KitCheck has partnered with 20+ partners across the medication supply chain to bring you a simple and dependable solution to tracking your medications. To date, over 210 million items have passed through KitCheck’s cloud-based registry across different technology systems such as EMRs, Ambulatory, Cold Chain, ADCs, and much more. We ensure that our products are compatible with GS1, RAIN, and ISO standards to ensure you have the best possible experience with our RFID tags.
We follow UnitVisID standards to ensure that our products are compatible with GS1, RAIN, and ISO standards to ensure you have the best possible experience with our RFID tags. The registry that UnitVisID compatible products are registered in is free and openly accessible to all downstream automation vendors and is not subject to UnitVisID membership. This is what we consider to be true interoperability, where one player does not dictate access to a proprietary system.
