VeriLinkRx® for Narcotic / Drug Diversion Testing
Drug diversion testing is needed as approximately 15% of healthcare professionals struggle with drug dependence at some point in their career contributing to the drug diversion problem.
- Testing narcotics returned to the hospital pharmacy with the VeriLinkRx® alerts staff to tampered or sub-therapeutic dosage levels.
- The VeriLinkRx® can be used for possible drug diversion testing for dilutions or substitutions in Morphine, Hydromorphone, Oxycodone, Fentanyl, and other narcotics.
- Cadeia existente padrão de medidas de controle de custódia como varredura biométrica, trilhas de auditoria, senhas e documentação de testemunhas não são suficientes para garantir que os narcóticos são devolvidos à farmácia do hospital sem adulteração e não diluído.
- An analytical method, like Rudolph’s VeriLinkRx® , is a reliable and cost effective solution to verify that the actual narcotic is returned to the hospital pharmacy.
- Teste de laboratório terceirizado é muito lento e caro para testar os narcóticos devolvidos que são administrados diariamente.

Hand held refractometers are performance limited because their inexpensive components drift and fluctuate with temperature and sample conditions. Hand held refractometers work fine to differentiate between a 10° and 11° Brix food product, but they do not have the refractive index accuracy and temperature control stability to distinguish the Refractive Index difference between substances such as Fentanyl and water.
The VeriLinkRx® was developed by Rudolph using technology predicated on rigorous pharmaceutical standards such as USP<831>. To meet the verifiable ± 0.000005 reproducibility the VeriLinkRx® has a highly stable measurement and temperature control system allowing the VeriLinkRx® to stabilize the sample temperature to 20°C ± 0.01°C , before measurement thereby eliminating measurement and temperature errors. The operating system and graphical user interface are designed using strict pharmaceutical compliance criteria. Although Rudolph is relatively new to hospital pharmacies, it has a 60 year history supplying instruments for pharmaceutical quality control.
An affordable, in-house, Drug Diversion Testing system to monitor returned samples
The VeriLinkRx® offers a practical solution to monitor samples of narcotics returned to the hospital pharmacy. An easy to perform and fast measurement will alert staff that the returned sample does not match what was dispensed originally. Using a highly accurate refractive index measurement, pharmacy staff can be quickly alerted to possible incidences of drug diversion or tampering. Once alerted management can decide if further 3rd party testing should be pursued. The VeriLinkRx® thus offers hospitals a method to monitor not only the physical vials of dispensed narcotics but the actual contents.
