WEINAS VD-160 IV Compounding Robot

The WEINAS VD-160 series from Weibond Technology provides automated IV compounding capabilities for hospital pharmacies working primarily with vial-based medications. Designed as a more compact alternative to the PD-160 series, this system delivers equivalent performance and safety features while requiring less floor space.

Product Overview

Weibond Technology developed the WEINAS VD-160 to serve hospitals where vial containers comprise the majority of injectable medications. By focusing exclusively on vial processing, the VD-160 achieves a smaller footprint and lower acquisition cost compared to the dual-compatible PD-160 series.

The system shares the same core technologies as its sibling product: ISO Class 5 sterile environment, image recognition, barcode verification, patented liquid transfer mechanism, and full video documentation. The primary difference lies in container compatibility—the VD-160 processes vials only, while the PD-160 handles both vials and ampoules.

Key Features

WEINAS VD-160 is a compact IV compounding robot by Weibond Technology, featuring vial-optimized processing and ISO Class 5 sterile preparation within a smaller floor footprint than dual-compatible systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the VD-160 differ from the PD-160?

The VD-160 processes vials only, while the PD-160 handles both vials and ampoules. The VD-160 requires less floor space and has a lower acquisition cost, making it suitable for facilities where ampoule-based medications are uncommon.

What quality control measures does the VD-160 include?

The system includes image recognition for container verification, barcode scanning for drug identity confirmation, gravimetric measurement for dose accuracy, and video recording for complete documentation of each preparation.

Can the VD-160 prepare chemotherapy drugs?

Yes, the VD-160 can prepare hazardous drugs including chemotherapy medications that come in vial format. The enclosed ISO Class 5 environment protects pharmacy staff from exposure during preparation.
