UNGUATOR
®
Mixing System
A little experience will make it easy to prepare ointments though they may seem rather
complicated at first.
Using UNGUATOR ® Technology enables the pharmacy to better prepare prescription
ointments in a shorter period of time compared to the preparation methods that were
common until 1994. For the first time, it is possible to not only standardize ointments,
but validate them too.
1.2 UNGUATOR
®
Mixing Machines
The current UNGUATOR
®
mixing machines - the UNGUATOR
®
B/R, the UNGU-
ATOR
®
e/s and the UNGUATOR
®
2100 - are useful and advanced improvements on
the first UNGUATOR ® from 1994. They are designed for a working capacity of approx.
500 work hours which corresponds to approximately 15,000 to 20,000 prescriptions.
The UNGUATOR ® mixing machines feature a high safety standard and were tested by
TÜV-Rhineland for their safety. They are manufactured under license and maintained
by SMS Elap GmbH & Co. KG in Zella Mehlis (Germany).
Product quality, product uniformity and reproducibility of ointments prepared individually
and in batches were improved with the increasing automation of the UNGUATOR
®
units starting with the B/R through the e/s to the 2100.
