Schreiner MediPharm<\/a>, a Germany-based global provider of innovative functional label solutions for the healthcare industry, will showcase its new RFID label with digital first-opening indication at Pack Expo 2024<\/a>, November 3-6 in Chicago. The new solution \u2013 which irreversibly indicates a container\u2019s initial opening, and enables automated integrity tracking \u2013 will be among those displayed at the company\u2019s Booth W-16094. \u00a0<\/p>\n Digitization and process automation are increasingly sought-after in healthcare settings, as such setups increase product safety and avoid medication errors. Labels with integrated RFID<\/a> chips can play an important role, since they are used for product marking while simultaneously enabling unique unit-dose digital IDs. This is a decisive prerequisite for complete end-to-end tracking of containers within the supply chain. However, in hectic hospital settings it must also be ensured that the integrity of prefilled syringes or vials has not been compromised prior to medication administration.<\/p>\n Schreiner MediPharm’s new RFID label comprises an integrated digital sealing function whose design irreversibly indicates a container\u2019s initial opening, and enables automated integrity tracking. This eliminates the need to manually check whether the container has already been opened. This not only makes work easier for medical staff, but also optimizes inventory management, since unused medication can be efficiently returned to stock. At the same time, possible diversions and medication misuse can be monitored.<\/p>\n
