Serialization and unique device identifiers (UDI) deliver compliance. They are NOT the sole mechanism to provide healthcare supply chain protection. BUT, the standardized barcoding and associated data can combine to create a powerful layer of product protection.

Taking serialized information and integrating it effectively throughout the distribution chain—including EVERY level—is critical to stopping counterfeits. This effort may go far beyond the data exchange and reporting required by the regulations. True track and trace of individual items throughout the supply chain is necessary and may be more involved than just what is needed from compliance.

Finally, we can look at purely digital benefits leveraged from these barcodes for assured product authentication and the possibilities for enriched patient engagement.

What We Will Cover:

  • Why supply chain traceability and product authentication capabilities can be essential to protect the healthcare medical device.
  • High-profile use cases and real-world examples of issues as well as the steps taken to solve the problem. Proactively including these techniques can prevent issues from occurring in the first place.
  • How to maximize the value of compliance barcodes and leverage them as a strong authentication layer.

Who Will Benefit:

  • Risk management 

  • Regulatory affairs 

  • Project management / coordinator 

  • Manufacturing  

  • Packaging 

  • Operations 

  • Supply Chain
