Innovative Medical Services Introduces ScanMaster to Chain Executives at NACDS; Leading Dispensing Technology Provides Certainty and Safety
SAN DIEGO--(BW HealthWire)--Sept. 2, 1999--Innovative Medical Services (Nasdaq:PURE) today announced the introduction of its new ScanMaster(TM) at the National Association of Chain Drug Stores 1999 Pharmacy Conference & Managed Care Forum in San Diego.
Developed as an enhancement to the company's Fillmaster 1000e computerized pharmaceutical water dispenser, the ScanMaster enhances prescription dispensing by adding the assurance and efficiency of bar code reading technology.

"Response to the ScanMaster has been overwhelmingly positive here at NACDS. It is clear that in addition to the enhanced efficiency, safety and compliance features, chain drug executives value the ScanMaster's capability to interface with large dispensing systems currently installed in chain pharmacies," stated Michael Krall, President and CEO of Innovative Medical Services. "Such an interface provides a complete dispensing solution for pharmacy."

William L. "Buck" Stevens, R.Ph., Executive Director of the Mississippi State Board of Pharmacy and NACDS Member, commented, "Pharmacy is changing quickly and we now have revolutionary technologies available as solutions for today's challenges in pharmacy. Progress will be achieved through the implementation and integration of the best of the technologies into a comprehensive, total solution."

Stevens continued, "The ScanMaster and Fillmaster products exemplify the types of technology that are crucial to advancing the industry."

The ScanMaster is a pager-sized, plug-in modular upgrade to the company's popular Fillmaster(R) 1000e computerized pharmaceutical water dispenser. Users simply scan a prescription's NDC bar code in front of the dispenser, and the Fillmaster 1000e displays the product name and required water quantity. The prescription is then dispensed with one touch of a button. The ScanMaster's database contains proprietary and generic oral drug types by manufactures including Bristol-Meyers Squibb Co. (NYSE:BMY), Apothecon, SmithKline Beecham (NYSE:SBH), Wyeth-Ayerst Laboratories, Eli Lilly & Co. (NYSE:LLY) and many others.
