Or. Admin. Code § 855-139-0405 - Labeling: Prescription Reader Accessibility
(1) A pharmacy must notify each person to
whom a prescription drug is dispensed that a prescription reader is available
to the person upon request; a prescription reader is a device designed to
audibly convey labeling information.
(2) If a person informs the pharmacy that the
person identifies as a person who is blind, the pharmacy must provide to the
person a prescription reader that is available to the person for at least the
duration of the prescription, must confirm it is appropriate to address the
person's visual impairment, and must ensure that prescription labels are
compatible with the prescription reader. This requirement does not apply to an
institutional drug outlet, dispensing a drug intended for administration by a
healthcare provider.
(3) The
pharmacy must ensure an Oregon licensed Pharmacist verifies and documents that
the correct electronic label was placed on each prescription container and that
the audio information produced by the prescription reader is accurate prior to
dispensing the prescription.
