With Cap-Lock for vials, Schreiner MediPharm, in collaboration with the CDMO OECHSLERhealth, presents a innovative solution for first opening indication, both analog and digital. This solution addresses the main challenges related to product integrity, patient safety, and the digitization of primary packaging, and was first presented at Pharmapack, Paris.
The integrity of primary packaging is crucial for a secure pharmaceutical supply chain. For vials, flip-top caps have limitations, as tampering attempts often go undetected. At the same time, there is a growing demand for digital solutions to further automate processes throughout the supply chain and increase its transparency. In response to these needs, Schreiner MediPharm, in collaboration with OECHSLERhealth, a global partner in medical device industrialization, has developed an innovative Cap-Lock solution specifically for vials.
La Cap-Lock label Schreiner MediPharm's product is based on a special, innovative design with irreversible first-opening indication. A plastic cap designed by OECHSLERhealth It is placed over the sealed vial and permanently couples with the flip-top cap. Since the cap and vial have the same diameter, the Schreiner MediPharm label can be easily applied to both. When the vial is opened, the Cap-Lock label is irreversibly destroyed, making the initial opening clearly visible; it is impossible to replace the cap without being detected.
In addition to the analog safety function, Cap-Lock for vials offers various digital options. integrated RFID chip The label allows for digital notification of the first opening and tracking of each vial individually. As a result, previously opened containers are automatically recognized, and medication management processes are optimized, for example, in hospitals. Furthermore, the integrated NFC functionality enables simple digital authentication via smartphone, thus contributing to product and brand protection.
Cap-Lock for vials fits all commonly used vial sizes.
