Pharmacy Accessory Bagging System (PABS)
Ampoule, Vial, & Syringe Packaging Made Easy
MPI’s Pharmacy Accessory Bagging System (PABS) is an electric table-top barcoding packaging solution for printing and packaging parenteral and injectable medicines such as ampoules, vials, and prefilled syringes. Our PABS medical device provides the capability of loading, printing, barcoding, and sealing medications in a few simple steps.
Pharmaceutical Applications
Bags are blown open through an internal fan, which channels high-volume, low-pressure ducted air into the bag for easy product loading. Labeling and barcoding are done directly on the secondary packaging by an integrated 203 DPI thermal imprinter with a 4″ wide printhead, eliminating costly labels and allowing for customization of barcoding to the requirements of each pharma manufacturer.
Improved Patient Safety
- Labeling and barcoding are done directly on the bag, eliminating the need to place labels on secondary packaging manually.
- 4.3″ full-color touchscreen to control packaging operations.
- Operated by foot pedal to offer hands-free filling.
- Seals completely each time to eliminate airborne particles and delivers consistent and tamper-evident seals.
- Barcode Scan Check: Scanning bulk bottle before packaging verifies proper drug.
- Tall-Man Lettering: Helps reduce look-alike, sound-alike errors.
Customized for Your Needs
- Standard bags offered in a variety of sizes, 2 mil thick, featuring one side clear and one side white with a vent hole.
- Custom amber-colored bags available in 2″ x 4″ packaging options to assist in differentiating between types of medication.
