DRX300s

NTEP Approved for Prescription use and Pill Counting
The DRX5 series scales are manufactured in ISO 9001 certified facilities and are NTEP Certified for pill counting and prescription weighing in a pharmacy. This series includes scales ranging in capacity from 200 g to 500 g, with readability of 1 milligram. All scales meet Handbook 44 requirements for Class A balances and are legal for trade..

10,000 Drug Database Capacity
The pill counting feature is NTEP-approved and legal for trade in prescription filling. The scale's database can store up to 10,000 NDC numbers with their associated, drug weights, names and production LOT numbers. New drugs and their NDC codes are quickly and easily added to the database, which may be maintained by updating the stored sample sizes and pill weights.

RX Verification
The NDC verification feature eliminates potential errors in prescription filling. It ensures that the correct prescription is counted and filled. The feature allows the user to compare two NDC codes and check for a match. The Rx label barcode can be compared to the stock bottle barcode. Additionally, the NDC verification feature can be used as an integrated part of the pill counting feature or as a separate function.

NDC Data Entry Reminder
This feature ensures that the database is always updated with current drug LOT information, which is important for optimum counting accuracy. The data entry reminder feature reminds the user to update drug data, such as the average piece weight and sample size. The feature tracks NDC entries and displays a message reminding the user to update the database with new information.

Drug Name Labeling
When entering new drugs to the scale’s database, each entry is associated with an NDC number in addition to which the user can assign a drug name. Labeling the drug with the actual name is quickly and easily done via an external keyboard connected to the scale’s standard PS/2 port.

LOT Number Labeling
In addition to labeling a drug with an actual name the user can assign a production LOT number. Labeling the drug with the actual name and LOT number is quickly and easily done via an external keyboard connected to the scale’s PS/2 port. The LOT number entry is particularly useful when maintaining drug’s average piece weight.

Onscreen Instructions
In addition to labeling a drug with an actual name the user can assign a production LOT number. Labeling the drug with the actual name and LOT number is quickly and easily done via an external keyboard connected to the scale’s PS/2 port. The LOT number entry is particularly useful when maintaining drug’s average piece weight.

Advanced Pill Counting Accuracy
APA is an advanced pill counting algorithm that can adjust for production LOT pill weight variations and provide even greater accuracy when counting large quantities. The feature is very easy to use and requires little user interaction.

Deviation Warning
The Deviation warning feature allows checking for possible discrepancy between the stored average piece weight, and the average piece weight of the drug which is to be counted. The feature signals if a deviation greater than +/- 2% is found.

Remaining to Fill Display
When performing a counting transaction, the remaining to fill feature assists in achieving cut off at the proper pill count. When the feature is enabled, in addition to the displayed pill count, a remaining to fill countdown is displayed. The display indicates how many more pills must be placed in the vial to achieve the desired count, and always indicates “0” at the target count. This feature helps to prevent overfilling. If too many pills are added, an overfill indicator displays the number of pills that should be removed from the vial.

Laser Barcode Scanner
The DRX300s and DRX500s are equipped with a high performance single-line laser barcode scanner. Automatic activation and excellent depth of field ensures fast and reliable scanning of the NDC barcodes at all times.

Counting Transaction Printing
This feature allows the user to print a record of a performed counting transaction. The printed receipt indicates the date and time of the performed transaction, as well as the NDC code, drug name, production LOT number, average piece weight and the actual count. The printed receipt may be used as a logging tool for the counting feature.

PS/2 External Keyboard Port
Any external full PC keyboard can be connected to the scale via the PS/2 port. This allows the user to input data quickly and easily. External keyboard connection becomes particularly useful when entering drug data such as the actual drug name or the production LOT number.

Auto Calibration
The state-of-the-art self-calibrating mechanism keeps the scale calibrated at all times, thereby providing optimum weighing accuracy. The scale will automatically calibrate itself at startup, pre-set time intervals or whenever required by temperature changes. The need for an external calibration weight is eliminated, while providing the user with confidence that measurements are accurate and correct.

Graphical Display
The DRX 5 series scales are equipped with a Graphical LCD display which measures 134mm x 40.4mm (240 x 64 dots). The LCD displays full text and graphics which makes the scale user-friendly and intuitive.

Sealed Keypad
A sealed front panel protects the keypad from spills, dust, and wear and tear. An adequate number of keys, including numeric and navigation keys, eliminates key multiplexing and creates a user-friendly interface.

Navigation Keys
The scale’s Navigation Keys allow the user to easily and intuitively operate through the scale’s function menus and configuration procedures. Each operation is fast and can be completed within seconds. In addition, for the operator’s convenience, the scale is equipped with dual TARE keys located on each side of the unit.
