The products of Rowa are intended for the management of medication and retrieval of pre-packaged pharmaceutical inventory.
The Rowa products secure and automate large volumes of medications and offer features such as refrigerated storage, a stock input and management system and a simple software user interface.
CareFusion chairman and CEO Kieran Gallahue said Rowa is the clear pharmacy automation leader in Western Europe with innovative technology that is complementary to their Pyxis portfolio of products.
"Combined, they can see an opportunity to provide customers outside the US with a complete medication management offering and accelerate their growth in the retail and hospital pharmacy automation segments," Gallahue said.
