15 September 2017 - - US-based medical technology company TruMed Systems has launched the AccuVax Vaccine Management System into full commercial availability, the company said.

According to the company, the AccuVax Vaccine Management System streamlines vaccine workflow, saves nursing time, minimizes vaccine waste, safeguards vaccine potency, and helps protect against medical errors.

Vaccines are one of the most significant public health successes. Yet, lapses in handling can render a vaccine ineffective and may leave people unprotected or needing revaccination, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Inventory losses due to power failure, improper storage and expired doses are common, and have created challenges for even the most advanced practices and health systems.

According to the company, AccuVax offers key advantages over conventional vaccine refrigeration and storage practices.

The system automates time-consuming storage, handling, and documentation tasks. It also dramatically simplifies compliance with CDC guidelines, as well as the requirements of the federally funded vaccine program.

AccuVax is the purpose-built vaccine supply management system that automates product control and integrity, minimises risks of incorrect vaccine delivery, and optimises office work flow so that providers can focus on care delivery.

It is an integrated solution that includes hardware, software, online access, software updates, training, optional integrations, technical support and maintenance.
