What changed

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued patent US12585721B2 to ConsortiEX Inc. for a "Single barcode scan cast system for pharmaceutical products." This patent covers systems and methods for distributing pharmaceutical product information, specifically detailing a transmitter device that scans product barcodes and sends the information to a receiver device. The receiver then determines and transmits a relevant subset of this information to a software application on an electronic device.

This patent grant represents a new technological development in pharmaceutical product information management. While not a regulatory rule, it may influence future compliance strategies for drug manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies regarding product tracking, information dissemination, and supply chain integrity. Compliance officers should be aware of such technological advancements that could impact regulatory adherence or create new operational efficiencies in the future.

Abstract

Systems and methods for distributing pharmaceutical product information. The system includes a transmitter device and a receiver device. The transmitter device includes a first electronic processor and first communications interface communicatively connected to both of a barcode scanner and to a first electronic communications device. The receiver device includes a second electronic processor and a second communications interface communicatively connected to a second electronic communications device. The first electronic processor is configured to receive from the barcode scanner, via the first communications interface, scanned product information of a product, and transmit the scanned product information to the receiver device. The second electronic processor is configured to receive the scanned product information, determine, from the scanned product information, a subset of product information relevant to a software application of the second electronic communications device, and transmit, to the second electronic communications device, the subset of product information.
