Compounding Robots for Intravenous Therapy in European Countries: A Review in 2020.

摘要

A literature review was conducted in 2019 on the reconstitution of intravenous drugs. The following methods were identified: manual, semi-automatic, and automatic. A classification was carried out in three categories: automatic syringes, peristaltic pumps, and compounding doses robots. Data concerning the robots described in the previous review and possible robots that have appeared in the meantime were collected. The robots have been classified into 2 categories: with or without arms. The objective of the present review focuses on an updated review of the availability of compounding robots for intravenous therapy that are currently on the market.
