Becton, Dickinson and Company has launched its BD Pyxis Pro Dispensing Solution and BD Incada Connected Care Platform in Europe, extending its medication management systems with AI-based analytics and automation. The rollout builds on existing deployments in the United States and targets hospitals and health systems across the region, according to the company’s announcement.
The Pyxis Pro system is a medication dispensing unit used at the point of care. It supports refrigerated and ambient medications and uses a modular, stackable design to increase storage capacity within the same footprint. The system includes RFID badge access, barcode scanning, and illuminated storage bins for medication retrieval.
BD’s Pyxis systems trace back to dispensing technology developed in the 1990s and later incorporated into CareFusion. BD acquired CareFusion for $12.2 billion in 2015, forming the basis of its current Pyxis platform, which the company is now extending with analytics and connected system capabilities.
