Anesthesia trays

Hello,

Due to space limitations, we use anesthesia trays instead of ADC in our procedural areas. We've been told there is no technological ability to use barcode scanning to fill these trays in the pharmacy to prevent errors with medications being placed in wrong slots.

1. Has anyone figured out a system to utilize barcode scanning?

2. If not, what other strategies have you found successful in preventing anesthesia tray misfills?

Thank you in advance.
Viktoriya
