Some general information about bar-codes on medications and such.... 95% of the time when there is a bar-code present on a prescription label, the bar-code is only for internal use. It will be the RX number, account number or something along those lines. It will not be a manufacture bar-code that can be associated with the medication it self.
Product bar-codes are associated with the product it self allowing companies to create databases with this information. With Seeing IA their database only contains product names, while En-Vision America's i.d. mate bar code scanner database contains the name and information about the product. In an attempt to not turn this into a sales pitch you can visit our website for more information. There are 2 common styles of bar-codes..... 1st is a QR Code or also called 2D bar-code. This style actually contains data within the code, like a web address, or actual information. 2nd is a Universal Product Code or UPC. This style contains a number only and for it to be useful you need to assign information to that number in a database. UPC is what is found on all products, the key to it being useful to a consumer is for a database to be available to them. Hope I didn't bore you!
