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. He was acutely aware of the requirements of hospital pharmacy. His sons, Robert and Mark, continue the tradition for The Medi-Dose Group. Robert, Director of Marketing, remembered, "My dad saw the need for inexpensive, manual unit dose packaging that would allow a hospital to convert from traditional dispensing. He developed a system to package, handle and dispense predetermined amounts of medication so they would be accessible for one regular dose… and along the way, he became the personification of the ‘American Dream’ ”.

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!
Medi-Dose Information labeling Technology

With bar coding becoming an ever-more-important aspect of pharmacy practice, Medi-Dose recently released its latest enhanced computer software… the new MILT® by Medi-Dose program (for Medi-Dose Information Labeling Technology and also named for the company’s founder). “My father”, relates Robert Braverman, “wanted bar coding on medication packaging early on to minimize the potential for medication error. So we’ve been constantly improving on our programs in order to better meet this vital pharmacy challenge and need.”

MILT® the dynamic new unit dose labeling software for the Medi-Dose® and EPS LiquidDose® packaging systems, offers innovative bar coding, increased security and enhanced medication identification awareness - all for a surprisingly affordable price. Using advanced technology, MILT® by Medi-Dose® makes it easy to achieve optimum accurate, protection and performance for all your solid and liquid unit dose syringe and ampule labeling needs.

Medical Packaging Inc. (MPI) is one of the leading manufacturers of unit-dose packaging solutions with over 35+ years of experience in providing packaging solutions to acute care and long-term care pharmacies, repackaging and specialty markets. MPI continually stays abreast of the ever-changing packaging needs of the pharmacist and develops the solutions that provide the latest technology and compliance to drug packaging guidelines. Additionally, MPI’s unit-dose packaging solutions are uniquely positioned to assist the long-term care (LTC) and extended care (EC) pharmacy in transitioning to the shorter cycle dispensing model recently mandated by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). This mandate, which was announced on November 22, 2010, will require the dispensing of medication in cycles of seven (7) days or less instead of the thirty (30) day model traditionally used in these care settings and will support nation-wide efforts to reduce medication waste.

MPI’s suite of pharmacy packaging solutions include state-of-the-art, affordable packaging systems to meet the bar coding, unit dose, and packaging needs of every type of pharmacy. MPI offers packaging solutions for oral solids, liquids, overwrapping and labeling systems, which are available either on an individual basis, a multi-product basis, or as a total solution dependent on the specific packaging requirements of each pharmacy. Coupled with MPI’s exclusive Pak-EDGE™ UD Barcode Labeling Software with access to First DataBank™ drug image and database library, MPI’s pharmacy packaging solutions assist pharmacies with Bedside Point of Care (BPOC) and Bar Coded Medication Administration (BCMA) initiatives.

MPI offers three (3) types of packaging solutions for oral solids. The Auto-Print™ II, which packages sixty (60) packages per minute (ppm), and the Auto-Print™ Express 90, which packages ninety (90) packages per minute (ppm), can produce either a 2” standard or 1.5” custom unit dose package, and the Auto-Print™ Punch Cut Machine (PCM), which produces a 2.5” unit dose package, packages thirty (30) packages per minute (ppm) and features a punched hole in the upper half of the package for use in conjunction with centralized, robotic systems. MPI’s oral solid packaging systems can also be customized to accommodate canister technology available with fully automated packaging solutions utilizing canister technology.

MPI’s offers the Fluidose™ Series 5 packaging solution for oral liquids providing the capability to package bulk liquid medication to unit dose. This high quality, affordable bar coding packaging system for oral liquids allows a pharmacy to increase their packaging speed to up to fifteen (15) packages per minute (ppm) and is offered with two (2) filling options, either the Syringe Pump or optional Baxa® pump to provide a single, bar coded liquid unit dose package to the bedside. An automatic low fluid detection feature is built into the machine controls which pauses liquid packaging when fluid level reaches a level preset by the pharmacy technician. Built-in purge feature cancels the bar code label and automatically clears the system for the next packaging job.

For your ancillary packaging needs, MPI offers two (2) types of overwrapping systems, the Auto-Print™ Bagging System and the Auto-Print™ Max Bagger for Robot Ready packaging, and the Pharmacy Accessory Label Printer labeling system to provide any pharmacy with the appropriate packaging or labeling solution for their parenteral medications.
