Professional Poppitt

How It Works

Pop tablets and capsules from blister packaging with ease when preparing monitored dosage systems.


Uses

Pop tablets and capsules from blister packaging with ease when preparing monitored dosage systems. Prevent and reduce repetitive strain injury (RSI), usually developed by dispensers preparing dosage compliance services which requires popping many tablets and capsules from modern blister packaging by using the Professional Poppitt machine.

Design

The Professional Poppitt machine is now available only in the blue colours - due to decreased demand for the green version.

The colour represents the universal medical colours and the sleek model has been designed by a pharmacist under Duty of Care. Complete with a stainless steel plate which allows cleaning and includes a spare drawer which complies with the FDA regulations.

All machines have a one year guarantee.

Reduced Risk of RSI

Injuries are currently being experienced by dispensers whilst undertaking the preparation of dosage compliance services, which requires the popping' of many tablets and capsules from modern blister packaging. We have developed this simple device to resolve the risk of RSI.

Breakages

Tablets are being enclosed in blister packaging under the requirements of European legislation. Unfortunately the compression strength of the enclosed tablets can, in some cases, be weaker than the tensile breaking strength of the foil packaging.

Take care when using the Professional Poppitt machine to open various blister packaged pills.


Operation

The Professional Poppitt machine swiftly pushes out tablets and capsules from blister packets. The machine operates using a micro-switch which is built into the device. Pills are collected into a drawer ready for dispense into Monitor Dosage Systems. It is suggested that dispensing technicians initially practise the technique by utilising ‘out of date’ stock.

Benefits


Time Saving

The simple operation of the Professional Poppitt ensures that tablets and capsules can be swiftly removed from blister packaging without wasting time. The popping of tablets by hand can be extremely time consuming and our device can help reduce the time it takes to do so.

Safety


CE Marked

The Poppitt Company verifies that the Professional Poppitt device, together with the associated power pack complies with the following directives:

Electrical Equipment (Low Voltage) Directive 2014/35/EU

IC 115 - RoHS Directive 2011/65/CE

Electromagnetic Compatibility (Europe) Directive 2014/30/EU


Care

It is important to use the device correctly. Breakages occur when pressure is applied to heavily scored tablets. Some brands of tablets are also very thin and soft. Be wary of pills sticking, many Parallel Imports have sticky labels attached to the underside by the importers. They are not always carefully positioned and prevent ‘pills’ from being ejected easily.

We offer a 12 month warranty on the Professional Poppitt device, covering all working parts.

**After the 12 month warranty period, we offer a ‘return to workshop’ service at a price of £75.00 plus parts (ex-factory price).
