Device company streamlines global labeling process

For neuroendovascular technology company MicroVention, SQL script decreases production labor hours while the GS1 Wizard helps meet UDI standards.

MicroVention, an Aliso Viejo, CA-based medical device company specializing in neuroendovascular technologies, operates facilities internationally.

Last year,Healthcare Packaging reported on the 50% efficiency boost realized by MicroVention, an Aliso Viejo, CA-based medical device company, after upgrading to an enterprise-level labeling system provided by TEKLYNX.

After experiencing rapid growth, the neuroendovascular technology company reevaluated its labeling operations and selected TEKLYNX’s CENTRAL CFR to gain efficiencies across all facilities.

One year later, they’re still realizing benefits in a number of ways:

Access to label templates from all sites

As a global organization with facilities across the world, it’s important for MicroVention employees to be able to access the most up-to-date label templates across their multiple sites, ensuring those templates are the approved and final versions.

“MicroVention employs a small and agile team in developing and designing labels,” says Frank Carranza, Associate Labeling Engineer at MicroVention. “We manage them all at the headquarters and they can be pushed out to any number of our facilities internationally."

While the same products are manufactured at the different facilities, there may be separate requirements for each particular country when printing the labels. A plant reaches out to Carranza with specific parameters, at which point he creates the designs and finalizes the labels. “With TEKLYNX CENTRAL CFR we're able to publish the label automatically to each plant so it's not a manual process, which involves e-mailing the label. We're designing the label within Orange County and then that's immediately available to our manufacturing plants globally,” Carranza explains. “This saves us days because we now have same-day turnaround.”
