The smart RFID Syringe Label combines
marking of a syringe with its
unique, digital identity.
functionality in terms of good performance and adequate
range, various characteristics of the prefilled syringe
must be considered. Aside from the material such as COC,
PP, or glass, which can affect range and trouble-free reading
of the tag, syringe size and diameter play a decisive
role: The smaller the syringe the less space for product
marking and integration of the RFID chip. Plus, the smaller
the tag the shorter usually its read range. In addition, the
curvature may affect performance, especially in the case
of small syringe diameters.
The dielectric properties of the medications contained
in the syringe play a role as well. Especially waterbased
active ingredients have a negative impact on the
radio transmission performance of a tag. This requires
precise positioning of the RFID-Label and integrated inlay
according to the liquid and fill level. Additionally, special
data standards for identification and tracking on unit level
such as UnitVisID or GS1 must be considered, which
enable all relevant stakeholders to interpret and use the
data, as well as integration in the respective infrastructure.
Schreiner MediPharm and SCHOTT Pharma adapt the
solution to the customer’s specific requirements to ensure
optimal functionality from production to final use. This
helps enhance product safety and avoid potential medication
errors.
The new solution from Schreiner MediPharm and
SCHOTT Pharma was presented for the first time at the
“PDA Universe of Pre-filled Syringes and Injection Devices
Conference” from October 18 to 19, 2022 in the United
States. Arne Rehm, Senior Product Manager RFID/NFC
Solutions at Schreiner MediPharm, and Tom van Ginneken,
Head of Global Product Management for SCHOTT
TOPPAC®, delivered a joint presentation under the motto
“Making Pre-filled Syringes Smart” at the event.

Pfeiffer Vacuum, a leading provider of vacuum technology, introduces
the first rotary vane pump for mass spectrometry with a hermetically
sealed pump housing. The SmartVane serves as a backing pump
for mass spectrometers (ICP-MS, LC/MS), for applications in environmental
and food analytics, as well as in pharmaceutical and clinical
analytics. This vacuum pump is designed to ensure that no oil leaks
occur therefore preventing any contamination. Thanks to the integrated
motor, no conventional seal is needed, which means that the
SmartVane has longer maintenance intervals.
As Marcel Merkardt, Product Manager at Pfeiffer Vacuum, explains:
“With SmartVane, oil leaks in the laboratory are a thing of the past.
Here, we combine the advantages of the tried-and-tested rotary vane
pump principle with a revolutionary sealed design. In practice, this
means that you benefit from the familiar high performance of a rotary
vane pump, but without any disadvantageous oil leaks.”
The low noise level of the SmartVane ensures ideal conditions in
the laboratory. With its typical operating pressure of less than 10 hPA,
it is quieter than other pumps used for this type of application. This
makes it possible to carry out even challenging tasks in a pleasant
working environment. Its compact design makes it easy to incorporate
in existing systems. In addition, the pump offers intelligent communication
options and can be used as a plug-and-play solution in
combination with existing devices.
An additional key benefit is the pump’s sustainability. The Smart-
Vane has an integrated energy-efficient IPM motor with a stand-by
function. Its low power consumption automatically reduces the operating
costs and CO2 footprint.
