Abstract
An infeed loop apparatus for verification and routing of pre-labeled medication containers is disclosed. The infeed loop apparatus includes a feed transport mechanism, a diverter transport mechanism, and an output transport mechanism. The infeed loop apparatus verifies that patient information located on a medication container matches patient information located in a fulfillment database. When the patient information is a match, the medication container is routed to the output transport mechanism. If the patient information is not a match, the medication container is routed to the diverter transport mechanism, where the inconsistency may be corrected or the medication container may be disposed.
