                  The statement on Schedule 13D (the "Original Schedule 13D")
dated September 9, 1992, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by
MEDIQ Incorporated ("MEDIQ") and MEDIQ Investment Services, Inc. ("MIS", and
together with MEDIQ, the "Reporting Persons") with respect to beneficial
ownership of Common stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), of
PCI Services, Inc. (the "Issuer") is hereby amended as provided herein.

Item 2.           Identity and Background.  Item 2 is amended by adding
                  the following:

                  The names, business or residence addresses and present
principal occupations of the directors and executive officers of the Reporting
Persons are attached on Schedule I. All such persons are citizens of the United
States. During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons or such
persons have been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic
violations or similar misdemeanors); or have been a party to a civil proceeding
of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction resulting in a
judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting
or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding
any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 4.           Purpose of Transaction.  Item 4 is amended in its
                  entirety and restated to read as follows:

                  In January and February, 1996, representatives of MEDIQ met
with management of the Issuer further to explore how best to accomplish MEDIQ's
previously announced intention to realize the value of its investment in the
Issuer by a sale of its shares of the Issuer's capital stock or other
transaction, and to establish a process for realizing this value in a manner
that could be shared by all of the Company's stockholders. As a result of these
meetings, a representative from MEDIQ'S board of directors was invited to
participate with the Issuer and the Issuer's investment bankers in exploring
strategic alternatives available to the Issuer, including a possible sale of the
Issuer.


                  In addition, following these meetings and in response to a
request by MEDIQ, the board of directors of the Issuer nominated for election as
directors of the Issuer, for election at the 1996 annual meeting of the Issuer's
stockholders, six individuals, three of whom were existing directors of the
Issuer and the other three of whom, Michael J. Rotko, Sheldon M. Bonovitz and H.
Scott Miller, presently are directors of MEDIQ (and in the case of Mr. Rotko,
Chairman of the Board of Directors). These individuals were elected as directors
of the Issuer at the Issuer's 1996 Annual Meeting, held March 29, 1996.

                  The Reporting Persons do not believe that they have formed a
"group" as defined by Rule 13d-5(b)(1) to the Securities and Exchange Act of
1934 with any person, and expressly disclaim that they are members of any such
group.

                  The Reporting Persons have no immediate intentions regarding
any plans or proposals which relate to or which would result in any of the
actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, except
as described herein. However, the Reporting Persons intend to review on a
continuing basis their investment in the Issuer and may in the future alter
their intentions.


Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer. Item 5 is amended by deleting
paragraph (a) in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof the following:

(a) As of the date hereof, MEDIQ and MIS are the beneficial owners of 2,875,000
shares of Common Stock. Based upon the Issuer's Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended September 30, 1995, 6,126,250 shares of Common Stock were outstanding on
December 1, 1995. MEDIQ and MIS' Common Stock holdings represent approximately
46.9% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding. Information regarding the
beneficial ownership of shares of common stock by the persons identified on
Schedule 1 hereto is set forth on such schedule.
