Autoinjector Label Provides Authentication with NFC Chip

Schreiner MediPharm’s (schreiner-group.com) new Autoinjector-Label wraps around the autoinjector, including the cap, and has an integrated NFC chip that is read with a smartphone app. Before opening the cap for the first time, patients can verify that the product is an original and receive respective confirmation.

After opening the cap and label, and subsequently reading the NFC chip once more, patients receive a warning on their smartphones that indicates whether the product was previously opened and/or tampered with, enabling them to check the intactness of the injection aid from anywhere at any time. 

Pharmaceutical manufacturers can integrate additional interactive applications in the label such as product information, demo videos or special apps to optimally support patients during self-medication. Additionally, integrated geo-tracking makes it possible to detect potential gray market activities in local markets. The digital Autoinjector-Label for NFC-based tamper evidence can easily be adapted to existing label designs and does not affect the normal application of the device by the patient.

Schreiner MediPharm’s smart new NFC label solution enhances product and patient safety and supports the integrity of the supply chain.
