Aethon's Unveils MedEx "Chain of Custody" Technology

August 24, 2010

Aethon's MedEx System, the nation's first "Chain-of-Custody" Technology for Hospital Pharmacies, is operational at the University of Maryland Medical Center. MedEx allows a hospital's pharmacy to know the real-time location and status of medications throughout the facility. The MedEx system combines passive RFID technology and biometrics capabilities built into Aethon's TUG carts to automatically create an electronic chain of custody receipt (person, location, date/time) indicating when an item is placed in and removed from the TUG. The MedEx system helps to improve regulatory compliance related to the delivery and storage of medications as well as minimize the frequency of missing medications.  Learn more at www.aethon.com.
