Aseptic Vial Processing from PennTech Machinery Corporation

PennTech manufactures advanced aseptic vial processing equipment that is uniquely engineered to outperform. A special emphasis is put on high quality, small scale, and efficient design principles.

No patient deserves a visitor like this. The days of manually washing vials has gone away and the purchasing of sterile vials can be cost prohibitive. Due to increased attention from regulatory agencies and the need for future compliance, there is a hyper-focus on the cleanliness and sterility of vials. More importantly, microorganisms and other contaminants can be disastrous or even deadly when injected into the bloodstream of a patient. Proper and thorough vial washing is critical to ensure the safety of patients. PennTech is a world leader of complete aseptic vial production lines. Specializing in low to medium speed machines, the focus is on simplicity, efficiency, and a compact footprint. Our machine design philosophy is “soft” rather than “hard”; servo motors rather than gears, belts, and chains. Our mottos are “Less is more” and “Smaller is better”. In doing so, we provide equipment that strictly adheres to cGMP guidelines with a very small footprint, making them easy to maintain and operate.

Company Background

DOSIS® products by Manchac Technologies are designed to enhance efficiencies in your pharmacy. Our initial product, the DOSIS L60 is the most accepted automation in the LTC market. Featuring deployments in 42 different states across the United States. DOSIS L60 is the cornerstone of single medication 28, 30, or 31-day blister card robotic solution. The DOSIS L60 is the only compact affordable robot that fills, seals, and patient labels blister cards. Led by Randall Murphy and Monroe Milton, Manchac was founded by veteran pharmacy automation engineers who are experienced in the design, development, manufacture, service, and support of pharmacy automation products. Manchac owns more than 100 years of collective industry experience within an ever-growing pharmacy market, serving long-term care and assisted living facilities.

Product Overview

DOSIS® L60 is a robotic solution for completely automating prescription filling, sealing, and patient labeling of 28, 30 or 31-day single medication blister cards (a.k.a. bingo-cards) in a physically compact enclosure. The L60 has the capability of filling a day supply into the card in any order. This solution offers unbounded value to pharmacies in need of higher prescription throughput without extra staffing. The L60 operates hands-free which allows your pharmacy staff to continue their work while DOSIS produces prescription labeled blister cards. DOSIS is the most cost-effective, fully automated prescription packaging of blister cards in the market. Blister cards, which typically hold a single medication 30-day supply, are preferred for use in long-term care facilities due to their ease of handling, inspecting, and administering to patients. Compliance starts with medication time pass labels, which provide ease of medication administration. DOSIS has the capacity to run continuously and unattended for up to eight hours, before restocking empty blisters.

To minimize impact to pharmacy floor plans, the unit is similar in size and shape to a vending machine or shallow refrigerator (26" L x 42" W x 78" H). An L60 can hold 60 unique medication canisters at a time, which allows for adding extra canisters in rotation based on your medication formulary needs. Each DOSIS canister has capacity of 1000cc. DOSIS is typically installed and operational in a single day, and makes an impact to the pharmacy’s card production in the first week. n Flexibility DOSIS improves your pharmacy’s flexibility to meet the needs of your customers. You can set dispensing parameters based on payer type, facility or prescription. With the ability to use the same automation for a variety of customers, you can now grow your business without the fear of outgrowing your automation. • No dedicated staffing need for DOSIS, it is simple to operate. • Typically only 45 minutes to one-hour of touch time per eight-hour shift to keep DOSIS producing. • Keep up with an increase in your prescription volume demand. • Eliminate overtime for filling cards. • DOSIS works while you are not with its ability to work after normal business hours. • Stop pre-packing cards, DOSIS does on-demand! • Allows for a remote on-call pharmacist to fulfill a prescription remotely, such that a prescription is ready upon their arrival. n Additional Products • DOSIS cTRAQ removes the guesswork from sorting all prescriptions: Get the right script to the right facility every time. cTRAQ monitors completed work versus work-inprocess, highlighting work to be completed. • DOSIS mPAQ Printing takes over label printing allowing optimal workflow: reducing waste and time spent chasing labels. Adjust label content for med-pass labels, auxiliary warnings or formatting based on facility and medication type. • DOSIS Consulting allows you to leverage our vast experience of pharmacy knowledge: Observe, analyze, and propose solid effective solutions.

