Syringe, IV bag compounding/filling systems fulfill ‘Mission’: Part II

A six-axis robot positioned in the middle of an automated compounding system's chamber serves as the the primary mover of materials in sterile filling liquids into syringes and bags at Mission Health.

(Editor's note: Part One of this series described how Asheville, NC-based Mission Health made use of two RIVA™ automated IV compounding systems from ARxIUM that sterile-fill liquids and lyophilized products into IV syringes and bags for administration to Mission Health patients. Part Two takes a detailed look at the syringe and IV bag filling process.)

The RIVA automated system prepares injectable doses in syringes and IV bags for Mission Health, performing all critical processing inside an ISO-Class 5 cleanroom enclosure with managed airflow to reduce the risk of contamination. The overall compounding process is both complex and variable.
