  • System and methods for detection and identification of chemical substances
    Publication number: 20080319795
    Abstract: The invention provides a system and methods for centralized collection and verification of controlled substance/pharmaceutical waste. The invention provides a system and methods that replace the witness's co-signature with a process of centralized pharmacy controlled substance validation. In this process, the administering health care practitioner or nurse will give the medication to the patient and return the wasted portion of the dose to a secured storage area for a centralized pharmacy to pickup. The collected doses are then validated at the centralized pharmacy. Validation can include determining the composition, concentration, amount and type of drug.
