Founded in 1967 and exclusively devoted to the needs of the compounding pharmacist, at IMI creating products for the compounding pharmacist is our sole focus. As a result, our customers experience the quality, service, and value that only a specialized partner can offer. Through our partnerships with compounding professionals, we continue to advance our devices to serve the healthcare community. IMI’s customer-focused ethos and superior engineering capabilities allow us to be responsive to the needs of our partners and customers. Our capabilities and highly trained teams are the reasons we have remained the industry standard for tamper evident cap technology and how we continue to deliver customer-focused products to enhance pharmacy productivity, safety and security. All IMI products are manufactured in the United States at our FDA-registered, ISO 13485–certified facility under the strictest quality standards.
Compounded preparations are at their greatest risk when they leave the custody of your pharmacy. The benefits of tamper-evident products to address this risk have been recognized within the standards and guidelines of multiple influential organizations including the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists and the FDA. USP <797> Guidelines advocate “the use of tamper-evident closures and seals on CSP ports can add an additional measure of security to ensure product integrity regardless of the transport method used.”
Tamper Evident products increase overall accountability in the chain of custody of mediation, maintain sterility, prevent leakage, ensure patients receive the full intended dose and reduce the risk of contamination. Experts agree that the use of tamper evident products increases the confidence of pharmacies, health care workers, and patients.
IMI’s Prep-Lock™ Line of products provide high-value, high-quality, tamper-evident closures devices for a variety of drug delivery containers, including IV, Enteral, & Oral Syringes, Medication Cassettes, and IV Bags. Hospitals that partner with an outsource compounder, may already be familiar with Prep-Lock Tamper Evident Caps for IV Syringes. Over 85% of the top 503B compounding facilities trust IMI Tamper Evident Caps to secure their preparations. Incorporating these caps for in-house preparations can provide standardization of all syringes throughout the hospital. As a result, clinicians will not need training for administering syringes with multiple tamper evident methods. Tamper Evident Caps help to ensure the integrity of your compounds by providing a visual indication of tampering, misuse, or access. Installation and administration are highly efficient. Each sterile tray of 10 includes a unique keyed feature that allows the pharmacist to install a cap with a simple twist of the syringe; helping to reduce the risk of touch contamination and enhance aseptic technique. To administer, simply pull off the outer sleeve of the tamper evident cap and unscrew the remaining luer lock cap. Clinicians and pharmacists appreciate not having to deal with sticky tapes or frustrating shrink wrap. Tamper-Evident Caps represent a convenient and comparatively low-cost risk mitigation mechanism for pharmacies and health systems.
IMI’s Prep-Seal brand of products includes high-quality, American made caps and plugs for lure lock, luer slip and NRFit® devices. From their distinctive tray of 10 design that enhances aseptic technique to the unique color options, IMI works closely with their partners and industry professionals to continuously advance their devices to meet the needs of compounding pharmacists around the world.
