NGDA renews scan­ner test for the secur­Ph­arm sys­tem

For seve­ral years now, veri­fy­ing aut­ho­ri­ties have been able to easi­ly check their scan­ners using the scan­ner test from NGDA and thus redu­ce their fal­se posi­ti­ves in the secur­Ph­arm sys­tem. A new ver­si­on of the scan­ner test is now available from our stra­te­gic part­ner NGDA. Incor­rect­ly con­fi­gu­red scan­ners can lead to the data matrix code with the indi­vi­du­al reco­gni­ti­on fea­ture not being read cor­rect­ly and the­r­e­fo­re a medi­ci­ne pack not being suc­cessful­ly che­cked. This usual­ly leads to a fal­se alarm in the secur­Ph­arm sys­tem. In addi­ti­on, phar­maceu­ti­cal packa­ges that could not be suc­cessful­ly veri­fied may not be dis­pen­sed to pati­ents in accordance with the Dele­ga­ted Regu­la­ti­on. Reason enough to con­fi­gu­re the scan­ners cor­rect­ly. The new scan­ner test helps with this. It can be used to check whe­ther the scan­ner is set up cor­rect­ly and which typi­cal incor­rect set­tings should be cor­rec­ted. The new test com­pri­ses four dif­fe­rent Data­Ma­trix codes, which have to be scan­ned and eva­lua­ted one after the other. One thing has remain­ed the same: Scan­ning is car­ri­ed out in the mer­chan­di­se manage­ment sys­tem by means of a simp­le veri­fi­ca­ti­on. If all four veri­fi­ca­ti­ons at a work­sta­tion show a posi­ti­ve result during the test (“SP-780 scan­ner test suc­cessful”), the work­sta­tion is set up opti­mal­ly and fal­se alarms in the secur­Ph­arm sys­tem should no lon­ger occur due to tech­ni­cal pro­blems. Howe­ver, if an error is dis­play­ed, this must be rec­ti­fied and the test repea­ted. Other­wi­se, fal­se alarms may con­ti­nue to occur at this work­sta­tion due to the scan­ner set­tings. The test should be per­for­med at all work­sta­tions - for exam­p­le at the HV desk as well as in the back office. secur­Ph­arm recom­mends repea­ting the test regu­lar­ly, espe­ci­al­ly if chan­ges have been made to the hard­ware or soft­ware. The NGDA help­desk is available via email if you have any ques­ti­ons about the test. Plea­se note that the NGDA help­desk can­not pro­vi­de any assis­tance regar­ding the hard­ware used. For this, plea­se cont­act the hard­ware sup­pli­er.
