Baxa Corporation Signs Co-Marketing Agreement with Unit
Dose Solutions Inc. Englewood, Colo.,
Sept. 22, 2006 – Baxa Corporation and Unit Dose Solutions (UDS) have signed an exclusive co-marketing agreement for
promotion of UDS’ unique services for hospital pharmacy drug repackaging. Under the agreement, Baxa Corporation
will market and sell outsourced repackaging services on behalf of UDS, and provide oral and topical dispensers and accessories
for its operations. These services fill a critical gap for patient safety by offering customized bar coding on a unit
dose medication pack, therefore providing the right dose for the right patient in a format that ensures the right route of
administration. Using current good
manufacturing practices, Unit Dose Solutions provides many unique benefits for providers. The most important of these
is improved patient safety through reduced medication errors. With UDS’ solution, providers can have any drug
in their existing formulary repackaged into a unit dose, bar-coded format. UDS offers a customized approach that works
with the customer’s existing supply chain, using their existing drug formulary, and coordinating with their drug wholesaler
and their internal storage and distribution system. Unlike competitive services, UDS provides individual product labeling
customized to the provider’s needs that work with any bedside verification system and any barcode scanners. That
provides a key link for true medication management and ensures the safety of the oral drug delivery process. “Since its founding, we’ve seen Unit Dose Solutions
as a strong complement to the work we do at Baxa,” noted Claude Hooton, Baxa Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
“Both companies are focused on patient safety. Together we provide the safest solutions available for medication
preparation, labeling and administration.” The
two-year agreement gives UDS access to the full national sales team and marketing capability of Baxa Corporation, along with
favorable pricing on Baxa devices for unit dose packaging. According to Dennis DiVenuta, Chief Executive Officer, “This
partnership will allow us to focus on developing Unit Dose Solutions’ capabilities and enhancing our technology to support
scaleable, multi-location operations.” Baxa
Corporation is a customer-focused medical device company that provides innovative, solution-based technologies for fluid handling
and delivery. About Baxa Corporation Baxa systems and devices promote the safe and efficient
preparation, handling, packaging, and administration of fluid medications. Privately held, Baxa Corporation has subsidiaries
