Capsa Healthcare Makes Kirby Lester KL1v Tablet Counter Available Online

Capsa Healthcare recently announced the online availability of its Kirby Lester KL1v tablet counter through Capsa Connect. This new offering allows pharmacies to buy the KL1v directly, streamlining the often lengthy purchasing process. As an incentive, pharmacies can now enjoy a 25% discount off the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) when they use the code KL25PR, valid through December 31, 2026.

One of the standout features of the KL1v is its impressive counting capability, managing up to 15 tablets or capsules each second. This speed significantly enhances productivity, allowing pharmacy technicians to shift their focus back to more critical tasks that require their expertise. The counter can accurately assess nearly all shapes of tablets and capsules without any need for prior calibration. Additionally, the KL1v is designed with a compact footprint, making it highly suitable for pharmacy counters, effectively utilizing space without contributing to clutter.

Huan K. Nguyen, the Vice President of Pharmacy Automation at Capsa Healthcare, emphasized the simplicity of the KL1v’s purchasing process stating, "Pharmacy teams have enough on their plate. Buying a counter should be as simple as using one." With this new online feature, pharmacies can skip the traditional sales cycle and transition from checkout to operation seamlessly, making it an ideal time to bolster their inventory at the fill station.

Aside from its primary counting function, the KL1v includes several useful modes:

• - Inventory mode for conducting physical inventory and stock bottle counts.
• - Special mode tailored for unusual pill shapes and gel caps.
• - Vial size indicator, which recommends ideal vial sizing in drams based on the pour amount.
• - A premium Quiet Count tray designed to reduce sound disruption while counting.
• - A new graphic user interface featuring adjustable volumes and sounds to enhance user interaction.

For over 55 years, Kirby Lester pill counters have been synonymous with pharmacy automation in North America. The KL1v was introduced in January 2025, marking the latest iteration of the Kirby Lester series. Beyond regular retail usage, the KL1v is also being employed in various pharmacy settings such as hospital outpatient care, long-term facilities, specialty pharmacies, veterinary practices, and for inspecting automated dispensing systems, in addition to routine inventory checks.

To take advantage of this new offering, pharmacies can place their orders through Capsa Connect and apply the provided discount code at checkout. For larger transactions or multiple location purchases, pharmacies are encouraged to request a quote via Capsa Healthcare’s website.
