Fresenius Kabi Expands RFID Compatibility to Improve Hospital Inventory Management

 

Fresenius Kabi announced that its growing +RFID portfolio of radio frequency tagged medications is now compatible with AmerisourceBergen’s medication tray solution. AmerisourceBergen is a global health care company and one of the largest pharmaceutical distributors in the United States.

AmerisourceBergen’s medication tray solution is designed to help hospitals improve medication inventory visibility and tracking using advanced Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology.

Fresenius Kabi +RFID medications are now fully compatible with AmerisourceBergen’s medication tray solution.

Fresenius Kabi +RFID medications feature a high-performance RAIN RFID tag embedded in the label that contains relevant data hospitals rely on to immediately identify, locate and manage their inventory. Necessary product information, including the NDC code, expiration date, lot number and serial number, is accessible from the tag, which can now be read by AmerisourceBergen’s medication tray solution.

AmerisourceBergen’s medication tray technology is an automated solution for kit and tray inventory management which minimizes complexity by tracking dispensed products, flagging expiration dates, and locating products in the event of a recall.
