Two MacDill Pharmacy sites currently utilize the Fillmaster Digital® automated water dispensing system to reconstitute powdered medications such as antibiotics and antivirals. This system provides an integrated barcode technology that automatically retrieves and dispenses the required amount of water for reconstitution once the barcode on the medication container is scanned. This process allows for accurate, safer, and timelier reconstitution with water delivered through a RO filtration system. The system is able to provide between 9 to 1000ml of water within a +/- 3% accuracy rate and contains over 4000 National Drug Codes (NDC) to enable quick retrieval of the required amount of water for reconstitution. If no NDC is available, users can manually enter in the required amount of water and the system will dispense as desired. The Fillmaster Auto® provides several custom flavoring options that can be added to medications during the reconstitution process, achieving a more palatable and welcoming taste.

FAR 6.302-1 Only one responsible source and no other supplies will satisfy agency requirements.

The Fillmaster® is the only fully automated drug reconstitution system that is used by a majority of Air Force Pharmacies to reconstitute powdered drugs. Fillmaster® Digital is currently at use at 2 of 3 MacDill AFB Pharmacy sites and is necessary to complete the uniformity of medication reconstitution, while promoting optimal infection control standards, patient safety, and expedited and timelier prescription support to the beneficiary population. The Fillmaster® Auto is the exact system with identical functionality but with the added benefit of flavoring options. Upon research, Fillmaster® Auto is the only product available that provides additional flavoring to medications to help make drugs more palatable, thereby ensuring prompt medication administration when needed. The two greatest benefits of the Fillmaster Auto® system is the safe, timely, and accurate medication reconstitution capability and the flavoring system ensures that patients are able to better tolerate their medications and continue on with their prescribed course of therapy. Failure to award this contract will result in continued patient safety risks, additional man-hour requirements, and delays in optimal therapeutic care.

Fillmaster Systems, LLC is the only vendor able to satsifiy this requirement.
