Company Background AmerisourceBergen Technology Group (ABTG) is a business of AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation and has been a leader in the pharmacy automation industry for nearly 20 years. From small community pharmacies dispensing a few dozen prescriptions per shift to multi-facility health systems supporting thousands of lives, ABTG has technology solutions that will help increase patient safety, streamline medication management processes and control costs. The ultimate goal is to provide our business partners with safer and smarter ways to care for their patients, customers and communities. Product Overview The FastFill 54 is the latest extension of the popular FastFill line of vial-filling solutions from ABTG. This compact solution utilizes directfill technology via dedicated chutes to dispense oral solid medications accurately, securely and efficiently. Occupying less than five square feet, the FastFill 54 is the most compact device of its kind and ideal for pharmacies with limited floor space. It is designed for pharmacies with lower volumes that can benefit from vial-filling automation but do not require more robotic solutions. Features & Options Accurate – The FastFill 54 utilizes 54 factory-calibrated, 900cc canisters that dispense medications at an accuracy rate of greater than 99.99%. Compact – At only 12 inches deep and less than five feet wide, the FastFill 54 delivers a tremendous amount of productivity in a minimal amount of physical space. Compatible – Because medications are dispensed via 54 lockable chutes, the device is compatible with all vial types and sizes. In addition, the FastFill 54 can be interfaced with virtually any pharmacy information system. Expandable – While the FastFill 54 is designed for lower-volume pharmacies, it is expandable – meaning up to five units can be connected to accommodate a growing operation.
