Murata will present the small RAIN RFID Tag at Pharmapack Europe (Stand C20), 18-19 May 2022. Intended to give an exceptional identifier, the tag empowers RFID perusers to decide the thing's character and validness in medical care applications. The little yet vigorous RFID Tags can be fitted to metallic and non-metallic surfaces, ideal for use on smaller equipment. To keep away from any gamble of defilement during the medication filling activities, they can likewise be implanted into the item, like pre-filled needles, vials and cartridges.
 

As a forerunner in multi-facet artistic substrates, Murata incorporated radio wire in multi-facet fired substrates to make a small and powerful RFID tag fit for programmed recognizable proof and mass perusing of over 400units/min for high through put effectiveness. This capacity permits ongoing recognizable proof at full creation speeds, forestalling any mistake during drug filling activities. The RFID labels additionally give thing level serialization, subsequently restricting bunch isolation should a deformity be found in the reseller's exchange.
 

“New regulations for product traceability and quality control in the production line from health authorities like the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and USP (US Pharmacopeia) are driving the healthcare industry to identify and authenticate individual products from the cradle to the grave,” says Teppei Miura, General Manager, Murata ID Solutions. “The small RAIN RFID tag is perfect for identifying products, such as pre-filled vials and syringes and single-use injectors, during high-speed production processes as well as providing traceability for authentication in the aftermarket.”
Conventional tracking of pre-filled vials and syringes requires a QR code as an applied label or printed directly onto the product’s surface. Unlike RFID tags, which support bulk reading, QR codes are read individually, slowing down production. As these biochemical products require strict temperature control, condensation can also make it difficult to scan the QR code. Retrofit labels also pose a potential risk of contamination during the filling processes.
 

Embedding the RAIN RFID tag directly into the component of the vial and syringe overcomes these challenges with no risk of contamination or impact on visual inspection; it also takes out the process step of applying the QR code. And, as all the pertinent information remains with the item, manual input errors are eliminated.
 

In the aftermarket, benefits of using RAIN RFID tags include navigation by users, such as instruction for use, and third-party drug and counterfeit drug prevention. For rechargeable insulin injectors, the RFID tags can also be used as part of the connected ecosystem to send usage data to the cloud for patient monitoring purposes.
