MTS Medication Technologies Announces the Launch of the PillVue Color Labeling System: The First System of Its Kind for Pre-Pack Medications
MTS Medication Technologies announced the launch of its PillVue Color Labeling System. Created specifically for pharmacies that pre-package medications and want to increase productivity and prevent packaging errors.

ST. PETERSBURG, FL, November 11, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Today, MTS Medication Technologies announced the launch of its PillVue Color Labeling System. Created specifically for long-term care pharmacies that pre-package oral solid medications and want to increase productivity and prevent packaging and dispensing errors. The system provides a turnkey, all-in-one solution to create a pill image library and prints full-color labels used to verify the correct medications are in the package.

The system contains enhanced software with MVP (multi-view printing), which allows simultaneous viewing of license plate labels, foil, and pill image labels. The software communicates with multiple pharmacy printers with a single print request, simplifying the printing process and streamlining production of blister cards and unit dose packs.

"With increased economic and regulatory constraints, pharmacists and pharmacy technicians are tasked to do more. These increased workloads can also cause distractions and fatigue, which increase the likelihood of mistakes, especially in instances where different medications look very similar to one another or have similar names," says Perry Larson, Vice President and Chief Business Development Officer at MTS. "The pill image labels produced by the PillVue System can provide additional assurance at a glance for pharmacists tasked with verifying prescriptions prior to release."

The system, which includes a high-resolution camera, MVP software, barcode scanner and color printer, also helps streamline the daily tasks for long-term care pharmacies and medication repackagers in the following ways:

- It provides the ability to update their pill image library as needed, without recurring fees or waiting for updates from an external provider

- It automatically calculates package expiration dates based on the manufacturer's expiration dates and the extended use dating policy of the pharmacy

- It offers the option to color-code labels for quick identification of expired medications

The PillVue System will be on display at the American Society of Consultant Pharmacists annual meeting in Phoenix, November 16-18. Those interested in learning more can call 800-671-0589 or visit the www.mts-mt.com.
