Product Overview

RFID Technology continues to garner adherents in hospital pharmacy systems. The technology enables real-time scanning that optimizes inventory management, efficiency, and medication safety while creating quantifiable pharmaceutical supply chain benefits by providing item level inventory visibility down to NDC and lot. Recognizing the advantages that RFID technology presents IMI joined industry consortium DoseID to help increase interoperability, quality, and performance of RFID tagged products. Tamper Evident Caps with RFID provide a labor-reducing solution to incorporating RFID into your drug doses. With a simple twist of a syringe, your CSPs are equipped with renowned tamper evident protection and powerful analytic automation capabilities. These two powerful technologies in combination enhance workflow efficiencies, eliminate time-consuming manual inventory control processes, provide assistance with growing regulatory demand, and supply a comprehensive strategy to prevent, detect, and resolve drug diversion events. In addition, by incorporating RFID technology into IMI’s Industry-leading Tamper Evident Caps, facilities can significantly reduce their cost of RFID implementation with little time-to-live and minimal staff investment, procedural changes, or capital investments.
