This implementation guide is intended to guide healthcare stakeholders through the process of implementing the GS1 System for Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC) in healthcare.
AIDC Standards for Healthcare trade items are incorporated within GS1 General Specifications. The result is a voluntary standard providing Healthcare industry stakeholders with a common set of data and data carriers to be applied to medical products at every packaging level. This includes specific guidance on selection and use of appropriate GS1 Product Identification Keys, additional product and production data (for example, batch/lot, expiration date, and/or serial number), and GS1 Data Carriers (such as linear barcodes, 2-dimensional barcodes and radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags).
This document is intended for parties within the healthcare supply chain who are responsible for the selection of data and data carriers, the labelling of healthcare products, and parties that scan/read the data carriers.
Main sections:
· Type of products in scope
· Healthcare product marking
· GS1 identification keys and additional data used in this document
· GS1 Data carriers
· Implementation procedures
· Use cases
· Appendix: Supply chain roles and definitions
· Appendix: Frequently asked questions
