Executive Summery • Preparation and Administration of Drugs • In most hospitals the reconstitution and preparation of drugs takes place in central units, typically in a controlled environment with experienced staff. When prepping medications there are key elements that need to be taken into account • Accurate dosing • Sterility • Stability • Operator safety • Verification and quality assurance • Adhering to guidelines and recommendations is important, but may not be sufficient. The preparation and administration of drugs in certain situations, for example pediatrics, oncology, etc., is sometimes more complex and the risk of errors or system failures could result in catastrophic outcomes for a patient. The prevalence of these errors is not exactly known, but serious incidences are reported in the press and our own studies indicate that it is significant. DrugLog offers the opportunity to introduce a Quality Control check, prior to the injection or infusion of the drug.
Executive Summery DrugLog Technology The core technology is based on absorption spectroscopy in the ultraviolet (UV) spectral range from 200 nm to 800 nm. Existing (off the shelf) mini spectrometers and UV lamps are used in the system. In order to identify the drug to be tested a broad band spectral analysis of the liquid sample is made and matched against stored reference spectral data for calibrated drugs. For each set up at a drug preparation unit, selected drugs from different manufactures are calibrated and stored in the system as a reference drug spectral database. In this way generic drugs that show differences in spectral response can be identified, which automatically can identify potential counterfeits. Currently there are a total of 26 drugs tested and calibrated for full range of clinically used concentrations in the DrugLog database. Concentrations of drugs are based on an adapted interpolation analysis.
