Optional First Databank (FDB) Subscription for Pak-EDGE® UD Barcode Labeling Software
MPI offers an optional First Databank (FDB) subscription as an additional component for use with Pak-EDGE® UD Barcode Labeling Software, the advanced labeling program for all MPI packaging solutions.
With an active FDB subscription, end users can scan bulk medication, and the data fields in Pak-EDGE® UD Barcode Labeling Software will automatically populate with drug data from the FDB database, including:
- Generic name
- Trade name
- Strength, measure, and form
- National Drug Code (NDC) #
- Manufacturer name
- Control number
- Drug class code
The ability to access the FDB drug data, images, and imprints database was added to MPI’s Pak-EDGE® UD Barcode Labeling Software to ensure additional safeguards during the drug packaging, barcoding, and labeling process.
This feature enhances medication adherence and assists in making the right dispensing decisions, ensuring that patients receive the medicine they need in a safe and timely manner.
FDB continues to play an integral role in improving patient safety, leading to better patient outcomes.
MPI provides a one (1) month trial subscription to FDB at no charge when a packaging system is purchased. After the trial period, users have the option to renew the subscription annually.
