Lock & Key
Key-Lock Principle: Communication between Medication and Medical Device
A medical device or piece of diagnostic equipment is provided with an RFID reader (= lock). In a contactless and automated process, it reads a consumable equipped with an RFID-Label (= key)—such as a medication, a sample container, or reagent vessel. The data stored on the RFID chip (product code, dose, signature, etc.) ensure that only authentic products are used. Application errors due to an expired product or wrong dosing are avoided.
Possible Applications
- Injection devices
- Pens
- Adherence monitoring tools
- Laboratory equipment
- Diagnostic devices
Benefits
- Enhances patient safety during drug administration and self-medication
- Prevents use of expired, wrong, or counterfeit medicines and consumables
- Helps avoid drug delivery and dosing errors
- Prevents illegal reuse and misuse of original containers
Patient Support
The SmartPilot™ from Ypsomed is an electronic complement to the UnoPen™ and the YpsoMate® autoinjector. It supports patients in the contexts of self-medication and involvement in therapy adherence. An NFC-Label from Schreiner MediPharm combines the SmartPilot™ with the injection aid and facilitates its use for the patient.
