Blog about Pharmaceuticals – Medical devices – Clinical Trials and Health Care

The Centre for Business Intelligence’s 4th Clinical Supply Chain Management Conference taking place at the Hyatt Regency Princeton New Jersey today and tomorrow (30th and 31st July) will provide a forum for discussion on a variety of topics including labelling regulatory compliance, shipping requirements, and how to increase efficiency of labelling operations.

Bob Brunk, PrisymID’s West Coast US Sales Manager is travelling to New Jersey to deliver a presentation focusing on the use of a dedicated Label Management Systems such as Prisym Medica and Prisym Medica ClinTrial. Bob will describe how using a dedicated designed for purpose solution can improve the efficiency of any organisation looking to package and label clinical trial supplies and comply with regulations such as 21 CFR Part 11.

Prisym Medica and Prisym Medica ClinTrial enables many of the worlds largest Clinical Trials outsourcing companies to operate efficiently, and has helped many smaller organisations become more efficient and effective.

Bob will describe some of the advantages that Prisym Medica ClinTrial offers our customers.

• ACCURATE – Through automated version control and Approval Management
• PRECISE – Label designs are easy to create & approve
• COLLABORATIVE – Labels, and Trial Data are centralised and can be access wherever you need it
• FLEXIBLE – Trial data can be randomised or imported
• EFFICIENT – Labels generated at the touch of a button
• COMPLIANT – Everything is audited and secure to 21 CFR Part 11

I have just returned from the very interesting Pharma Packaging and Labelling conference in Barcelona.  While talking to many of the other delegates it was apparent that many drugs and medical device manufacturers have long and complicated processes for label management.  Internal approval of label revisions or new designs could take weeks and in some cases months!

The difficulty being the sheer number of people in disparate locations that need to have input to label design and content from marketing and product development to legal and production managers.  It’s not a problem our customers have as our software provides excellent approvals routing within the system and enables approved label designs to be locked and linked to approved databases.

You can find out more about Prisym Medica on our website. Of course there were many other issues raised throughout the conference particularly around anti counterfeiting, the importance of good design and patient compliance.

I presented on how key industry trends and legislation is impacting labelling management and control and highlighted how technology was helping with these challenges:
