Medi-Dose/EPS

For more than 40 years, the Medi-Dose System has been used by facilities of all sizes to package solid oral, unit-dose medications. With input from pharmacists and technicians, Medi-Dose has been designed to be the easiest, fastest and most cost-effective way to unit-dose and barcode your inventory.

Medi-Dose began in 1971, when Milton Braverman, a former pharmaceutical company territory manager, formed his own company. Robert Braverman, President and Director of Marketing, remembers, “My dad was acutely aware of the requirements of hospital pharmacy. He saw the need for inexpensive, manual unit-dose packaging allowing hospitals to convert from traditional dispensing. He developed systems to package, handle and dispense predetermined amounts of medication so they would be accessible for one regular dose.”

Although familiar today, launching the idea of unit dose was a huge problem the new company faced. “We were one of the pioneers, the innovators promoting unit dose in hospitals,” Robert Braverman recalled. “Due in part to Medi-Dose’s educational efforts, pharmacists and nurses accepted the validity of unit dose.”

Inexpensive, Easy and Flexible: Because of its unique Cold-Seal technology, the Medi-Dose System is simple to use and requires no special in-service training or additional space. Medi-Cup blisters are available in a variety of sizes and styles to accommodate virtually any medication or storage system. Ultraviolet-inhibitant blisters provide additional protection from light. Plus, a combination of special blister plastics with aggressive tamper-evident label adhesives provides either six-month or one-year beyond-use dating for all your unit-dose packaging needs.

• Sealed units can be left in sheets or easily torn down to individual doses.
• Medi-Cup Blisters are available in five sizes to accommodate the largest medications or the smallest storage spaces.
• Lid-Label Covers are available in 8¹/₂″ × 11″ laser sheets of 25 doses or 4″ × 6¹/₄″ direct thermal sheets of five doses.
• Laser Lid-Label Cover Sheets are available in 12 colors to facilitate color coding of medications.
• New Oval Blisters and Lid-Label Covers have been designed to fit your dispensing machines and storage cabinets.
• All Medi-Cup Blisters and Lid-Label Covers work with our MILT 4 Software, which can be used for all your barcoding and labeling needs.

Using our MILT 4 software, you can label and identify all your medication, complete with graphics and a barcode.

Adapts to Your Needs: With our new 64 bit–compatible MILT 4 software, you can design your labels any way you want (for solids, liquids, syringes, ampules, IVs—even equipment and supplies). In addition to the ability to use graphics, special fonts, tall man lettering, shapes—even logos and symbols—to better identify your medications, MILT 4 has been designed to easily create barcodes with the information that your barcode-enabled point-of-care and barcode medication administration systems require. Popular 1-D and 2-D barcode formats can be created with National Drug Code numbers, expiration dates, lot numbers and special codes.
