"Authenticating Medical Consumables to Combat Counterfeits"

"Crypto Crushes the Counterfeiters" - How semiconductor technology is helping tackle one of healthcare's biggest challenges

Healthcare is changing in far-reaching ways. Long-term trends such as the move towards remote monitoring and the delivery of care outside the traditional hospital environment are disrupting the traditional medical supply chain.  In addition, recent events such as COVID-19 have created a combination of rising demand for services and decreased production of medical devices.

This “perfect storm” has created a golden opportunity for counterfeiters who churn out fake versions of OEM products, a huge problem in a market where compliance, trust, and brand integrity are paramount.

Electronic and non-electronic medical accessories and consumables are fast becoming a growing target for the counterfeit trade. Ensuring that these products are genuine is vital for patients, medical professionals, and healthcare OEMs alike. Medical device manufacturers and OEMs are fighting counterfeiting with technology: cybersecurity and authentication systems that ensure that only their approved consumables or disposables will work with a medical device’s main unit.

In this informative ebook, you’ll find out about the dangers posed by medical counterfeiting, why authentication is a must for medical consumables, and how authentication offers benefits to each link in the medical supply chain.

You’ll also learn how Microchip is developing a family of low-cost crypto authentication solutions that offer a secure solution for a broad range of medical applications where high performance combined with lowest cost are design priorities.
