0. Does the government prefer conveyance of sealed bags from the semi-auto baggers?
Yes, Sealed bags should be conveyed from the discharge of the bagger to dump into an existing cart, the top of which is approximately 62” high.

0. What is the available voltage for the semi-auto packers?
208 VAC, 3 phase.
0. What is the current manual process?
Orders are received in the POS and each pharmacy technician walks to a stock location for each NDC in the order.
