Client Testimonials
Take control of refrigerated medications and supplies. The UCapIt High-Capacity Refrigerated Healthcare & Medical Supply Vending Machine pairs a built-in refrigeration system with secure dispensing and iQ Technology, with room for the full range of cold-storage stock your agency carries in one place.
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.
Room for Your Full Refrigerated Formulary: Up to 60 unique selections means RSI medications, vaccines, prefilled syringes, and other cold-storage supplies can all live in one secure machine instead of spread across several refrigerators.
Less Waste: Controlled stock levels and real-time counts keep refrigerated medications moving, so fewer of them are written off at expiration.
Cost Savings: Save money and reduce waste by ensuring that medications are stored properly and don’t have to be thrown out or replaced unnecessarily.
Order Forecasting: Usage data by station and provider shows what your agency actually uses, so orders are based on real consumption instead of estimates, and your budget goes further.
Station Readiness: Low-stock alerts flag items before a station runs short, so you're ready to reorder at a moment's notice.

Our iQ Technology transforms the IDS Medical Supply Vending Solution into an intelligent machine that helps you make better business decisions.
IDS solutions go beyond just a piece of equipment. Based in Des Moines, Iowa, we work as consultants to understand the challenges you face, deliver an industrial inventory management solution, and keep refining it alongside you as your business grows.
A high-capacity refrigerated medical supply vending machine is a secured, climate-controlled dispensing system that stores a wide range of 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.
Capacity depends on how you configure your trays. A typical setup holds roughly 664 items across up to 60 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.
A high-capacity machine is the better fit when one location supplies multiple stations or units, or when your agency carries a wide range of refrigerated medications. It serves as a central refrigerated supply point, so supply officers can restock outlying stations from one secure, tracked source. A compact refrigerated machine works well at individual stations that need a smaller set of medications close at hand. Many agencies pair the two, with every machine reporting into the same iQ Technology portal.
A standard medication refrigerator keeps stock cold, but it doesn't control who opens it or record what leaves it. The UCapIt High-Capacity 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.
Agencies typically store medications that lose potency at room temperature, such as paralytics like succinylcholine and rocuronium, benzodiazepines like lorazepam, and certain cardiac medications. Some agencies also store insulin, vaccines, or temperature-sensitive diagnostic supplies. Your UCapIt rep will help you build the layout around your protocols and the medications your crews actually use.
Yes. iQ Technology can flag medications as they approach their expiration date, so stock gets used or rotated before it lapses. Usage data also shows how much of each medication your stations actually go through, so you can set stock levels that keep a large machine full without extra units sitting in the refrigerator waiting to expire.
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.
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.
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, and a UCapIt rep can run an ROI projection from your agency's current usage and write-offs before you commit.
