As your medication systems partner, our goal is to help you uncover business efficiencies and deliver care facility relationships that produce long-term growth opportunities and profitability.

Created by a Pharmacist for Pharmacists

OPUS Medication Systems were created by a pharmacist for pharmacists, giving you the flexibility to match your delivery to your customers’ needs. We provide delivery options in 7 ,14 and 31 day single-dose and multi-dose systems, all available under one brand.

Long-term Growth

With Rx Care Assurance, we can assist you in tracking and understanding the satisfaction of your care facility clients. And, we deliver the ongoing expertise and tools you need to ensure high levels of long-term satisfaction and profitability.

Accuracy

Accuracy and organization starts with the OPUS System. Easy-to-handle cassettes are divided into multiple, sealed airtight compartments. The tamper-evident cassettes are color-coded for time of administration and labeled according to dosing schedules and day of the week for increased accuracy. The cassettes are organized in bins, by resident, for easy identification and administration.

Ease of Administration

The OPUS system minimizes effort and stress on the care facility staff. In fact, the U.S. Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) recognizes two critical design features: (1) the airtight cassette is easier to manage than foil packets, because it doesn’t take strong finger force or a sharp object to release the pill, and (2) the low-profile cart with easy-open drawers reduces fatigue.

Short Cycle Solution - No More Lost Orders

Are you tired of managing errors in the reorder process? The OPUS system uses automatic reordering, saving time for both you and your clients. Being able to plan for scheduled reorders allows you to efficiently manage your staff and accomplish all tasks in a timely manner.

Increase Your Operational Efficiency

As an OPUS partner, your ability to provide facilities with improved efficiency and error control gives you a great competitive advantage. OPUS Medication Systems will improve workforce management and reduce labor. Maintaining the OPUS system requires less labor than conventional systems. And, the new OPUS EZ Fillers™ can help reduce fill time by over 90 percent. Simply place over an OPUS cassette and fill up to 14 doses in a second!

Versatile unit dose barcoded packaging for bulk medications and other unit dose forms

Unit dose barcode automation begins with PillPick Box Station. BoxStation is a workstation for preparing all medications for packaging, storage and dispensing. The secure interface, unlocking of tamper-resistant canisters, bar-code of manufacturer packaging, and radio frequency (RF) technology provide ultimate patient safety.

The operator places a canister (PillBox) into a recess on the top of the BoxStation and presses the OPEN button on the touch screen. This unlocks the tamper-resistant PillBox for the loading of medications. The medication information is entered either at the keyboard or by scanning a bar-code label on the original supplier’s container. The operator fills the PillBox and replaces the PillBox lid. The lid automatically locks and the medication information is written to the RF tag on the PillBox. The medication is now ready for automated packaging.

Features and Benefits of PillPick Box Station:

• Tamper-proof patented locking system on PillBoxes and PhialBoxes
• Medications are scanned to ensure match in the system
• RF tag on each PillBox/PhialBox gives accurate verification of contents
• Password protected access
• Bar-code scanning feature permits easy acquisition of supplier’s bulk medication data into PillPick database
• Simple touch screen provides intuitive operator interface

Unit Dose Solutions

The Medi-Dose® Group, known for its innovative solid and liquid oral unit dose packaging systems, has always had deep roots---family roots. This is not surprising since Medi-Dose began as a small family business. Medi-Dose was founded in 1971 when Milton Braverman, a former pharmaceutical company Territory Manager, formed his own company.

While developing Medi-Dose, we were often asked for other products. "Hey... why don't you have... ?" "Yo, I need... Can you get it for me?" So, we started EPS®, Inc. We were asked about liquid packaging to complement our solid oral systems. So, we developed TampAlerT®. We were asked about IV preparation. So we developed a line of IV additive disposable accessories. Filters? Yes! Tapes & Labels? Done! Trays, totes and bins? You got it! Bags? Absolutely! And that is how the EPS product line grew to what it is today.

Medication packaged and dispensed in syringes, ampules, tubing, suppositories and odd shaped bottles often pose unique labeling challenges for pharmacists and nurses. Conventionally shaped labels often prove inadequate for adhering to irregular shapes. Additionally, the same vital labeling that's placed on the medication being dispensed needs to be recorded on the original medication bottle or package as well as the patient record.

MILT® Makes It Easy!