The tests may include: Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, ultravioletvisible analysis, melting point, specific gravity, particle size analysis, solubility, chemical identifications, viscosity, pH, Brix, and refractive index. • Additional testing of APIs is done using actual formulations.

n 15 Checks and Analyses are Performed on Each Chemical Lot • Ten qualitative and quantitative analyses are performed on every incoming chemical lot before it is released for repacking or sale. • Each lot is tested against the certificate of analysis (C of A), including: USP, EP, NF, FCC, ACS, and PCCA standards. • After initial testing, all results are reviewed for accuracy by a second QC analyst. • Chemicals are tested only by degreed chemical analysts. • Five validation checks are made during each repack order, including: • Written and audited label control procedures. • Production audits performed by the QA department followed by a second identity test performed by QC department on repacked chemicals. n PCCA Rejects Almost 200 Chemical Lots Per Year • PCCA is fully registered by the FDA, DEA, and State of Texas as a manufacturer and follows current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP). • Only FDA-registered manufacturers following cGMPs are used for the purchase of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). n Proven Bases for More Patient Options With access to more than 60 proprietary bases – unavailable to other compounders – your PCCA pharmacy will have more options to treat patients, from VersaBase® topicals, specifically designed for compounded HRT delivery, to Lipoderm®, the industry’s only transdermal proven to deliver four drugs simultaneously, to PracaSil™-Plus, our newest base for scar therapy backed by a number of studies showing its effectiveness. n Comprehensive Education is the Key to Compounding Continuing education is the key to quality compounding solutions. Your PCCA pharmacy has access to more Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE)-accredited continuing education than anyone else. In 2015, PCCA will conduct more than 115 ACPEaccredited sessions across the United States, Canada, and Australia, as well as scores of other training sessions from clinical and technicianrelated topics to sales and marketing. n Complete Support Member pharmacies have access to the industry’s best support with more than 30 pharmacists and pharmaceutical chemists on-hand to answer the toughest compounding and clinical questions. n Advocacy Through our dedicated public affairs group, PCCA advocates for each member’s right to compound through such things as regulatory and insurance support, product availability, and crisis intervention.

Company Background

RxSafe began operations in 2008. Many of the principal employees have been innovating together since the early 90’s at such companies as Pyxis, Omnicell, and DDN where they have extensively contributed to the advancement of automation in the pharmacy industry. RxSafe’s founder and CEO, William Holmes has authored 50 U.S. patents.

Product Overview

Technology sets our automated strip packager, the RxASP 1000 apart– offering more than 1000 canisters, it takes oral solid packaging to a whole new level. Our easy-to-use universal canister means there are no more trays or remote filling stations since it can dispense any size pills including split tabs without calibration. RxEnsure provides you with a complete package to guide your patients to 100% medication adherence. Finally there’s an end-to-end solution. With a 97% patient retention rate after three years, it drives med consolidation, provides a customized patient calendar and is available for all pharmacy formats. The RxSafe 1800 is the leader in automated, high-density robotic storage and retrieval of stock bottles. It represents an evolutionary leap in pharmacy automation technology because it goes beyond drawer-based systems. Unlike vial filling robots that hold a small percentage of your formulary, an RxSafe system can hold virtually all of your oral solid stock bottles including your compounds. When you’re busy, the RxSafe 1800 system really shines. A single operator can routinely fill at a rate of over 100 scripts per hour. If your space is tight, or there’s better use for the space, RxSafe is the solution. In a 3-tower system up to 5,400 stock bottle containers fit in only 40 square feet of space. Join the other independents, chains, hospitals, clinics, military, and institutional pharmacies that have selected RxSafe in the quest for a better pharmacy.

Features & Options

n RxASP 1000 for Adherence Packaging The RxASP 1000 breaks all the barriers of past strip packagers. Designed with the most versatile “hi-fidelity” pouch printing and the easiest to open “tear anywhere” pouches, it has the highest speed and accuracy in the industry, plus the lowest operating cost.

