The Original VIVID Machine: Rebranded as VIVID ONE
Pharmacies around the world are facing a lot of new challenges, from adapting to new regulations to staying updated with the latest technology. In response, Scientific Industries, Inc. relaunched a rebranded version of the VIVID Rx, the original VIVID machine, as the VIVID ONE. The cutting-edge upgrade includes a state-of-the-art counting engine and the ability to integrate with most pharmacy management systems.
The VIVID ONE also incorporates the company’s proprietary VIVID PLUS cloud-based software. VIVID PLUS is designed to make pharmacies run more efficiently by allowing access to the Medispan® drug database, a system that allows facilities to stay updated on the latest drug information to remain compliant. The software is free for the first year and available for an annual subscription after that.
A Tablet Counter Machine With State-of-The-art Upgrades
For pharmacies, manual tablet counting is a time-consuming, tedious task. With the VIVID ONE tablet counter machine, pharmacy facilities can improve their productivity and efficiency. The VIVID ONE is equipped with the VIVID Universal HL7 interface, a system that’s compatible with most pharmacy management software providers. When enabled, the VIVID ONE automatically sends Rx transactions to the tablet counter. Once the count is finished, an acknowledgment is sent back to the software with the count quantity and tray image, minimizing errors associated with manual counting. By using the VIVID ONE, pharmacies can benefit from improved accuracy, better patient safety, and improved efficiencies.
Other benefits of the VIVID ONE tablet counter machine include:
- Instant, real-time results that exceed 99.99% accuracy
- A 10.1-inch touch capacitive display combined with a user-friendly app
- Free software updates that are automatically pushed when connected to the internet
