The PACMED NS Series is a high-efficiency, high-capacity automated pouch-packaging system that produces personalized, portable, and secure unit-dose or multi-dose medication pouches for retail and hospital pharmacies. It is designed to accelerate packaging, enhance traceability, and reduce medication errors, helping pharmacies deliver safer, more efficient care.

PACMED NS uses barcoding for end-to-end verification, from pharmacy production through patient delivery, and supports pouch packaging that simplifies medication administration. These features help reduce manual counting and minimize packaging errors, improving accuracy and efficiency.

Key benefits include fewer human interventions thanks to a high canister count and continuous flow of non-canister medications through STS trays, increased throughput that allows more prescriptions to be processed within existing infrastructure, and the ability to deliver a differentiated service to patients.

PACMED NS is ideal for operations that require high-volume personalized packaging, including retail pharmacies producing compliance packs, long-term care preparation areas, and central-fill hubs supporting multiple sites. Its design focuses on scalability and capacity to meet growing demand efficiently.

Consider factors such as labor savings through reduced manual packaging, error reduction that minimizes waste and corrections, improved throughput that enables higher volume without adding staff, and space efficiency that optimizes your footprint. Compare these operational benefits against capital investment, training time, and integration complexity.

Plan for adequate space to accommodate the high-capacity unit, reliable power and network connectivity, workflow adjustments to support continuous pouch packaging, proper integration of barcoding and verification steps, and comprehensive staff training to operate and maintain the system effectively.

Compared to manual or semi-automated pouch-pack methods, PACMED NS delivers significantly higher throughput, full automation of canister-based medications, and integrated verification processes with barcoding and pouch packaging. These capabilities provide greater accuracy and reduce operator dependence.

Customers say they are seeing measurable results: “By automating our top partial tablets with the new universal canisters, we reduced more than 30 percent of our STS trays. The one-sided design also allows us to operate efficiently in a smaller workspace.”

PACMED NS supports full traceability with standardized barcodes on every pouch, enabling verification from production through to patient delivery. It also reduces manual interventions and promotes standardized packaging workflows, helping you maintain audit trails that are regulatory-ready and minimize risk.

Key criteria to consider include current and projected packaging volume, the complexity of medication regimens such as partial tablets and non-canister medications, available floor space and workflow capacity, staffing limitations, and budget for investment. If your volume justifies a high-capacity machine and you are focused on growth, safety, and efficiency, PACMED NS is an excellent choice.