What really stands out is the huge space savings. Engineered to have the smallest footprint of any strip packager on the market, the RxASP 1000 replaces 10 automatic strip packagers in 80% less space with only one set of inventory and one maintenance agreement. Additionally, our product line includes the RxASP 20™ for entry-level packaging and retail adherence programs. n RxEnsure for Medication Adherence Seven years in development, RxEnsure outperforms anything on the market. The software creates a personalized medication kit that includes a color-coded calendar and labels, plus a medication list that is delivered monthly to the patient and doctor. Expect to see statistically significant improvements in length of therapy and proportion of days covered, which provide additional pharmacy revenue. n RxSafe 1800 for Outpatient & Employee Pharmacy

Accuracy. Efficiency. Security. With only one technician and one pharmacist, virtually every pharmacy, every day, can fill all prescriptions without extra filling staff. With one open bottle at a time, there’s less chance for error, no wasted inventory, and no narcotics theft. In fact, the RxSafe 1800 is so secure it’s been approved by the U.S. Department of Defense for CII narcotics storage. With the RxSafe 1800, inventory is 100% accurate because it stores stock bottles behind locked doors and forces workflow at one station without the added expense of other software or hardware. Remote Stock Management is another standard feature of the RxSafe 1800. All pharmacy inventory is managed by the system whether it’s inside or outside the RxSafe. No more audits, overstocking or wasted inventory.

Testimonial

“ We selected RxSafe for our strip packaging technology to take advantage of “next generation” automation. We’re enjoying the benefits of state-of-the-art integration, “high fidelity” flexible pouch printing, lower labor and consumables cost, plus higher accuracy in a small footprint. Additionally, RxSafe has excellent customer service that supports our needs.”

MCPHS University Thanks the Southern New Hampshire Visiting Nurse Association (VNA) Crowded living conditions, cats, dogs and other animals, shoe boxes filled with medications: these are some of the things that pharmacy and nursing students encounter during their clinical rotation with the VNA of Manchester and Southern New Hampshire. Medication reconciliation is the focus of the elective, but it encompasses much more. The students, along with a nurse or physical therapist, visit patients after they have transitioned from a hospital or nursing facility back to their own home. While the nursing student checks vitals and performs dressing changes, the pharmacy student is reviewing the medications in the home and comparing it to the discharge paperwork.

“

I played an active role in collaborating with other members of the health care team as they continually strive to improve patient care and increase medication adherence. This experience exemplifies the interprofessional collaboration that is a top priority in today’s healthcare arena.” ‑ MCPHS Pharmacy Student

“

The VNA gave me the opportunity to witness first hand the significant impact a patient’s home environment can have on their journey back to wellness as they attempt to manage multiple health issues with limited resources.” ‑ MCPHS Nursing Student

Preceptor Recognitions

Pharmacy preceptors are the catalysts who transform competent pharmacy students into compassionate and committed professionals. Roosevelt University College of Pharmacy greatly values the time and dedication of pharmacy preceptors and their critical role in the education of our pharmacy students. The College of Pharmacy works with many individual pharmacists and organizations, large and small to provide quality pharmacy experiences for our students. Roosevelt University College of Pharmacy was proud to present two awards for exceptional Preceptors for the 2013/2014 academic year at the Class of 2014 awards banquet. The Introductory Pharmacy Practice Experience (IPPE) Preceptor of the year was awarded to Dr. Daniel Majerczyk from Union Medical Center Pharmacy. Students’ evaluation of him and his site always speak of his “love for teaching students” and his genuine interest in the advancement of Pharmacy. The Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience (APPE) Preceptor of the year was awarded to Dr. Justin Schneider, Vice President of Sinai Health System. He is a forward thinking healthcare leader who has incorporated pharmacy students into his Pharmacy Practice Model, which has resulted in outstanding core APPE rotations and diverse elective APPE rotations. Roosevelt College of Pharmacy’s Office of Experiential Education values all of their preceptor partnerships. We look forward to continuing to work with our preceptors in preparing our students to become the next generation of outstanding, patient centered Pharmacists. We are grateful for the dedication and inspiration of our preceptors.

