What traceability means
The Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) requires every pharmaceutical product unit sold in the US to carry a unique product identifier - a serialised code that enables end-to-end traceability from manufacturer to dispenser.
ProtectCode serialised QR codes meet this requirement while simultaneously providing consumer authentication and brand engagement capabilities. The same unit-level code that satisfies DSCSA requirements opens a consumer-facing brand experience when scanned with a smartphone.
