TraceLink Inc., the World’s Largest Track and Trace Network for connecting the life sciences supply chain and providing real-time information sharing for better patient outcomes, today announced that Chester Medical Solutions has become the first UK-based CDMO to select TraceLink’s EU FMD Express solution to help its global pharmaceutical brand customers comply with the rapidly approaching deadline for the EU Falsified Medicines Directive (FMD) in February 2019.
One of the UK’s leading contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMO), Chester Medical Solutions has a 50 year history of providing flexible, innovative and cost-effective solutions to pharmaceutical and medical device brand owners. Chester Medical Solution’s GMP facility is fitted out to the highest standards, providing a comprehensive range of services with dedicated suites that contain processes such as blister packing, pot, bottle and sachet filling as well as medical device manufacture, assembly and liquid filling.
After equipping its contract packaging site with an advanced inspection system, Chester Medical Solutions selected TraceLink’s EU FMD Express solution and Automated Validation Manager, to offer fully compliant EU FMD services to its clients, including aggregation and the ability to re-work previously serialized product.
“As one of the first UK packaging companies to implement fully compliant EU FMD services, we made the decision to invest in serialization to ensure that our customers are ahead of the curve in being prepared for February 2019 deadline. We offer a wide range of innovative printing and packaging services and TraceLink was the only solution provider that could accommodate our exacting needs, while providing our customers with continuous compliance by enabling us to exchange critical product data with them,” said Ian Robinson, Director of Business Development of Chester Medical Solutions.
Designed specifically for smaller companies, TraceLink’s EU FMD Express provides a simple approach for companies to meet EU FMD compliance while controlling costs and minimizing business impact.
