Aisle OVERVIEW

Multi-dose medication packaging is a method of organizing and packaging multiple doses of medications together, typically for a specific time frame or schedule, to simplify administration and improve medication adherence. Each package contains multiple doses, often arranged according to the times and days they are to be taken. Multi-dose medication packaging is especially beneficial for patients managing multiple medications, offering an organized, safe, convenient, and efficient approach to medication administration.

Class II Pharmacy Scale and Pill Counters from Health Care Logistics are made with the highest quality engineering processes to guarantee fast and accurate results that simplify your prescription filling and weighing routine. A small footprint makes them ideal for locations with limited counter space.

Each unit features Advanced Pill Counting Accuracy, which adjusts for pill weight variations to provide maximum accuracy when filling prescriptions. Pill fragment detection recognizes possible pill fragments or chipped pills for the best performance and results.

HCL has internal calibrating scales that save users time and ensure accuracy. These scales calibrate automatically at startup, every two hours or with the change of temperature, as determined by the user. Economical external calibrating scales are also available, and require manual calibration using an appropriate weight.

A built-in draft ring helps deflect common air movements. We also offer an optional draft shield for areas where sizeable drafts from fans, heaters or ventilation systems are likely to occur.

Units include software that allows users to transmit data digitally to a PC. Use this information for record keeping, inventory control and pharmacy management.

Improve accuracy and efficiency with our user-friendly line of pharmacy scales and pill counters. Call our friendly staff or visit us online at gohcl.com to learn more!

ADHERENCE PACKAGING—Heat Seal & Cold Seal monthly or weekly Multi-Dose pill card packaging is designed for Assisted Living Facilities, Group Homes, and retail customers. Our Tri-Fold pill cards make it easy for the caregiver or patient to quickly identify any missed doses due to our tamper-evident package laid out in a 6” x 9” format. The Tri-Fold opens like a book and allows for ample label space to identify each drug while viewing the label at the same time. Single or Unit Dose options are available.

SEALING EQUIPMENT—Adherence Packaging is available in Cold Seal and Heat Seal. Pharmacies packaging over 300 Multi-Dose cards per month should consider converting to Heat Seal, which significantly decreases your packaging cost and provides an air-tight seal. The ROI on our entry-level AutoOpen Heat Seal press is ~1 year. Higher volume pharmacies will want to consider the AutoSealer. Providing a 3-second seal time, the AutoSealer doesn’t put off any heat, can seal ½” or ¾” depth pill cards without any conversion process, and has a lifespan of 15+ years.
