Compliance Guide for Pharmaceutical labelling Materials

Sterile pharmaceutical production is expected to grow by over 50% in the next seven years, driven by new demand for recombinant antibodies and small molecules. Consequently, the fill/finish stage in pharmaceutical manufacturing is becoming a bottleneck in the pharmaceutical production . Health authorities and regulators are also demanding enhanced traceability during the manufacture of parenteral medicines as the most common processes and technologies in place are reaching their limitations . Addressing this challenge means boosting Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE) while meeting rising regulatory demands. This presentation explores an innovative solution to address this dual challenge: Container-level traceability (CUID). This pioneering approach utilizes RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) to ensure accountability for each container in the fill-finish processes, down to the individual unit. In the short term, CUID can mitigate exposure to mix-up, improve OEE through automated reconciliation, and cut waste with unit-by-unit segregation. Beyond this, CUID has the potential to eliminate data silos and bridge the gap between each manufacturing process step. Manufacturers can harness advanced data analytics to unveil hidden patterns, identify process inefficiencies, and detect trends and anomalies that were previously unnoticed. Becton Dickinson selected RFID technology for pre-fillable syringes based on the relatively low impact on existing manufacturing lines and the high potential for future applications. In collaboration with Avery Dennison Smartrac, a leading provider of RFID inlay solutions, BD has conducted a proof of concept and will demonstrate the feasibility of the solution through a video of BD’s RFID Demonstration Lab and a live demo.
