Information about the Matrix-Code
HIBC-Barcode
All packing units contain a HIBC barcode (HIBC = Health Industry Bar Code), what is an international standard and provides for multiple benefits.
HIBC is the so-called second generation barcode – i.e. matrix barcode that in comparison to standard bar codes enables placement of a very large amount of information in a very small area.
First of all the contents include the identification number of the manufacturer, which is exclusively and internationally assigned to each registered manufacturer.
Alongside with other data (product ID, LOT number, series number, expiry date etc.) the matrix code guarantees complete traceability of the product till the end user as provided for in the applicable laws.
What are the advantages?
To use the benefits of effective and secure record keeping all you need is a barcode scanner.
To ensure compliance with the legislative requirements on record keeping on the used materials and traceability till the patient you can use the barcodes of the packing, respectively the stickers enclosed to the dental implants.
If such are not available anymore, the providers of practical application, billing and accounting software usually offer a barcode scanner interface.
All codes of the materials used will be scanned directly after the surgery and accordingly saved in the patient’s file by the respective program, thereby evading the cumbersome writing down or sticking of the code stickers in the patient file and also any eventual scribal or transfer errors.
The data can also be used for electronic stock keeping and enterprise resource planning – you scan the incoming goods and also the outward stock movement, i.e. the products used for a surgery. As soon as you exceed i.e. reach the minimum stock level set by you, the applied program will prepare order information or even a completed order –fax message, by indicating therein all necessary product identification numbers or will even send an automatic e-mail.
As for today we are the only manufacturers of dental implants providing matrix codes for each product in the catalogue. It gives you the possibility to compose your orders via PC fast and error-free.
Our order department also uses the barcodes upon the order forms that can be requested or downloaded from our homepage thereby evading any mistakes that might incur from transfer of your order to our computer systems.
