Verderflex launches automatic methadone dispenser

Verderflex product story

Aug 24, 2009
Verderflex has introduced the Methameasure automatic methadone dispensing system, which initially identifies patients by fingerprint.
A pump then measures the appropriate dose of methadone for the patient to drink and a record of the event is automatically saved, reducing the potential for human error.
The model selected for this application was the Verder M500 ac, a robust pump with a proven track record for a variety of applications including vending, chemical dosing and condensate removal.
It has a flow rate of up 730 ml/min, with no internal backflow, ensuring accurate dosing without slip and providing repeatability of typically +/-0.2 per cent, and metering capability of +/-2 per cent.
This performance meets the stipulations of both the Weights and Measures and new Medicines Act.
As the pumps are based on a seal-less design, only the tube comes into contact with the medication.
The tube was selected to be resistant to the acidity of the methadone and the simplicity of pump design makes it easy to exchange the tube in the field.
