Leading developer of solutions that trace key healthcare processes chooses
Precise Match-on-Card™ to trace patient ID and blood testing transmissions,
eliminating human ‘error’ in the process.
Precise Biometrics announces today that they have partnered with the Inpeco
Group for a 6-month contract, to deploy Precise Match-on-Card™ technology to the
Inpeco Group System. This will allow Inpeco Group to provide a unique link
between patient ID and the in-vitro automation process. The Match-on-Card
function would allow the patient ID to be verified at the point when the sample
is taken, which is when blood vials are labeled and registered in the database.

“We are responsible for developing ways to ensure medical acts are delivered in
the right way and that they are fully monitored,” stated Andrea Pedrazzini,
President of the Inpeco Group, which includes Inpeco TIH (Traceability In
Healthcare), engaged in performing the Inpeco Group’s R&D activities. “Precise
Biometrics’ Match-on-Card solution is a perfect product for our Group and
objectives. Its unique capabilities of combining smart cards and fingerprints
ensures that a patient’s data cannot be tampered with and that it’s fully
secured throughout the process, from when the blood is extracted through the
testing stage. We have an accurate account of the patient’s ID, associated with
the sample tube itself, and at the same time the patient’s privacy is
maintained.”

With Precise Match-on-Card the fingerprint template is both stored and matched
on the smart card chip. The biometrics serve as PIN and password replacement,
but the solution also makes use of the well-known secure environment of the chip
and eliminates the database, facilitating proof of identity and making the card
a truly personal token.

“Our partnership with Inpeco Group has tremendous growth potential and we’re
excited about this new venture. After a successful trial, we expect to grant
Inpeco 3-year exclusivity in the in-vitro testing automation market because we
clearly see the value and expertise they provide, their great care and
investment in R&D activities and their key role on the further development of
automated blood test systems”, said Precise Biometrics’ CEO, Thomas Marschall.
