Pill counting is usually a quick three-step process that takes only seconds as pills are virtually counted as fast as you can pour them. The counting feature is fast, safe, accurate and easy-to-use.

Verification:
The NDC verification features eliminates potential errors in prescription filling. It ensures that the correct prescription is counted and filled. The feature allows the user to compare two NDC codes and check for a match. The Rx label barcode can be compared to the stock bottle barcode.

No Cross-Contamination:
When counting with a TORBAL, the pills never come in contact with any mechanical parts of the unit. This eliminates both cross-contamination and the need to clean between counts.
