Merwin were led at their stand by their President, Gladys Mónica Depaolini, who presented printing solutions for the pharmaceutical industry such as the inc.jet model, which is small, light and simple, facilitating label printing for products with ink that cannot be altered and is guaranteed to last. Merwin also exhibited the Rapid X-1 which includes fast printing technology for labels on spools or pre-stamped white labels. Designed to fulfill all labeling needs, the X1 is equipped with a de-spooler and a re-spooler with a maximum length of 305mm. The Rapid X-1 is ideal for pre-finalized labels that can then be used in other marking systems. It is very useful for small and mid-sized print runs.
Neopic Technologies offered practical demonstrations in partnership with Zebra of their self-identification solutions for large and small medication shipments. As Lionel Cymerman, Neopic’s IT Director explained, the new TrazaMed system, integrated with ANMAT, includes RFID technology – radiofrequency identification – with different antenna-based reader models that make it possible to recognize data stored on medication containers. A more sophisticated system offered by the company enables clients to manage large volumes of medications, and involves their identification via a reader system that can recognize the data stored with each container on a chip rather than a label.
Zebra Technologies, led by Yolanda Quintero, presented its identification bracelet printers: the HC100 Printer which comes in different sizes for different kinds of patient, from babies to adults and old people. It also presented pharmaceutical labeling solutions used to identify each patients’ prescription. The labels can be printed at the pharmacy using a PC and a Zebra desktop printer or in the patient’s room using a hand terminal and a Zebra portable printer with a wireless connection.
Selis Soluciones announced that its identification bracelets have been adopted by the FLENI Neurological Institute. They take information directly from the institution’s clinical information system for use with the patients. So any doctor or person at the institution can get information about the patient they are treating immediately and without errors. SELIS also provides printers of thermal bracelets and offers technical support throughout the implementation and set-up of the system, thus meeting the security regulations for patient identification.
