Affordable Solutions for DSCSA Requirements
The implementation of drug traceability is increasing and developing worldwide. Authorities that aim to protect their citizens from counterfeit drugs and their companies from loss of reputation, are signing official regulations. In the United States, the FDA also expects drug supply chain actors to take action for DSCSA requirements.
In our previous article we published information on DSCSA requirements and timeline. DSCSA, known as the Drug Supply Chain Security Act, was announced in November 2013. In accordance with DSCSA requirements, the serialization of drugs was completed in 2018. Today, an important step remains for the organized implementation of traceability: aggregation.
Aggregation Process in Accordance with DSCSA Requirements
In the US, drugs in circulation are serialized based on the product and shipping unit (bundle-shrink-overwrap, box, pallet). However, DSCSA also requires the aggregation process which means serialized units must be associated with a higher shipping unit and data reporting must be performed.
The non-profit organization HDA Research Foundation, part of the Healthcare Distribution Alliance, has revealed striking data in its research. In its report entitled “Health Services Facts, Figures and Trends (2022-2023), which includes analysis of the pharmaceutical supply chain in America, has been particularly emphasized that there is a lag in aggregation and reporting. According to the report, 40% of pharmaceutical manufacturers in America do not meet aggregation and reporting requirements. Given that there is only a short time until November 2023, solutions must be found in line with DSCSA requirements soon.
Innovative Approach to the Future: VISIOTT TPS Aggregation Solutions
It is beneficial to look at systems that represent innovation for serialization processes before discussing aggregation solutions. The American pharmaceutical industry generally favors the use of bottled packaging. Products that are cost-effective and have strong service in bottled serialization provide advantages to manufacturers. In many countries, VISIOTT TPS technologies are often preferred in traceability activities in bottled, boxed, vial, and flat-packed serialization. It is worth mentioning that VISIOTT TPS’s 360° Bottle Serialization Station is also a pioneering product for the American pharmaceutical industry, like its other serialization technologies.
DSCSA requirements demand the completion of aggregation processes and the reporting of information for a successful traceability system. Aggregation, which creates a hierarchical data process through parent-child relationships between shipping units, must be carried out by high-performance systems.
