Automated medication dispensers

Specializes in Adult Oncology.

I am familar with the Pixis, but I know there are other brands of these machines out there. A google search was unhelpful with the different names of the machines. Does anyone know the names of other automated dispensers available for facilities? It's for a presentation I am doing on how facilities control the use of controlled medications.

MDG is the one we just purchased (half the price of Pixis, and has mobile med carts-or smart carts) They are the new kid on the block compared to the other vendors. http://www.mdgmedical.com/

We call them "Crapudose". We used to have Pyxis, which are much nicer than Accudose.
