IV ICON Cyto – compounding system for chemotherapy preparations improves patient safety and streamlines the preparations of ready-to-administer (RDA) chemotherapy doses. Chemotherapy doses are prepared under controlled aseptic conditions and the process is comprehensively documented during operation. A closed system minimizes workers’ exposure to dangerous chemotherapy preparations.
IV ICON Cyto compounding system for chemotherapy preparations also handle the process of reconstituting powdered chemotherapy preparations. The reconstituting process involves adding the solvent liquid to the chemotherapy preparation bottle and mixing it into a ready concentrate. After this, the uniform concentrates can be transferred to the process of making the chemotherapy doses for use.
