Presentation Summary

This presentation was given jointly with Shahram Moradpour, Sun Microsystems, United States

Counterfeit pharmaceuticals and biologics are a growing problem affecting patient safety
RFID minimizes the risk of counterfeited and diverted product by allowing companies to track each drug as it moves through the supply chain
RFID coupled with Electronic Product Code (EPC) and electronic pedigrees are key elements recommended by the FDA to combat counterfeit drugs
Companies can gain business value in expedited returns processing and more precise recalls in addition to operational efficiencies
