Blister Packaging Yields Patient, Healthcare Benefits: Part III
Taking a deeper dive into Holyoke’s blister card filling process for its single and multi-dose applications.
December 17, 2018
Holyoke Health Center procures its blister cards from Omnicell, which produces them at its St. Petersburg, FL, facility. Holyoke primarily uses Omnicell’s SureMed+, a seven-day, four-time pass cold-seal, bi-fold card. SureMed Cards are offered in both single-dose and multimed applications. Single dose cards come in 14, 28, 30, 31, 32, 60, 62, and 90-day cavities with four different depths. Multimed cards come in 28, 30, 31, and 35-cavity configurations in varying depths. The multimed card is made up of two components: a paperboard card and the thermoformed blister tray. The patient and drug information (e.g. patient name, drug name, dosing, administration time, etc.) are printed directly onto the paperboard card on-site at the pharmacy to provide instructions to the patient on which blister cavity contains the right meds for an administration time. Cards may be printed in up to eight colors, utilizing Omnicell-qualified printers. Cards and blisters are provided separately. Holyoke purchases both custom cards.
