KIRO Oncology

KIRO Oncology is a robotic system that automates the complex process of compounding oncology medications. It ensures precise dosing through features like gravimetric measurements, barcode readers, and cameras, enhancing accuracy and patient safety.

The system's flexible design accommodates various delivery methods, including syringes, IV bags, cassettes, and elastomeric pumps. Its enclosed, self-cleaning environment protects staff during the preparation of hazardous drugs. Integration with hospital information systems (HIS) and compatibility with closed system drug transfer devices (CSTD) further streamline operations and administration safety.
