FMD is a constant source of trouble: genuine alerts or carelessness result in suspicions of counterfeiting, which are automatically reported to the authorities.
medAspis prevents virtually all critical alerts before the pack data is even sent for verification. For the few that remain, there are clear and easy-to-understand instructions for taking action, so that your scanning staff react correctly to any alert and quarantine situations do not occur in the first place.
Many everyday situations lead to alerts that may indicate a suspicion of counterfeiting. This happens much more often than you think:
An FMD alert message indicates that a counterfeit medicine has been found or a possible counterfeit is present. Every single suspected case must be investigated. The following two cases are critical:
Affected packs must be separated until the problem is solved. This costs time and ties up personnel. The alerts are automatically reported to authorities and manufacturers by the NVMO. Therefore, within the scope of efficiency and quality assurance, it is crucial to avoid alerts and to react correctly to alerts when they occur.
medAspis now has the entire FMD process perfectly under control. That’s why we can promise you not only extremely fast and efficient, but also virtually error-free processing:
We have analysed all alert situations in detail and can eliminate over 80% of alert messages before they occur. Lean FMD filters out virtually every FMD alert that would otherwise be sent to the NMVS and trigger authority-relevant alerts.
You can rely 100% on medAspis if an alert does occur. We provide all participants with exactly the information they need in their position. Clear, well structured, quality-assuring and productivity-promoting. So everybody knows for sure what to do on the spot. And the authorities are also satisfied. The FMD process cannot get any safer.
