New Pharmacy Automation Technology on Display at McKesson ideaShare 2011

Fillmaster Plus reconstitution and flavoring device uses bar code scanning to save time and reduce the risk of dispensing error while promoting higher patient compliance.

Independent pharmacists looking for innovative ways to provide stellar customer service, improve the bottom-line and gain efficiency behind the counter should make a beeline for booth #1116 at McKesson ideaShare 2011. There, FLAVORx, the medication compliance experts, and Fillmaster Systems, producers of advanced pharmaceutical reconstitution equipment, will demonstrate the one-of-a-kind Fillmaster Plus automated dispensing device.

The Fillmaster Plus combines the unique aspects of what Fillmaster Systems and FLAVORx offer into a leading-edge piece of pharmacy automation equipment. Pharmaceutical reconstitution, which in many cases is a manual, time-consuming, error-prone process, can now be accomplished at the push of a button with great accuracy. Reconstitution is performed in a matter of seconds for extremely efficient workflow in the pharmacy. This frees up time behind the counter, and keeps customer wait time to a minimum. The integrated FLAVORx prescription flavoring system allows pharmacists and technicians to promote higher pediatric medication compliance without putting an extra burden on the staff.

In addition to the live demonstrations at the FLAVORx booth (#1116) in the McKesson ideaShare exhibit hall, the Fillmaster Plus will be on display and available for hands-on use in the Health Mart corporate booth.

While the Fillmaster Plus is understandably the star of the show, FLAVORx will be exhibiting two additional products that are exciting in their own right. The FLAVORx Veterinary system provides independent pharmacists with a turn-key way to attract profitable pet pharmacy business to their store. And Pill Glide, a new OTC product from FLAVORx, finally gives pharmacists a proven solution to recommend to any patients who have difficulty swallowing tablets and capsules.

McKesson ideaShare 2011 takes place from June 29 – July 3 2011 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, CA
