I would recommend the Rx-4 to any doctor’s office who dispenses medication on a daily basis. Pill counting by hand on a daily basis is a time drain and resource drain. Now with the Rx-4. Hundreds of pills can be counted in a few short minutes, and the convenient trays to dispense into a standard pill bottle is also helpful. The Rx-4 is dependable, often just needing a dusting wipe to remain at top performance. The Rx-4 counts tabs and capsules quickly, it is easy to use, easy to clean, and lends a high degree of professionalism to our medication room. The patients are always impressed how quickly and accurately we can dispense bottles of medication for multiple months in a few short minutes. The unit is also fairly compact, allowing us to maximize space.

Jeff, Direct Primary Care Physician, Ann Arbor, MI

We purchased an RX-4 pill counting machine many years ago for our inventory specialists to help speed up our inventory control process. We loved it so much that we purchased a second unit for our nursing staff to use to aid in better accuracy when dispensing medications. The RX-4 is extremely easy to use and provides accurate counts when used as instructed. There is minimal maintenance required and very little that can go wrong with the unit. Over the years, one unit seemed to be having some issues moving the counting plate around, I called RX count and they were immediately able to diagnose the issue and promptly sent out the parts needed for repair. The parts arrived within a couple days and switching them out was extremely simple and only took a few minutes. I had comfort in performing these repairs knowing that a fabulous support system was just a phone call away. I highly recommend the RX-4 to anyone looking for a reliable, simple to use medication counting machine. It will provide you with many years of accurate counts and minimal maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Every Rx-4 comes with a 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee. If the Rx-4 does not satisfy your needs within the first 30 days from the date of delivery, simply return it to us for a full refund.

The Rx-4 uses a rotating turntable and an automatic gate to feed pills through an optical infrared sensing array.  This allows for fast, accurate, hands-free counting.

Listed accuracy is 99.97%, but when used as described in the included Operator’s Manual, the Rx-4 is designed to simply not miscount.

The Rx-4 will count round, aspirin-size tablets at a rate of approximately 500 per minute, and will count large capsules at approximately 350 per minute.  Even at its slowest speed, The Rx-4 is still faster and more accurate than hand-counting.

No – the Rx-4 is not a measuring device (like a pharmacy scale) so it cannot partially work.  Therefore, it requires no calibration.

The Rx-4 is capable of counting about 95% of available medications.  It can count tablets, capsules, and softgels in sizes up to 1/2″ (13mm) in diameter and 1″ (26mm) in length.  With the optional Large Pill Sensor Cover, it can count pills up to 3/4″ in diameter.  It can count any pill as small as 3mm.

The Rx-4’s capacity varies based on the size of the tablet or capsule being counted, but the approximate capacity of the disc surface is 300 pills.  However, the Rx-4’s open design enables the user to continuously pour pills onto the turntable as they are being counted and dispensed.

That depends. Semi-rounded, symmetrically-shaped items like oblong beads and hex nuts can work quite well.  Asymmetrical items with sharp corners and/or odd shapes such as screws or flat-backed crystals do not.  Also, spherical, ball-shaped items do not behave properly on the turntable.  Feel free to contact us if you want to send in some samples to test.

The Large Pill Sensor Cover is for counting tablets with a diameter over 1/2 inch. Typically, this applies to larger pills, specifically certain animal medications. Large capsules up to 1 inch in length do not require the Large Pill Sensor Cover.

How The Rx-4 Tablet & Capsule Counter Works

It’s simple. Place any quantity of tablets or capsules on the Rx-4’s turntable disc surface, enter-in the counting mode and desired quantity on the keypad, press “Start” and let the Rx-4 Automatic Tablet & Capsule Counter do the rest.

Simply enter the quantity and the designated number of tablets or capsules is dispensed into the top collection drawer. When the drawer is removed, excess tablets or capsules on the disc surface are automatically deposited into the bottom drawer for return to inventory.

MULTIPLE MODE (MULTI)

INVENTORY MODE (INV)

Simply press the “Start” button and the Rx-4 will count all inventory on the turntable. This is particularly useful at month-end, or in instances where medical examiners or coroners need to inventory product left behind.
