Frequently Asked Questions

A sneak peek into what you’ll learn.

What is the difference between counterfeiting and diversion?

Counterfeiting is the unauthorized production of a product that is meant to look like an original, while diversion is an unauthorized seller who sells a product intended for one market in another market. Both of these issues can be tackled by optimizing your medical products supply chain.

How do counterfeit medical products find their way into the supply chain ?

One weak link in a medical products supply chain lets counterfeiters in. The proliferation of online marketplaces and storefronts has exacerbated the issue. Healthcare product web stores are easily accessible online and have been proven to sell fakes.

What is the impact of counterfeiting and diverted medical products?

Both are dangerous to the practitioner and/or the patient. Counterfeits are never made to the medical-grade environments and designs of the original. Diverted products are rarely transported to the standards that genuine products travel in the supply chain. Sterility could also be compromised.

How can I secure my supply chain and ensure patient safety?

It takes a layered approach to make your supply chain truly safe. One layer is traceability— to know that your product’s journey is with trusted partners across your supply chain. Another layer is the ability to verify product authenticity anywhere in the supply chain.

How can technology prevent counterfeit products?

Implementing the right capabilities will add layers of protection across the supply chain to help manufacturers and distributors gain visibility, detect diversion and authenticate products throughout the journey.
