Fagron Sterile Services provides automated data access to help hospitals adopt RFID for visibility

Pharmaceutical compounding company Fagron Sterile Services (FSS) is preparing to build radio frequency identification technology into some of its single-use drugs, beginning in February 2022.

Hospitals employing Kit Check RFID systems can then automatically capture data regarding those products and track inventory, expirations dates and recalls.

Fagron Sterile Services entered the U.S. market for compounding in 2010. It sells products directly to hospitals or physicians, Olsheim explains, and it provides medications to millions of patients around the world annually. Recently, some of its customers have requested that FSS build passive UHF RFID tags into the labels of its products so they can be automatically read via Kit Check's RFID-enabled Scanning Stations when the goods are received at hospitals.
