Tis the Season for Wall Mounted Medication Cabinets


Well, this is the season for many more things than just medication boxes but we just completed a new website which features JUST our medication boxes.

Cygnus has been creating wall mounted metal and wood medication cabinets for over 20 years. Our new wood medications cabinets are equally as secure and functional as our metal cabinets.

Our cabinets have several lock options available; standard key, push button, electronic push button and our network IP-based lock system with full audit trail.

We have standard models on the site but we do offer custom configurations if you don't see a medication box that meets your needs. Our design team can create the absolute perfect solution for your situation.

Cygnus NetLock Gains Traction


Our new Netlock, LAN-based, power over ethernet locking system is gaining significant traction in the industry. The word is out that we have THE solution to keep medications secure and auditable.

Another cool feature of the lock is that the lock combinations are controlled through a central database. The caregiver uses the same card as they "clock in" with and that they use to gain access to other areas of the facility. Now all the systems can be accessed using the same card. No more forgotten combinations or lost keys to access medications.

When the caregiver holds their card up to the medication box, the card reader records the user data and verifies permissions. If the caregiver has been authorized, the entry is recorded and sent to the administrator. If the caregiver does NOT have authorization, the attempted entry is also recorded and sent to the administrator. Now a facility can see who is trying to get into areas where they do not belong.

Check out more information about the NetLock. http://www.cygnusinc.net/products/network_lock.html
