The medical industry is related to the people's lives and health, and the control of counterfeit and anti-counterfeiting has become the top priority to protect the health and safety of consumers. For example, the food and Drug Administration (FDA) has implemented the medical product identification regulations, and all products and devices are required to have a unique identification code (UDI), that is, drugs and spare parts medical devices are required to be marked.
Needs of medical product manufacturers
In the medical industry, identification code marks are mainly reflected in drugs and medical equipment. Because the ink-jet marking method is easy to fall off and cause tampering, it often fails to meet the safety standards of the medical industry due to toxic substances contained in the coating and environmental pollution. In this environment, the medical industry urgently needs a processing product that is both conducive to product control and safe and environmental protection to prevent undesirable merchants from mixing undesirable medical products into hospitals and endangering human health. Therefore, laser marking, a new generation of marking method with "contactless" processing, green environmental protection and anti shedding, has become a new technology that subverts the medical industry.
Benefits of laser marking to medical industry
Laser marking is a physical removal processing method. The printed product identification is not easy to wear and change, and has strong anti-counterfeiting and uniqueness. It easily realizes "one medicine, one code", which brings great benefits to medical product manufacturers. It is perfectly matched with the medical device product traceability system, which can maximize the safety and controllability of products and avoid product tampering.
Application of laser marking on drugs
The laser marking machine can easily mark the two-dimensional code and drug supervision code on the drug box or drug package, helping the product trace the source, with authenticity and traceability. The drug supervision code printed by laser helps the drug supervision department to comprehensively monitor the production, delivery, circulation, transportation, savings, distribution and other processes.
Application of laser marking in medical equipment
Using laser marking machine to mark medical equipment such as stainless steel surgical and dental equipment is easier to read. After countless times of disinfection and cleaning, the marks are still clearly visible, and bacteria can be effectively prevented from adhering to the surface of the equipment.
