CCLiD allows the brand to understand a patient’s medication usage and offers a series of direct interactions with the customer. The technology upgrades to re-order prescriptions. This capability can get a better understanding of the patient’s adherence. Authentication is made easy with CCLiD. The consumer can be sure that they are consuming an original and safe product by reading the tag id on each product. From the consumer’s perspective, there is security in knowing that the medication can be traced from the origin to the point of sale. NFC Traceability helps avoid the products from getting diverted or ending up in the gray market. This technology is essential since counterfeiting pharmaceuticals is a major concern not only for manufacturers but for consumers as well.

NFC Technology

NFC is a radiofrequency technology which allows data to be exchanged between different types of devices.

_ The reading distance is up to 2 inches.

_ It can  only be read at short distances.

_ It is considered a RFID device, as it can store data.

_ It has a unique identification number (7 positions).

_ It can be protected by a password.

_ It is virtually impossible to replicate.

_ It is possible to customize the written data at the web portal.

NFC Technology

Currently there are 3.0 billion cell phones with NFC. The list of NFC-equipped devices has been growing every day. Lots of Android devices have NFC, and every iPhone, from iPhone 6 on, also presents this feature. NFC has also been added to the iPad range, starting with the iPad Pro, the iPad Air 2, and the third-generation iPad Mini, but those devices won’t work with in-store contactless readers. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208531

For cell phones that do not have NFC, there is also the possibility of attaching an external reading as the models below:

Frequently Asked Questions (May not be necessary, but we can rework this if we see value in this information.)

What can make a label be invalidated?

The label can be invalidated in case of theft, loss or misappropriation. The app displays a message as “valid product” but with restrictions. The invalidation can also occur with a label damaged by a shock, inappropriate liner tension during labeling process, antenna crack, etc.  

What prevents a label from being cloned?

It is impossible to prevent a tag id cloning. If a malicious chip manufacturer wants to replicate a tag id, it is impossible to stop them. That is why a tag id alone is not enough to guarantee the item safety. For this reason, CCLiD was created, to insert in the tag an extremely strong security layer.

A label has been falsified and has a fake NFC tag. What happens when CCLiD reads it?

An “invalid” tag will be displayed. It is impossible to associate a fake tag with a product in the app.
