FastPak® EXP
The FastPak EXP offers an affordable pouch packaging solution with the safety of canister dispensing for more than 320 medications. It can barcode up to 100 percent of oral solid prescription medications, which represent the majority of doses in an average hospital pharmacy.
Compliance Packager
Offering unprecedented packaging flexibility and the ability to automate up to 100 percent of your oral solid medications, AmerisourceBergen's FastPak® EXP is the industry’s premier barcode medication packaging solution.
The EXP consists of packaging subunits that can be easily switched from traditional unit-dose and multi-dose solutions to automated dispensing cabinets or 30-day boxes. Our innovative Smart Canisters are optional and can be interchanged quickly to offer automatic content detection for medication database management.
FastPak EXP’s flexible barcode labeling options meet industry standards for compliance packaging as part of your barcode medication administration (BCMA) initiative for increased patient safety. Every dose can be clearly labeled with drug name, strength, and description; and, if desired, the patient's name and time of administration.
Optional Companion Solution:
-
Barcoding Station
The Barcoding Station accurately and cost-efficiently barcodes all items not barcoded, or not properly barcoded, by the manufacturer. When the FastPak EXP is combined with the Barcoding Station, any size facility can achieve a complete barcode solution.
- Replenishment Kit Barcode scanning verifies that the correct bulk oral solid medication is being added to the correct canister in the correct location. The scale determines average pieceweight of individual medications and stores this information in the database to automatically calculate subsequent canister replenishment. The scale is accurate to at least 99.5 percent and can be used as a stand-alone counter.

Daniel's Pharmacy Adds Volume Without Added Labor Costs
The Challenge
Iyad Nasrah, RPh, owner of Daniel's Pharmacy (San Francisco, California) struggled to maintain his packaging service to long-term care and assisted-living facility customers as business grew, "We were manually filling unit-dose bags in blister packs, [making it] hard for us to keep up with the volume."
The Automation
Nasrah installed a FastPak compliance packager to save staff time and streamline the order fulfillment process.
The Result
Sales increased nearly 15 percent in a year and the system reduced order fulfillment time by 50 percent. Says Nasrah, "You never know what’s going to happen. We have a very stable staff, but someone could get sick. Someone could leave. FastPak is easy to run, easy to manage. We could still operate normally whether we were short a person or not."
