French CIP13

All pharmaceutical products distributed in France must have a data matrix barcode, incorporating the CIP13 code, batch number and expiration date by December 31, 2010. In order to comply with this requirement, manufacturers of affected products for sale in France must invest in new print and verify solutions on their packaging lines.

For over two decades, Systech has been providing mission critical packaging inspection to the pharmaceutical industry. Systech's productized solution can be the core of a proven approach to print and verify functionality required by French CIP13 regulations. Systech's Sentri product is purpose built for use in cGMP environments and is designed to meet 21 CFR Part 11 requirements. In a packaging environment, product requirements are stored on secure recipes managed by Sentri. Operators can select the product they are going to package with a single entry thus minimizing setup and changeover time. Sentri initializes printing and inspection operations and guides the operator through the entry of variable information necessary to print the required French CIP13 codes. Each printed data matrix barcode is inspected to exacting standards with Systech's industry leading flexible data matrix barcode verification and other configurable vision tools.

In addition to meeting current CIP13 requirements, the Sentri is a scalable productized offering which can be combined with other Systech products and applications to enable a complete Packaging Execution System (PES) infrastructure.
