Epson, NiceLabel and 3M are coming together to host a webinar on Thursday, 15th July at 7 p.m. BST to discuss life sciences label materials, software and printing solutions and present best practices for managing all of their labelling requirements and ensuring regulatory compliance.
Medical manufacturers and life science organisations are kept under a microscope to ensure critical industry regulations are upheld. At the forefront is product labelling compliance. At every point in the product lifecycle – from manufacture and distribution to lab or medical facility safekeeping and into the hands of the patient or physician – accurate labelling is essential for maintaining patient safety and ensuring efficiency for healthcare stakeholders.
At the foundational level, medical equipment, devices and supplies such as bags, vials, syringes, bottles or tubes, are required to include unique device identifiers (UDI) to track products throughout the healthcare supply chain. With increasing compliance regulations and the logistical challenges managing hundreds or thousands of SKUs, the webinar will look at why medical device manufacturers and life science organisations require a comprehensive labelling solution to streamline operations, ensure compliance and deliver accurate and durable labels.
Andrew Moore, product manager, commercial label printers, Epson, said: “An end-to-end labelling system inclusive of software, hardware and specialised media can make all the difference when it comes to eliminating errors, lost time and unnecessary expenditures. In the medical space especially, it’s critical that the labelling system churns out labels that remain durable and readable to meet guidelines to withstand sterilisation, freeze and thaw cycles, and contact with chemicals and other substances or processes that would typically cause a label to fade or rip.”
3M’s medical label materials are designed for a range of traditionally challenging labels such as those with tight radiuses or small diameters, flexible surfaces, hard to-stick-to LSE materials, and more. NiceLabel Label Cloud Compliance, the world’s first validation-ready, multi-tenant cloud labelling solution, unites every labelling task on one platform – from design to management to print. Built for companies in regulated industries, Label Cloud Compliance provides manufacturers of all sizes with robust labelling technology, security and system availability without significant investment in IT infrastructure and maintenance.
Susan Gosnell, Loftware’s NiceLabel product marketing manager, said: “Recognising a need in the market, we built Label Cloud Compliance for companies to meet evolving regulatory requirements. Digital approval workflows, automated mass label changes and a 12-year print history all provide a more streamlined way to manage labelling in a regulated environment.”
During the hour-long webinar, Epson will also showcase the General Data PAC5 colour label print-and-apply label applicator, which automates the application of labels. It is designed to streamline and simplify label printing and application. NiceLabel’s software solutions, as well as 3M’s medical label materials and the General Data PAC5 applicator integrate with Epson’s ColorWorks label printers, creating an end-to-end labelling solution for streamlining and simplifying labelling and compliance.
