Chapter 1. Regulatory document comparison

WinMedica · ELPEN · Pharmaceutical

Every word on the pack checked against the approved text.

Fig. 1.1 The review screen, stepping through the findings on one leaflet. Each is shown in place on both documents. Product and text are illustrative.

LabArt reads the approved labeling and the printed artwork, aligns them word by word and shows the reviewer every place they differ. Leaflets, cartons and blisters, from closed, image or text-based PDF files.

A check that used to take a reviewer hours, with two printouts side by side, now takes minutes. The decision on the artwork stays with the person who signs it.
