Panel only — case sold separately
This listing is the PFC Medication Panel alone. The PFC Pouch is not included. Buy the PFC Pouch separately, or buy the PFC Pouch and Panel Combo for both at a lower total. All medications, vials, and syringes shown in photography are simulated training product and are not included.
The PFC Medication Panel is the high-capacity board in the Blue Tide medication line — built for the provider working a prolonged field care timeline, where the drug list is long, the clock runs in hours, and every vial has to be accounted for afterward. Twenty vial positions plus six syringe slots on a single 2 oz laser-cut thermoplastic board. Berry Amendment and IR/IRR/NIR compliant per the manufacturer. Made in Miami, Florida.

Use cases (when to choose this)
Buy the panel by itself when you already have the housing. Providers running a hard case, a bag lid lined with loop Velcro, a wall board at the aid station, or an existing PFC Pouch do not need a second pouch — they need the board.
- Adding a second panel to a PFC Pouch. The pouch interior carries loop Velcro on both faces and was specified with a second board in mind.
- Retrofitting a hard case. Line the lid with loop Velcro and the panel replaces cut foam — same protection, far better visibility and reconfigurability.
- Prolonged field care and prolonged casualty care loadouts carrying analgesia, sedation, antibiotics, antiemetics, and reversal agents on one platform.
- Aid station and clinic-in-a-bag setups where the board doubles as the working surface.
- Replacing a damaged board without repurchasing the pouch.
If you have no housing yet, buy the combo. The panel is not designed to travel loose.
Setup and use
- Map the board before you load it. Assign each medication a fixed loop position and keep that map identical across every panel on the team. A standard layout is what lets somebody else find your ketamine in the dark.
- Size the loops. The laser-cut loops adjust. Set them to the actual vial diameters in your formulary so nothing walks loose in transport.
- Load the six syringe slots last. Reserve them for prefilled or pre-drawn deliveries you expect to reach for first.
- Seat the panel. Press the hook backing onto a loop face — inside the PFC Pouch, a case lid, or a board.
- Reconcile at every handoff. The layout makes a missing vial obvious at a glance. That only helps if somebody actually looks.
Comparison vs common alternatives
PFC Panel vs the NARCO Panel: the NARCO Panel is the compact controlled-substance board — small footprint, built around a short duty narc list and the paperwork that follows it. The PFC Panel is roughly triple the vial capacity on a larger board. Run NARCO for the duty narc kit; run PFC when the drug list is long and the timeline is not short. Many providers run both in the same pouch.
PFC Panel vs cut foam: foam wins on impact protection and loses on everything else. Cut foam locks one inventory in place, wastes volume, hides gaps, and cannot be reconfigured when the formulary changes. The panel shows the whole loadout in one look.
PFC Panel vs elastic-loop fabric organizers: fabric sags loaded and collapses empty. A rigid thermoplastic board keeps every vial in the same place whether it is full or nearly empty.
FAQ
Q: Is the pouch included?
A: No. This is the panel only. The PFC Pouch is a separate listing, and the PFC Pouch and Panel Combo carries both at a lower total than buying them individually.
Q: Are medications included?
A: No. Everything pictured in the loops is simulated training product, shown for scale and layout reference. This is organizational hardware — you supply the formulary.
Q: What will it mount to besides the PFC Pouch?
A: Any loop Velcro field. Hard case lids, bag panels, wall boards, vehicle organizers. The hook backing does not care what it is attached to.
Q: Will the loops hold a 100 mL vial?
A: The loops adjust across a wide diameter range, but the board is laid out for standard 10 mL and 20 mL multi-dose vials, ampules, and syringes. Oversized bottles will occupy multiple positions or will not seat cleanly. Check your largest container against the 10 in × 6.4 in footprint before committing.
Q: Does Berry Amendment compliance matter to me?
A: Only if you are buying through a federal contract or grant that requires domestic sourcing. Civilian agencies and individual providers get the identical product either way. It is a procurement attribute, not a performance difference.
Q: What does IR / IRR / NIR compliant mean here?
A: The materials are specified not to produce a reflective signature under infrared and near-infrared illumination — the board will not flare when somebody is looking at your position through night vision. That is a materials claim from the manufacturer, not a clinical property.
Q: Does this secure controlled substances?
A: No. It organizes and carries. Security is a function of your agency's lock-and-log policy. This holds the working kit between your locked storage point and the patient.
Note: this is a medication organization device, not a clinical intervention device. The PFC Pouch is sold separately and is not included. Medications, syringes, and supplies depicted in product photography are simulated training product and are not included. Carrying, storing, and documenting medications — controlled or otherwise — remains governed by your licensure, medical direction, and agency policy.