Thank you Sara Shermer, R.Ph. for precepting our learners! Sara Shermer, R.Ph. graduated from UCONN in 1990 and became a preceptor in 1995. She has worked in Retail, Long Term Care, Home Infusion, Hospital, Nursing Home Consulting, and Institutional Pharmacy settings. Currently, she works at the Connecticut State Veterans’ Home in Rocky Hill, CT where she has worked for 11 years. She enjoys being a Preceptor because she can share her knowledge and experience with tomorrow’s pharmacists. Sara believes “A successful preceptor should enjoy teaching, developing, and motivating their students to become the BEST pharmacists.” When asked what the most important role of a preceptor is, Sara responded “It is important for a preceptor to customize each student’s learning experience to make the most of developing their skills and knowledge base; realizing that each student has a different set of needs.” Western New England University would like to thank Sara Shermer, R.Ph. for all of her amazing work with its learners.

Company Background

Medication compliance and adherence are consistent, growing concerns. Over ten years ago, a group of professionals comprised of a compound pharmacist, an engineer, and a nurse practitioner recognized a compliance need in topical dosing and developed Topi-CLICK. “With the growing popularity of topical medications, we began to realize the increased potential for dosing errors,” said DoseLogix President/CEO Tim Phipps. The original goal was to devise an easy-to-use topical applicator that would take the mess and guesswork out of applying creams, ointments, and gels. After testing, modifying, refining, and retesting many prototypes, the originators of Topi-CLICK unveiled their creation in 2007. They had no idea their invention would become such a global phenomenon.

Product Overview

The clean, elegant, user-friendly design of Topi-CLICK made it an instant hit with healthcare professionals and patients, who extolled its advantages over syringes, tubes, and pumps. Soon after its launch, Topi-CLICK was featured on various syndicated cable TV programs, including The Doctors, Dr. Oz on Oprah, Dr. Phil, and The Suzanne (Somers) Show. Topi-CLICK continues to set sales records and spread into new markets as DoseLogix, its parent company, expands its product line. Most recently, DoseLogix launched TopiCLICK 140®, which is four times larger than the original Topi-CLICK 35®. Additional new products will be released later this year for women’s health and veterinary applications. DoseLogix President and CEO Tim Phipps recently provided some insights on the impact of Topi-CLICK and what healthcare professionals and patients might see in the future. Q: What was the reason for the recent name change of Topi-CLICK’s

parent company from Custom Rx to DoseLogix?

A: DoseLogix is a name-brand that better reflects our mission and purpose.

We have an unwavering commitment to facilitate accurate dosing, which we believe is one of the main reasons for the success of Topi-CLICK. We are determined to remain on the forefront of innovation and new technology. DoseLogix is a name that fits.

Q: You mentioned that accurate dosing is one of the main reasons

for Topi-CLICK’s success. What are the other reasons?

A: Ease of use and hands-free application are two big benefits. Patients love

how they can just turn Topi-CLICK the proper number of CLICKs, get the proper dosage quickly, and then simply use the applicator top to apply topical preparations directly where they belong. When patients use syringes, tubes, jars, or pumps, it is not only challenging to get a precise dose, but then they use their hands for application. That is not only often messy, but patients can end up with a topical being absorbed into fingers and hands, where it doesn’t belong. And that only increases the chance of cross contamination.

Q: What was the purpose for introducing Topi-CLICK 140? A: It was in response to requests we have been getting to make a topical

applicator that would be more convenient for applying larger doses, such as for wound care, pain medication or scar care. Our original product, Topi-CLICK 35, holds a maximum of 35 mLs and dispenses topical preparations at a rate of 0.25 mL/CLICK. Topi-CLICK 140 holds a maximum of 140 mLs and dispenses topicals at a rate of 0.5 mL/CLICK. Creating a dispenser that holds four times more medication may also allow some patients to go longer between refills.

Q: What other new products are we likely to see in the near future

from DoseLogix?

A: We are always looking for new innovations to help promote accurate

dosing and make application of topical preparations easier for patients. Our research and development team is busy with a long list of new products in the pipeline addressing needs in the areas of women’s health, veterinary health, children’s health, and pharmacy workflow.

Company Background

Liberty Software is an independent software company serving retail pharmacies across America. We have been successful at developing technology that helps community pharmacies compete in today’s marketplace. At Liberty Software we work hard to make sure our clients are satisfied and happy. To do this, we have brought together a team of individuals who are experienced with pharmacy and technology, and just as important, are friendly and helpful.

