California ePedigree Mandate - January 1, 2011

Two significant differences between California and other state's mandates

• Shifts responsibility for initiating the pedigree from the distributor to the manufacturer for the first time
• Unlike most pedigree requirements, it requires serialization at the unit of sale

The race is on, time is already running short

• The deadline is rapidly approaching, manufacturers are obligated to participate
• Delays could be costly
• RFID is the ultimate solution, but some manufacturers prefer 2D Barcode
• Some distributors are requiring serialized product and ePedigree ASAP to be ready for the deadline

Three drivers for conversion to RFID

• To meet regulatory requirements
• Improve patient safety
• Gain business efficiencies
