THE VALIMED STORY
For decades, healthcare facilities and pharmacies were plagued with medication errors caused by human mistakes. Electronic prescribing, bar coding, automated medication dispensing and robotic systems have attempted to alleviate this burden, but human error, in particular in the compounding of high-risk IV admixtures, remains a serious issue.
A new era began with the full-formulary introduction of CDEX’s ValiMed Medication Validation System in 2007. Today ValiMed significantly raises the bar on patient medication safety and pharmaceutical drug loss prevention and is installed in some of the world’s most prestigious healthcare facilities.

In addition to validating high-risk medications before leaving the pharmacy, ValiMed also also monitors and discourages the diversion of controlled substances by validating the returned (unused) narcotics from patient treatment areas and surgery suites.
Other applications of a ValiMed System include Counterfeit Medication Monitoring and Regulatory Compliance and Training.
