Efficient Management
The CSI-360 can help you efficiently handle controlled substances within your facility, optimizing workflow and reducing administrative burdens.
The use of controlled substances in the laboratory animal research facility is strictly regulated. Laboratory and veterinary staff who store and utilize controlled substances at their facilities must comply with all applicable State and Federal laws and regulations. Authorized agents are directly responsible for the storage and security and of all controlled substances on site, and they find it increasingly difficult to manage the process effectively, which includes maintaining accurate and detailed inventory records to ensure compliance.
The UID Controlled Substance Inventory System (CSI-360) was specifically designed to improve security, ensure compliance and facilitate the management of controlled substances. Our solution focuses on diversion control, where other systems merely dispense the drugs. The CSI-360 combines a two-part authentication process, novel software and RFID tracking technology to provide secure access and 100% accurate recording of all controlled substance use in the animal research facility. All records are captured electronically for a precise account of all cabinet access and activity, saving time and eliminating data entry errors.
The CSI-360 provides enhanced security features and paperless recording for efficient inventory management of controlled substances and other valuable items in the lab animal research facility.

System Specifications
Compatible with all cabinets, safes, refrigerators, and freezers from most manufacturers
Our solution is designed to integrate with existing narcotics lock boxes to eliminate the painful process of DEA recertification. We provide an electronic locking mechanism, RFID technology for secure user access and asset identification (fob, key card or wrist band; RFID scanner and labels), a digital scale for precise measurements, a Windows Surface computer and inventory management software to enable efficient tracking and recordkeeping for controlled substances.
Simple Process. Easy to Use.
Each item or drug container is labeled with an RFID tag which the user scans to record key information about the item. For assets such as controlled drugs, the process of recording drug use is controlled by scanning the RFID labels and either weighing the container, or manually entering the amount used. All records are captured electronically to ensure 100% accuracy of drug inventory, as well as to facilitate documentation and reporting. Extra security access is implemented by combining lock or key access with RFID user badges with pictures and PIN codes, which ensure 100% accurate entry/exit recording.
1. Label asset and user
2. Secure login with two-factor validation
3. Remove, scan and weigh the item
4. Record notes
5. Use item and weigh to record used amount
6. Return item and close door
Paperless Recording and Easy Access to Inventory Reports
Most research facilities store controlled substances in a combination-lock safe or cabinet with a one- or two-key security system in place that can only be accessed by authorized personnel. The use and record-keeping process relies entirely on manual data entry, which is labor-intensive and susceptible to miscalculations and human errors. The CSI-360 provides enhanced security features and paperless recording to facilitate the inventory management process for controlled substances. Our solution provides automatic inventory tracking capabilities, eliminates manual data entry errors and reduces the amount of time and labor needed for tracking DEA logs, inventory logs and supplies. Reports for all cabinet activity, such as user access, drug amount or volume used, or times of access, are all easily retrievable and readily available for DEA audits or other needs.
Managing Controlled Substances doesn’t have to be a daunting task!
