PACMED™
The PACMED™ high-speed packager automates bar-code packaging of oral solid medications, improves packaging accuracy and pharmacy workflow efficiencies, and facilitates the transition to scanning bar-coded medications at the patient's bedside.

Key Benefits

  • Shrinks cabinet fill time by 70%(1).
  • Reduces oral solids packaging labor by 65%(1).
  • Reduces medication costs through bulk buying.
  • The ROBOT-Ready™ model:
    • Increases ROBOT-Rx® system packaging productivity by 300%.
    • Optimizes ROBOT-Rx inventory by reducing offline inventory.
    • Facilitates the pharmacist check via the Drug Image Library.

Automated packaging uses significantly less labor, optimizes inventory levels, and enables bulk medication buying. The intelligent PACMED packager works virtually unattended to fulfill orders electronically, replenishing for carts, cabinets, pharmacy stock and multiple sites.

The PACMED packager automatically tracks medications by lot numbers and expiration dates, ensures refilling and perpetual inventory through bar-code verification, and standardizes bar-code formats to facilitate bedside scanning.

It also is highly scalable, accommodating from 100 to 500 line items, flexible with three sizes of storage canisters and two sizes of packages with the ROBOT-Ready model.
