Counts 100 Tablets in Less Than 20 Seconds
A typical pill counting transaction of 60 pills, performed on a DRX500 scale connected to the TORBAL server is made in three easy steps, and can be performed under 20 seconds. The steps are simple: tare the vial, scan the NDC located on the supply bottle, and fill the count. During each count the scale displays the name of the drug and other important drug information.

Advanced Pill Counting Accuracy
APA is an advanced pill counting algorithm that quickly and efficiently adjusts for pill weight variations providing even greater accuracy when filling prescriptions. The feature is very easy to use and requires little user interaction. This system not only improves counting accuracy, it also speeds up the process significantly and eliminates the need for the pharmacist to count pills manually when updating average piece weights.

Interactive Administration Panel
The software is easily accessed and viewed with the use of a web browser such as Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. Once logged-in, the administrators have access to detailed graphs, charts, and reports, of performed transactions. The admin panel is also used to setup users and configure the server. Each server offers great flexibility and can be configured to fit particular pharmacies needs and requirements.

Automatic Email Reporting and Alerts
The TORBAL server generates and automatically emails daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly reports which include details about performed counting transactions, verifications, most frequently counting drugs, as well as detailed user activity.

When using features such as prescription size or Rx verification, the TORBAL server monitors and records pill counting transactions to make sure that verification was performed successfully and that the count was filled accurately. If a user causes a miscount, by filling too many or not enough pills as required, or if a user fails Rx verification, the server instantly sends out an email alert to all administrators with a notification.

Rx NDC Verification
The NDC verification feature eliminates potential errors in prescription filling. It ensures that a prescription is correctly counted and filled. The feature allows the user to compare two NDC codes and check for a match. The NDC on your Rx label barcode is compared to the stock bottle barcode. If the two scanned NDC codes are the same the scale displays "Match OK" and allows you to proceed with pill counting. If the codes are different, the scale displays a "Failed" message. Pill counting transactions which have failed Rx verification are recorded by the server in a dedicated report. As soon as "Failed" Rx verification occurs the server instantly sends out an email alert notifying the administrators.

Accurate, repetitive, automatic dispensing!

The Unispense II is a versatile, moderately priced alternative to manual liquid dispensing.

• Moderately Priced
• 1 to 830 ml Volume Setting
• 0.5 to 5 Second Delay Setting
• No Pistons or Valves to Jam
• Less Than One Minute to Change Tubes
• Audible Signal at End of Filling Cycle
• Accommodates Liquids of Various Viscosity

Unispense II allows you to dispense unit dose liquids and larger volumes accurately and repeatedly. You can vary the size of the Unispense tubing assembly and the volume setting from 1 ml to 830 ml*. You can also change the delay between dispensings from 0.5 to 5 seconds. Keep the manual dispense button or footswitch depressed for continuous pumping.

The single speed peristaltic pump accommodates liquids ranging in viscosity from aqueous solutions to medium syrups. Unispense® II records the number of doses from a ready reference. An audible signal at the end of the filling cycle frees you from visually monitoring the unit.

There are no valves or pistons to become clogged or "frozen" so downtime is reduced. And, the used tubing assembly is removed and replaced with a fresh assembly in less than one minute. When used with the Wheaton IV Additive Pump Chamber Assembly, Unispense® II efficiently prepares IV Additive admixtures and fills sterile syringes for injectables.

The Medi-Dose® Group, known for its innovative solid and liquid oral unit dose packaging systems, has always had deep roots---family roots. This is not surprising since Medi-Dose began as a small family business. Medi-Dose was founded in 1971 when Milton Braverman, a former pharmaceutical company Territory Manager, formed his own company.
