Error-Preventing Pill Counter For Controlled Medication Inventory and NDC Scan-Verification

Kirby Lester KL1Plus

Overview

The KL1Plus is a multi-functional tool for any size community pharmacy. It combines the simplicity of a Kirby Lester tablet counter with computerized scan-verification to safeguard against prescription filling errors, and inventory software to eliminate manual logs for controlled substances. Suitable for any volume or size community or outpatient pharmacy, the KL1Plus ensures prescriptions (tablets, capsules and unit-of-use items) are verified before counting, and every Rx dispense is archived for up to 10 years. And, if your pharmacy uses a fully automated pharmacy robot, a KL1Plus is the perfect partner to handle everything else for 100% medication verification and peace of mind while managing controlled medications.

Perpetual Narcotics Inventory Management

The KL1Plus helps your pharmacy maintain absolute inventory accuracy, especially for controlled medications (manual counting is only 95% accurate at best, with no record of what was filled). This “Directed Dispensing” system ensures all pharmacy staff members who process prescriptions are following best practices.

Kirby Lester KL1Plus is Designed For:

  • Efficient prescription counting for oral solids
  • Prescription verification for unit of use medications (for a 100% verification solution)
  • Rx filling error prevention
  • Narcotics inventory counting and recording
  • Perpetual inventory software, including dynamic interface with Datarithm® 
  • Returns and expired medication inventory tracking

  • Essential element in a pharmacy’s strategy to increase efficiencies in Rx filling and inventory management, and increase safeguards
  • Helps the pharmacy cut unnecessary waste in time, steps, labor
  • Forces a check for all medications (tablets, capsules and unit of use) before counting; KL1Plus software alerts the technician to a potential error (wrong med, strength, or quantity)

  • Orders are verified and filled in less time than traditional hand-counting (14.3 seconds faster (avg) than hand-counting for a 90-count Rx)
  • Completed prescriptions can be retrieved for up to 10 years
  • “Directed Dispensing” ensures all pharmacy staff follow designated controlled medication procedure
  • Inventory management software provides an electronic C-II log and browser-based reports, replacing manual log processes