Product Overview

Here at Liberty, we believe that RXQ is revolutionary pharmacy software. Why do we say that? It’s not just the technology, although RXQ is built on Microsoft’s newest technology platform. It’s not just the feature list, although it is comprehensive. More than anything, we believe that it is the user experience. Prescriptions can be filled quickly and accurately. Many pharmacists have told us it is the easiest system they have ever used. Pharmacies processing a large number of prescriptions daily, face numerous challenges. Many pharmacies are still using antiquated systems that do not have the ability or features to handle their prescription volume. RXQ is stable and scalable as you grow. We have the features to ensure that you are productive and profitable. If there is a problem, we have a support team that understands the needs of high-volume stores. How long does it take to teach new employees how to operate your existing pharmacy software? Pharmacies using RXQ have found that new employees can often begin filling scripts immediately, with little to no training. It’s just that simple. A well-designed pharmacy system should make your employees more productive and happier. When you do need help, it’s only a phone call or mouse click away.

Additional Product Modules

n BZQ Point-of-Sale For your pharmacy, point-of-sale software needs to be more than cash drawer management for your front-end. For your patients, it should enable your staff to provide better service. For you, it should result in better accountability, assistance with HIPAA compliance, and improved pharmacy management. These are values that not just any point-of-sale package can deliver. That’s why we developed the BZQ pharmacy pointof-sale software from the ground up, designed especially for community pharmacies’ needs. BZQ is not simply an add-on to your pharmacy system, but a completely integrated solution that works hand-in-hand with the RXQ pharmacy system. SPRING 2015

TCGRx is Your Partner for All Pharmacy Solutions Automated vial filling, automated packaging, high-density storage, and inventory management – TCGRx has something for every size pharmacy, in every market, for every budget. President:

Duane Chudy Founded: 2006 Employees: 60+ Phone: (262) 279-5307 Address: N1671 Powers Lake Road Powers Lake, WI 53159 Website: www.TCGRx.com Email: info@TCGRx.com

Company Background TCGRx is a leading supplier of pharmacy automation. Our solutions can be scaled from simple packaging technology to enterprise-level perpetual inventory management. That means providing not just the tools to make your pharmacy more efficient, but also the thinking behind those tools. TCGRx provides design and consultation services for solution integration in all pharmacy markets. Product Overview n AVF™ AVF-70 automates the counting of up to 64 medications through canister technology and can be expanded in increments of six additional direct fill canisters for handling do-not-mix meds with the AVF-6. With a small footprint, automated vial filling from TCGRx brings a great deal of value to any size pharmacy. The AVF counts and stages up to 10 orders ahead of the technician at all times. Pharmacies can use any vial size and shape with no limitations. The unit can be integrated as an end cap or countertop solution. We also offer an optional cart that can be used to store vials and medications.

Additional Products n Adherence Packaging Our Automated Tablet Packager (ATP™) is the industry-leading oral solid packager. Engineered to provide better performance and reliability, ATP facilitates both unit dose and multi-med packaging with simple-to-use software. Working in tandem with the SmartTrayRx™, ATP is the only system on the market allowing 100% automation of formulary medications. TCGRx has also designed the ATP-71™, offering the same great features with a smaller footprint. The AdherePac™ pouch produced by the ATP contains all of your patient’s medications

for a given pass time. The pouches have a serrated edge and are easy to open, helping ensure the patient takes their medications as directed. The AdherePac solution provides the ability to generate reminder pouches for non-oral solids such as inhalers, or topical creams, so every medication prescribed is prompted at the correct time. n High-Density Storage HDStock™ storage system provides dense storage capacity, easy access, and clear visibility. No other system offers drawers to store more packages in the same space, configured to your pharmacy’s needs. HDStock is alphabetically organized and tailored to your pharmacy with labeling and compartmentalizing features to make finding medications quick and easy, and can be integrated with Beacon®. n Inventory Management Beacon® is a full inventory management system, transforming a pharmacy into an efficient pick and storage center. Pick-and-put-to-light LEDs, barcode confirmation, and image verification of every med, allow rapid location and dispensing. TCG inventory management systems provide visibility, medication location specifics, exact bottle quantities, status (opened or unopened), and expiration date. Beacon can also manage your will-call with DeliverRx™ for prescription pickups, and PharmLoc™ for secure medication storage - all with full inventory and reporting capabilities.

