Process for packaging medication Sample Clauses

Process for packaging medication into unit dose The process for dispensing and packaging medication into electronically identifiable unit doses contains several steps. Our products are available in three different package sizes; 5, 20 or 50 unit doses. The ERP1-system generates a production proposal. An operator provides a unique lot number for each production, from a production journal. Operators generate paper worksheets and correct amount of labels prior to production. In the worksheet, the operator types e.g. the production’s lot number, expiry date, quantity (e.g. 10 x 20 unit doses). The operator then enters data into a unit dose software. The software and a dose dispenser server are integrated. Operators apply labels onto the cardboard boxes. Both the unit doses and the secondary packages contain bar codes with a predefined article number. The article number of the drug connects master data in all software to ensure printing of correct labelling during dispensing. Prior to dispensing, operators use bar codes for identification and linking the original product (to be re- packed) to the cassette number and cassette docking in the dispensing machine. Post-production, operators conduct a visual examination on every dose bag. Thereafter, they count, tear off the strip of e.g. 20 bags, roll and place them into the pre-labelled secondary package. The product is available for sale after approval by both a production pharmacist and a control pharmacist.
