Carousel Technology
 

While the language for robotics includes removal for subsequent stocking of pharmacies, the language for carousels appears to reference only product removed for stocking of ADU or patient specific medications within a single facility.  Would recommend that carousel technology also be recognized as a technology that could be used in a centralized warehouse model to provide medications that are packaged by ADU for subsequent filling at a spoke facility without subsequent pharmacist check if standards contained within carousel technology regulation are met (BCMA, etc).  Thank you,.
