Prep-Lock Tamper Evident Caps

Innovation in Secure Drug Delivery

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.

Prep-Lock Tamper Evident Caps are Available for:

• Luer Lock IV Syringes
• Oral Syringes
• CADD Medication Cassetes
• IV Bags
• ENFit® Syringes

Essential Additions to Drug Security Programs:

Prep-Lock™ Tamper Evident Caps for IV Syringes

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.

Prep-Lock Tamper Evident Caps featuring RFID

RFID technology enables real time scanning that optimizes inventory management, efficiency, and medication safety while creating quantifiable pharmaceutical supply chain benefits by providing item level inventory visibility down to NDC and lot. Recognizing the advantages that RFID technology presents in healthcare IMI joined industry consortium DoseID to help increase interoperability, quality and performance of RFID tagged Products. Tamper Evident Caps with RFID provide a labor-reducing solution to incorporating RFID into your drug doses. With a simple twist of a syringe, your CSPs are equipped with renowned tamper evident protection and powerful analytic automation capabilities. These two powerful technologies in combination enhance workflow efficiencies, eliminate time-consuming manual inventory control processes, provide assistance with growing regulatory demand, and supply a comprehensive strategy to prevent, detect, and resolve drug diversion events. In addition, by incorporating RFID technology into IMI’s Industry-leading Tamper Evident Caps, facilities can reduce their cost of RFID implementation by up to 55% with little time-to-live and minimal staff investment, procedural changes, or capital investment.

Prep-Lock Tamper Evident Additive Port Cap

The Tamper Evident Additive Port Cap provides remarkable protection, and protocol assurance to the medication ports of Baxter, B.Braun, and Fresenius Kabi IV Bags. The simply one-handed installation and considerable contributions to the integrity of IV Compounds have gained acclaim with pharmacists and healthcare professionals. “I find their products to be the best on the market in terms of the device itself, the functionality, and the securement,” says Neil Colby RPh, Director of Infusion Pharmacy Services CDRX Infusion. These products extend the intention of USP <797> from pharmacy to patient by providing last mile security that strengthens pharmacist and HCP confidence and reduces risk of contamination and diversion.

Opioid Stewardship and Diversion Prevention

Proper disposal of expired and unused drugs is one of the biggest liabilities facing healthcare facilities today. Environmentally safe, effective, drug disposal methods are critical.

Health Care Logistics® offers sharps containers in multiple sizes and styles with features including dual openings, locking lids, and color coding for at-a-glance content identification. Minimize the risk for diversion with options designed for superior performance.

As a best practice, the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) recommends labeling opioid prescriptions for patient awareness and safety. Easily improve existing procedures by labeling opioid drugs with preprinted warning labels from HCL®.

To further enhance patient safety, ISMP also recommends using preprinted labels to identify patients who have previously been given opioid drugs as Opioid Tolerant and those who have not been exposed to opioids as Opioid Naïve. HCL offers several options to achieve these goals.

When it’s time to dispose of unused or expired medication, HCL offers two proven drug disposal systems. Deterra® and Rx Destroyer™ safely render prescription drugs irretrievable and to deter tampering and theft. Matching wall mounts are available to secure containers in a consistent location.

When IV drug administration is less than ideal, the MAD Nasal™ Drug Delivery Device is a painless tool that comes to the rescue quickly. This single-used device atomizes topical solutions to provide a quick, direct, needle-free dose of prescription medication. Its contoured tip fits comfortably inside adult and child nose and thanks to the soft plug that absorbs runoff, there’s no mess or risk for diversion after administration.

To organize high-risk drugs, choose from HCL’s full line of medication cassettes, with sizes, styles, and lock options to meet diversion mitigation initiatives. Sort, organize and store high-risk medication practically anywhere and make the most of available space.

Opioid addiction is a national crisis with no clear end in sight, but HCL is dedicated to helping its customers improve diversion best practices and achieve outstanding results.
