CytoCare vs ?
![]() | Although 2 vendors (MDS in Holland during last 7 years) and RIVA in Canada (during last 20 years) have stated that they have robots that make chemo, the fact of the matter is that despite these companies sales announcements as far back as 2002, no hospital pharmacy in the world has used a robot other than CytoCare to compound chemotherapy doses for patients. The units of these companies that were installed in the past were all returned by the customers as unusable. |