Aseptic Vial Processing from PennTech Machinery Corporation PennTech manufactures advanced aseptic vial processing equipment that is uniquely engineered to outperform. A special emphasis is put on high quality, small scale, and efficient design principles.

President:

Vincent Smit Founded: 1992 Employees: 40+ Phone: (215) 396-2200 Address: 103 Steamwhistle Drive Warminster, PA 18974 USA Website: www.penntech-corp.com Email: info@penntech-corp.com

Company Background

Based in Pennsylvania, PennTech Machinery Corporation is a world leader in the manufacture of complete aseptic vial production lines. Since founding in 1992, success in performance and reliability has led to an ever increasing and diverse product line. PennTech’s specialty lies in low-to-medium speed applications; however, our product line includes many machines exceeding 400 vials per minute. PennTech’s machine design philosophy is “soft” rather than “hard”; servo motors rather than gears, belts, and chains. Their mottos are “Less is more” and “Smaller is better”. In doing so, their U.S. made equipment has a very small footprint, making them easy to maintain, changeover, and operate.

Product Overview

Continuous aseptic processing has significant advantages. In less than 30 minutes, a vial goes from the vial washing machine, to the sterilization/ depyrogenation tunnel, to the filler/stoppering/capping machine and (for those requiring it) into the external vial decontamination machine with no operator intervention or re-contamination. The objective of vial washing is to remove particulate matter and microorganisms. Traditional vial washers have many moving parts in the washing chamber, all of which generate particulate matter. PennTech washers have only two moving parts and their main drive is servo-driven. Specific settings for spray time and indexing time reduce water consumption, resulting in a highly efficient vial washing process. PennTech offers an effective method of loading vials into the depyrogenation tunnel. Keeping control over the vials at all times, vials are fed from the vial washer via a sanitary conveyor before gently being pushed into the tunnel by an oscillating pusher. No format parts are required. This is essentially a set-it-and-forget-it automatic process requiring no operator intervention. PennTech’s range of compact tunnels are designed for the continuous sterilization/depyrogenation of pharmaceutical glass containers, using hot air, in a class 100 environment according to US Federal Standard 209E. For this purpose, the tunnel has three chambers, each provided with HEPA-filters: the infeed chamber, the sterilizing chamber, and the cooling chamber.

When it comes to liquid filling, PennTech offers the FS(C) series, which is comprised of single and dual filling, and stopper/inserting machines, with or without the capping function, and is designed for 2ml to 100ml vials with an output of up to 200 vpm. The compact in-line design features Allen Bradley components and is equipped with servo motors. If you are looking for an external decontamination vial washer, PennTech’s EVW-Series is the industry’s only in-line decontamination system to completely encapsulate vial caps with a watertight seal. This allows for increased washing pressures for a thorough cleaning of the entire vial body, including the bottom, which is exposed to the water jets. Compressed air is used to dry the vials before discharge. The set-up is recipe driven with automatic height settings to accommodate containers from 2ml to 500ml. With an output up to 400 vials per minute, 13mm and 20mm caps can be processed on the machine without needing to change parts. However, a typical changeover only requires exchanging the infeed and outfeed timing screws. It takes five minutes and is tool-less. The piping for washing and drying, as well as, the electrical control system is housed in the base of the machine.

Testimonial

“ T he RW-250 has allowed us to raise the bar on our aseptic vial washing process, as well as, cut costs associated with it. PennTech’s machine engineering industry expertise truly speaks for itself. While there are other companies that may be able to satisfy our needs, PennTech has truly found solutions for compounding pharmacies that mimic Big Pharma in a smaller package. I strongly recommend others in my industry to explore what PennTech can do for their business.” — Hallandale Pharmacy

Company Background Transaction Data Systems (TDS) was founded in January 1977. Although the original focus was high-end data communications software to the airline reservation industry and automated teller systems, TDS quickly found it’s calling in the pharmacy software dispensing market. In 1980, a local Florida pharmacy was looking to automate their daily processing activities … and Rx30 was born. For the past 36 years, Rx30 has been dedicated solely to the success of independent pharmacy. Today … Rx30 is proud to claim over 4,300 pharmacies that utilize our software for their prescription filling/management needs and has become an unquestioned leader in Independent Pharmacy Management Software. There’s never been a better time to join the Rx30 family.
