Domino’s K300 piezo inkjet printer and Dx-Series range of CO2 Laser coders are aimed at providing life sciences manufacturers with complete, end-to-end solutions for advanced variable data printing, including 2D codes at the individual dose and item level.
‘The life sciences industry is heavily regulated with strict requirements for serialisation and traceability for certain products to increase patient safety and reduce the risk of counterfeits,’ said Bart Vansteenkiste, Global Sector Manager – Life Sciences, Domino. ‘While the future regulatory outlook is anything but certain we can see an increasing need for variable data printing solutions that offer the potential to go beyond current regulatory requirements, without compromising production line efficiency.’
As an advanced variable data printing solutions provider, Domino has the most extensive range of high-speed, high-resolution printing, serialisation, and code verification solutions for the life sciences sector. All solutions support manufacturers’ current regulatory requirements, including product printing and identification using global GS1 standards, data capture and verification, and traceability solutions for visibility along the entire value chain.
‘We are always looking to expand and improve our solutions offering to ensure we can continue to support our customers. This includes developing and improving solutions to offer high-speed, 2D code printing at the individual dose or item level,’ continued Vansteenkiste. ‘This goes beyond what is currently required under global legislation; however, the addition of dose-level scannable 2D codes for medicines and medical devices, including variable data such as product name, expiry date, and batch code, can prove exceptionally valuable in helping to avoid errors in healthcare and pharmacy settings.’
The K300 is a high-speed, high-resolution, piezo inkjet printer that is ideal for high-speed variable data printing, including 2D code applications, on blister foils, flexible films, medical papers including Tyvek, and single-dose blow-fill-seal ampoules and vials.
In addition, Domino’s newly launched Dx-Series range of CO2 laser coder delivers fast, flexible coding onto a wide range of packaging substrates including paper, carton, glass, various types of films, and plastic blister packaging. The Dx-Series is suitable for item-level serialisation in compliance with international regulations, as well as printing more complex 2D codes, including QR codes powered by GS1.
The K300 and Dx-Series have been rigorously tested and approved for use in the life sciences sector, including compliance with 21 CFR part 11 for the US and Annex 11 in Europe. Both solutions can be installed as standalone units or alongside Domino’s automated coding and vision systems as part of a closed-loop printing and verification solution. In addition, Domino offers support and software and services for life sciences manufacturers to provide integration into production systems, as well as customised validation packs.
