EQUASHIELD Safety Platform
Find your way around the platform.
Three intelligent technologies, one platform. EQUASHIELD’s closed-system transfer devices (CSTD), Mundus Prep, an intelligent IV workflow, and the Mundus HD automated compounding system work together to protect the healthcare staff and the patients from order to dispense.
The Mundus HD is a tabletop automated compounder that manages the full compounding workflow and verifies every dose for accuracy within the 4′ biosafety cabinet you already operate.
The #1 most-used closed-system transfer device in US pharmacies for 8 years running. A fully closed fluid path that prevents hazardous-drug leaks, vapor, and exposure. The CSTD is the protective foundation upon which the entire platform is built.
The IV Workflow that powers every preparation: an EQUASHIELD managed Drug Knowledgebase, order management, step by step kitting process, EMR integration, and remote pharmacist verification from order to dispense.
The problemS
Every hazardous drug dose prepared by hand carries the risk of exposure, error, and added strain on pharmacy teams already stretched thin. Industry data places the average manual compounding error rate at nearly 9%. Your pharmacists and technicians deserve a safer way to work, and your patients deserve the right dose every time.
Average error rate in manual compounding (ISMP, 5 US hospitals).
Pharmacy technicians spend most of a compounding shift on hand-intensive tasks — 87% of it, in one study of chemotherapy compounding (MacDonald & Keir, IISE Trans Occup Ergon Hum Factors, 2018) with enough sustained thumb force and too little rest to put them at elevated risk of musculoskeletal injury.
Health systems are short exactly the people who compound. In ASHP’s technician shortage survey, 84% of pharmacy administrators reported a severe shortage of technicians with sterile compounding experience, and inpatient technician vacancy rates averaged 22.2%. Replacing one is estimated at $25,000 to $35,000 (ASHP, 2024).
Why pharmacies choose the platform
A flexible business model with no long-term commitment, making it easy to get started and scale at your own pace.
Built on the #1 most-used CSTD in US pharmacies for 8 years running. A fully closed fluid path is native to the platform.
Recover the pharmacy and tech hours lost to manual compounding, and the hazardous drug spend wasted on discontinued orders and overfill. You get more capacity at lower cost, without adding staff.
Bringing the proven excellence of our customer support to automated compounding of hazardous drugs.
The evidence
The workflow
Orders flow directly from your EMR through bidirectional HL7 or can be entered manually into a smart, prioritized queue.
The Mundus HD performs every fluid transfer with high precision and verifies each step through image capture and analysis within your existing biosafety cabinet.
Review and approval can be completed on site or remotely with a complete visual record of every preparation.
Every dose is accompanied by a complete, traceable record with status visible throughout the system.
