Schreiner MediPharm presents the new RFID-labels with digital seal function

Schreiner MediPharm, a leading developer and manufacturer of innovative functional labels for the healthcare industry, recently presented a new RFID-Label with digital first-opening indication at CPHI in Milan.

The critical role of traceability

Digitalization is a growing trend in the healthcare sector for automating processes, enhancing product safety, and avoiding medication errors. Labels with an integrated RFID chip play an important role in this regard since they are used for product marking while simultaneously enabling clear digital identification of each individual medicine container. That is a decisive prerequisite for complete end-to-end tracking of the containers within the supply chain.

Check integrity at any level

However, in hectic daily hospital settings it must also be ensured that the integrity of the prefilled syringe or vial is intact before administering the medication. This is exactly where the novel RFID-Label with an integrated digital seal function from Schreiner MediPharm comes into play. Thanks to its special design, it irreversibly indicates the first opening of the container, enabling automated tracking of its integrity. That not only facilitates work for healthcare staff but also optimizes inventory management because unused drugs can be efficiently returned to stock. At the same time, possible diversions and abuse of medicines can be monitored.

Protecting labels to reduce risks

The new solution from Schreiner MediPharm additionally features a special label construction reliably protecting the integrated chip against mechanical stress and impacts during the pharmaceutical production process and on high-speed dispensing systems. Thus, the digital seal can be reliably read out from production to final use. That is an important aspect to ensure seamless tracking of the drug on unit level and enhancing product and patient safety.
