How to manage effective medical device recalls?

Our barcodes ensure accurate recording of product movement, from arrival at the hospital to application to the patient. They allow for more effective recall management.

With the help of GS1 barcodes, hospitals can:

  • Identify whether recalled products are within their facilities
  • Enable targeted activity during a recall situation
  • Improve patient safety by being able to pinpoint impacted patients  more accurately and quickly
