KL1 Tablet Counter

Overview

Capsa Healthcare’s KL1 is the pharmacy industry’s smallest, simplest, and fastest tablet counter. The KL1, part of our Kirby Lester line of pharmacy automation, is so compact it fits into even the most crowded pharmacy and narcotics vault. Trusted across the globe, the unique KL1 counts almost any tablet or capsule quickly, conveniently and accurately. Ideal for narcotics management and physical inventory counting, and superior in every way to any other counting device for 90-day fills.

The KL1 is designed for:

  • Prescription counting
