The General Technical Specification for Finned Drugs Dedicated Smart Cabinet, designated as GA/T 2015-2023 and published on June 6, 2023, aims to establish uniform standards for the design, manufacture, operation, and maintenance of intelligent cabinets specifically designed for storing and dispensing finned drugs. These smart cabinets are intended to enhance safety measures by ensuring that these potent medications are managed in a controlled environment, reducing risks associated with unauthorized access or misuse.
The specification includes guidelines on physical security features such as biometric authentication systems, multi-layered access control mechanisms, real-time monitoring and alerting capabilities, environmental protection controls like temperature and humidity regulation, and digital record-keeping to track the entire lifecycle of drugs stored within these cabinets. It also outlines performance requirements for software interfaces that enable seamless integration with existing hospital management systems or pharmacy inventory solutions.
Adoption of this standard is set to commence on November 1, 2023, providing all stakeholders involved in healthcare facilities and related pharmaceutical supply chains ample time to implement necessary adjustments towards compliance. This initiative represents a critical step forward in leveraging advanced technology for improving public safety measures regarding highly regulated substances.
