VMI Care

The VMI INDIVION is VMI Care’s answer to the demands commonly seen in the pharmacy industry. Whether you run a Central Fill Pharmacy, a larger retail or hospital pharmacy, everywhere we see the same challenges: more items to pack, more services to deliver, stricter quality measures to satisfy, better data protection and stricter regulations. For the increasing number of high volume automated dose packaging hubs, a much higher level of efficiency is needed.

To cover these demands, many pharmacies have already automated their packaging process. However, the current pouch packaging machines are based on decades old technical principles, are not designed for really continuous and high volume production, hardly meet the increasing quality demands and result still in considerable unavoidable manual correction efforts, after automatic inspection.

The VMI engineers took up the challenge which resulted in the VMI INDIVION packaging system.

How does it work?

The VMI INDIVION produces daily dose pouch packs and can be seen as the heart of VMI’s high volume range of automated packaging solutions. The machine has an unrivaled capacity, producing up to 10,000 pouches per hour. The VMI INDIVION has an average dispensing accuracy better than 99.97% which is about 3 times more accurate than common pouch packaging machines in the market, while at the same time minimizing the risks of cross-contamination.

VMI has chosen a proven industrial robot for all canister handling in the VMI INDIVION which builds on VMI’s experience with other VMI machines in other markets. In the last few decades, robot technology has matured to very high levels of reliability and durability. VMI, as an innovative developer of process automation solutions, partners with all leading robot technology suppliers and is able to select the best, based on our experience, over many decades.

Canisters are stored and positioned on both the table and in the doors. The robot puts the smart canisters on the correct docking stations for release. Below the table are 72 specially designed hoppers, collecting medication for each single pouch. The most commonly seen reason for process assembly errors is tablets that bounce into the wrong pouch, or they are damaged. To avoid all this, the maximum dropping height in the VMI INDIVION has been reduced to only 21 cm (8 inch).

The VMI INDIVION is easy, accessible and can easily be operated by one single operator.

Single-dose, unit-dose, multi-dose, urgent orders, unexpected changes, produce to order, with the VMI INDIVION in combination with VMI PHARYS software, it all becomes an easy job.

Product highlights

• Unrivaled high capacity of up to 10,000 pouches per hour
• More than 1,000 smart canisters with RFID technology
• Equipped with a reliable and durable industrial robot
• Maximum dropping height of medicines is 21 cm (8 inch)

Medical Packaging Inc., LLC

Medical Packaging Inc., LLC (MPI), a global healthcare packaging solutions provider for 50 years, provides innovative pharmacy packaging solutions for packaging oral solid and oral liquid medication, and overwrapping and labeling of ampoules, vials and syringes, which contribute to saving patient’s lives by reducing medication errors while also increasing efficiency and automation in pharmacy packaging operations.

MPI’s pharmacy packaging solutions, which include the packaging system, MPI-certified consumable materials and MPI’s exclusive Pak-EDGE™ UD Barcode Labeling Software, have been developed in adherence to industry specifications and meet the requirements of governing regulatory bodies for the repackaging of medication into unit dose. Optional integration to First DataBank drug data, imprints and images library, assists the pharmacy in reducing potential dispensing errors and increasing safety and efficiency.

MPI’s solutions for packaging oral solid medication include the Auto-Print® Standard packaging system, which packages sixty (60) packages per minute (ppm) and the Auto-Print® Express 90 packaging system, which packages ninety (90) packages per minute (ppm). Additional functionality can be achieved through the optional Oral Solid Feeder attachment, which packages bulk medication from the bottle into individual unit dose packages, the Variable Length Option, which allows for adjustment to the package length to accommodate packaging of non-standard sized tablets or capsules, and the Barcode Verifier Option, which automatically scans each package to assure that the printed barcode can be accurately scanned at the bedside.

MPI’s solutions for packaging oral liquid medication include the Fluidose® Series 6 packaging system for packaging medication into unit dose cups and the Auto-Draw® Syringe Filling System for packaging medication into oral syringes.

The Fluidose® Series 6, which packages twenty-two (22) packages per minute (ppm), dependent upon fill rate and viscosity, produces a single, barcoded, unit dose package containing liquid medication to be delivered to the bedside. Fluidose® Series 6 is compliant with The Joint Commission (TJC) regulations for dispensing oral liquid medication and is capable of dispensing volumes between 1 mL and 40mL. Additional functionality can be achieved through the Barcode Verifier Option, which automatically scans each package to assure that the printed barcode can be accurately scanned at the bedside.

The Auto-Draw® Oral Syringe Filling System is a semi-automatic solution that is capable of filling most oral slip syringes up to 50 mL in volume of varying viscosities providing the solution for batch filling of syringes with speed, accuracy and repeatability. Filling operations can be completed in a manner of seconds and no additional software is required. MPI’s Auto-Draw® is ideally used for oral liquid medication doses 1 mL or greater or for those medications that are not typically packaged in unit dose cups or are not commercially available in unit dose.

MPI’s solutions for ancillary packaging include overwrapping and labeling solutions for ampoules, vials and syringes. MPI’s overwrapping solutions include the Pharmacy Accessory Bagging System (PABS), which produces up to thirty-five (35) filled and sealed packages per minute. Labeling and barcoding is done directly on the bag, eliminating costly labels and allowing for customization of the barcode. Bags are available in several different sizes to accommodate even the most irregularly sized items. MPI’s Auto-Print® Max Bagger, packages in bags with a punched hole in the upper half of the package specifically for use with centralized, robotic systems.

MPI’s labeling solutions include the Pharmacy Accessory Label Printer (PALP), which is offered with either direct thermal or thermal transfer technology to quickly and efficiently print accurate barcoded labels for placement on ampoules, vials and syringes. Labels are available in several different styles to accommodate all labeling needs. MPI’s Auto-Wrap® Syringe Labeling System, with labeling and wrapping speed of up to twenty (20) syringes per minute, automates the process of labeling syringes and assists in increasing production throughput while reducing repetitive stress injuries (RSI) by producing a printed label and automatically wrapping it around a syringe in one single motion. The Auto-Wrap® can accommodate any type of oral or injectable syringe from ½ mL to 60 mL without any need for adjustment or changing of parts. Open-faced design allows for easy loading of label stock and access to all controls.
