Mains Concepts There are 3 different types of Pyxis® solutions; Open, Closed and Hybrid. Each solution is designed to fulfil varied departmental requirements. The majority of Pyxis Supply Technology installations are Hybrid systems.
Open System Lower price Less enabling works Rapid access
Closed System Higher security Higher control
An open system means that supplies are automated without being shut behind closed doors. Open systems, such as the patented JITrBuD technology, are popular for storing low cost or bulky items such as blankets, gloves or IV Fluids.
A closed system is a storage system where supplies are locked behind closed doors. Closed systems are popular as they have much higher levels of security. They can manage all supplies but are best suited to high cost lines.
Higher accuracy
Hybrid System Apply cost/ functionality as you wish to almost item-specific levels Higher control Rapid access
4
Hybrid systems combine the benefits of open and closed technologies by offering secure storage for high-cost stock items as well as inventory management for low-cost items.
Hybrid Systems Hybrid Systems are tailored for each individual location using a combination of open and closed technologies, which work seamlessly together to maximise the beneďŹ ts that you receive. Our hybrid systems are unique... Due to the complete integration between the PyxisÂŽ solutions, terminal log-in is only required once. This is to allow, and maintain full access to the stock. Open and closed systems can be combined to achieve economies of scale, enhanced functionalities, increased security and rapid access to products.

Our Hybrid Systems are unique because log-in is only required at one system.

Benefits: Simple ‘Touch to Take’ technology, which is quick and easy to use.
Helps to reduce manual stock keeping processes.
Allows for automated re-ordering of goods.
Reduces spend on supplies.
JITrBUD A JITrBUD is designed for rapid access through using a simple 'Touch to Take' technology, where stock levels are managed simply by pressing the 'Take' button for each item taken, and the 'Return' button for each item that is placed back into storage. Using RF technology, each JITrBUD communicates with a hub system, which records the stock levels and allows staff to regularly access reports to monitor stock usage. The JITrBUD system with it's patented technology can be used as a standalone solution or combined with automated stations such as the SupplyStation® as part of a hybrid system. It is the perfect tool for automating the supply chain of lower value goods, or goods that are too bulky to be stored in a closed system. JITrBUD’s are attached to each box, tray or shelf containing the line items that require automating.
Ability to combine the JITrBUD into a hybrid solution.
Can work within a range of 23 metres from the main hub.
Allows for just in time stock control.
Can be used with or without logging in at a terminal.
Provides a measurable and continuous return on investment.

FancyFind FancyFind guides users to an item using sequential flashing of LED lights. It is designed to help staff locate supplies that are stored in a SupplyStationTM, or any connected auxiliary towers. It works by initially lighting up the whole station or tower that the sought after supplies are stored in, to direct the user to the correct system. Then the lights at the correct door will flash, and finally the specific item location.

Benefits: Where power and network points are not easily accessible, the StockStationTM Mobile provides an innovative solution.
Advanced barcode administration at point of care which provides reporting on the final stage before the patient is given certain supplies.
StockStationTM Mobile The StockStationTM Mobile is a convenient, space efficient way of managing supplies using a barcode scanning solution in areas such as Theatres, or environments where workflow is slightly more complicated. The system provides all the benefits of a static StockStation™ with the additional benefit that it can be wheeled where needed, making it the ideal solution for locations where there are space constraints. Supplies are scanned at point of use with the StockStationTM Mobile which is ideal in Theatres where the exact item required may not be known until during a procedure.

Procedure Upgrade The ProcedureStation™ is a software upgrade to the Pyxis® solutions and is particularly useful in theatres and cath labs. It has a number of beneficial functionalities not limited to providing accurate reporting of procedure level costing, Surgeon or physician cost reports, and creates picking lists for each procedure. The picking lists are set up in the system, so if a user types in a specific procedure, it will bring up a list of equipment required for this procedure, its total cost and the total cost of the particular patient to date. This type of information can be used to help plan theatre schedules more efficiently or used as a tool to enable standardisation of items used within the department.
Benefits: The ProcedureStationTM can identify a procedural, Surgeon, Theatre and patient level costing.
The ProcedureStationTM has the simplest returns procedure available by using our patented ‘Take’ and ‘Return’ buttons, helping to ensure staff compliance and accurate data.
‘Anchor Mode’ can be used on the ProcedureStationTM. This means that a user can log in and select a patient, and the system will stay logged in at the patient’s record. This is particularly useful in operating theatres as adding to a patient record during an operation will be quick and simple.
Some sites have reported a 19% reduction in the cost of supplies in the operating room, since installing the ProcedureStationTM.
The ProcedureStationTM interfaces with hospital registrie’s, patient costing and materials management for real-time accurate reports.
-5%
Costs per procedure are reduced by an average of 5% through using Pyxis® Cost per Procedure systems.

Interfacing Options: Pyxis can interface to many departments and systems.
Interface & Integrate Pyxis® systems are designed to interface seamlessly with different departments and systems within the hospital. All Pyxis® systems can interface with each other and all transactions can be tracked and reported on. Interfacing between Pyxis® and your existing systems is extremely flexible and whilst generally using HL7 messaging, most interface solutions can be provided.
Examples include, but are not exclusive to, the following:
• Materials management
• Finance
• Operation room information systems
• Patient administration systems (ADT admissions, discharges, transfers)
• Direct to procurement or suppliers
All Pyxis® systems can integrate with different departments and systems within a hospital.
