Client Testimonials

Why do customers like working with IDS?

Where should EMS crews store their temperature-sensitive supplies?

Bring refrigerated medications and supplies under the same control as the rest of your inventory. The UCapIt Compact Refrigerated Healthcare & Medical Supply Vending Machine pairs a built-in refrigeration system with secure dispensing and iQ Technology, in a cabinet narrow enough for tight spaces in your station.

  • ✓

    Protected Stock: Medications stay in a climate-controlled cabinet built for product longevity, instead of a shared refrigerator that anyone can open.

  • ✓

    Provider Accountability: Every withdrawal ties to a provider through two-factor identification, so your agency always knows who took what and when, including every narcotic.

  • ✓

    Less Waste: Controlled stock levels and real-time counts keep refrigerated medications moving, so fewer of them are written off at expiration.

  • ✓

    Cost Savings: Eliminate waste and save money on replacement costs due to spoilage or improper storage.

  • ✓

    Station Readiness: Low-stock alerts flag items before a station runs short, so you’re ready to reorder at a moment’s notice.

Unique Selections Trays can be configured for up to 36 unique selections, which covers the focused set of refrigerated items a station uses most. Trays can be configured for up to 60 unique selections, so one machine can hold a wide range of refrigerated medications and supplies.
Typical Capacity A typical setup holds about 412 items, with capacity varying depending on tray configurations. A typical setup holds about 664 items.
Footprint The cabinet is 29.5" (75 cm) wide, about 11.5" narrower than the High-Capacity machine, with the same 72" height and 38" depth. The cabinet is 41" (104 cm) wide, with a height of 72" and a depth of 38".
Common Placements The machine often serves individual stations, satellite stations, and supply rooms where floor space is limited or call volume is lighter. The machine often serves headquarters stations, central supply rooms, and busy stations that restock many units each shift.
Restocking A smaller load is quicker to restock and easier to keep lean, which suits stations with lighter or more focused usage. Higher capacity means more stock fits between refills, which suits stations with heavy, steady call volume.

Many agencies pair a refrigerated machine with a standard UCapIt vending machine or ClearVision Smart Locker at the same station, so refrigerated medications, everyday supplies, and high-value equipment all report into one unified system.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a refrigerated medical supply vending machine?

A refrigerated medical supply vending machine is a secured, climate-controlled dispensing system that stores temperature-sensitive medications and supplies and releases them only to authorized crew members. Every transaction is recorded, so your agency always knows what's on hand, who took it, and when.

How many items can the UCapIt Compact Refrigerated Healthcare & Medical Supply Vending Machine hold?

Capacity depends on how you configure your trays. A typical setup holds roughly 412 items across up to 36 unique selections. You can give your most-used medications additional space or configure the machine for maximum variety. Your UCapIt rep will help you build the layout around your agency's actual usage.

Why use a refrigerated vending machine instead of a standard medication refrigerator?

A standard medication refrigerator keeps stock cold, but it doesn't control who opens it or record what leaves it. The UCapIt Compact Refrigerated Healthcare & Medical Supply Vending Machine keeps medications cold and locked, ties every withdrawal to a provider, and tracks stock levels in real time, so refrigerated medications get the same accountability as the rest of your inventory.

When does a compact refrigerated machine make more sense than a high-capacity refrigerated machine?

When a station needs controlled cold storage for a focused set of medications. At 29.5" wide with up to 36 selections, the UCapIt Compact Refrigerated Healthcare & Medical Supply Vending Machine fits individual stations and supply rooms where floor space is limited or call volume is lighter. Many agencies pair Compact machines at outlying stations with a High-Capacity machine at headquarters.

What refrigerated medications are commonly stored in the machine?

Agencies commonly store RSI medications such as refrigerated paralytics, refrigerated controlled substances and narcotics, and vaccines for community paramedicine and crew immunization programs. Configurable trays handle vials, prefilled syringes, and boxed medications, so your UCapIt rep can build the layout around your agency's protocols.

Can the compact machine store refrigerated narcotics?

Yes. Narcotics stay locked in the machine until an authorized provider completes two-factor identification. Every access is logged with the provider, the medication, the quantity, and the time, which gives your agency a complete record for narcotic counts and audits.

How do controlled access permissions work?

Each crew member identifies with an employee number, badge or fob, or biometrics, then confirms with a unique four-digit PIN. Permissions are tied to role, so a paramedic and an EMT can see different items at the same machine. You can also set limits on how much of an item anyone can take in a given period.

Can a compact vending machine help reduce expired refrigerated medications?

Yes. iQ Technology can flag medications as they approach their expiration date, so stock gets used or rotated before it lapses. Controlled inventory levels also help, because fewer extra units sit in the refrigerator waiting to expire.

How much does a refrigerated medical supply vending machine cost?

The cost depends on how many machines you need, how they're configured, and what medications and supplies you plan to store. UCapIt scopes each solution to the agency rather than offering one set price. Leasing and financing options are available to reduce upfront cost.
