cassettes, allowing for dynamic management of medications.

Furthermore, Tornado Large ISO is compatible with any cabinet and trolley with ISO features: a convenient solution for smooth management throughout the healthcare facility. The dialogue between trolleys allows for the movement of materials in an orderly and uninterrupted manner, and above all, optimizes the investment and adapts to the evolving needs of any ward.
