What Are Drug, Vaccine, Medical Device, and Medical Material Tracking Systems? How Are They Tracked?

Drug Tracking System (DTS):

Drug Tracking System (DTS) is a system used to monitor and ensure the traceability of drug production, distribution, and sales processes. DTS involves labeling drugs with serial numbers, batch numbers, expiration dates, and other unique identification information. The primary purpose of DTS is to prevent counterfeit drugs and provide consumers with safe and effective medicines. It also helps in quickly identifying situations that require recalls.

Product Tracking System (PTS):

Product Tracking System (PTS) is a system used to monitor all processes from the production to the distribution and consumption of various products (Medical, Medical Devices, etc.). PTS involves labeling products with unique identifiers and tracking information. PTS aims to ensure product traceability, facilitate recall processes, enhance product safety, and prevent the introduction of counterfeit products into the market.

Vaccine Tracking System (VTS):

Vaccine Tracking System (VTS) is a system used to monitor the processes from the production to the distribution and administration of vaccines. Vaccines are labeled with unique serial numbers or barcodes, and this information is recorded in a central database. The Vaccine Tracking System enables tracking of vaccines, management of stocks, appropriate storage of vaccines under specific conditions, and effective planning of vaccination campaigns by health authorities. It also ensures that vaccines are used in a manner compliant with consumer health.
