Breakthrough in RFID Technology to Assist in Major Drug Recalls

Automated Recall Management One Feature of Vue Technology's Item-Level RFID Solution for Pharmacies


LAKE FOREST, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- November 9, 2006 -- With 129 pharmaceutical retailers including Wal-Mart Stores Inc., CVS Corp., Safeway Stores and SuperValu Inc. potentially affected by today's recall of 11 million bottles of acetaminophen, the need for RFID technology in the retail pharmacy has never been clearer. Item-level inventory tracking based on RFID technology offers retailers unprecedented automated recall management capabilities to speed the efficiency and accuracy of drug recalls.

Item-level RFID provides complete, automated visibility into the exact location of every single bottle of pills, and any other products in a pharmacy, enabling retailers and manufacturers to quickly pull all affected product from the shelves and know for certain if any recalled product remains on a store shelf.

While many leading drug retailers are currently experimenting with RFID pilot programs, technology challenges have delayed RFID implementations in the retail pharmacy. On Monday, Vue Technology will announce a breakthrough in RFID technology that will make automated recall management and other benefits of item-level tracking an immediate reality for the retail pharmacy.
