Abstract
Pharmaceutical containers and methods for producing, registration, identification and authentication of such containers and for determining the operation state of machines for producing pharmaceutical containers are provided.
Claims19
A plurality of pharmaceutical containers, comprising:
- a plurality of geometric parameters defined for each container of the plurality of containers,
- each geometric parameter of the plurality of geometric parameters having a mean value and a standard deviation,
- wherein for a group of the plurality of geometric parameters, each geometric parameter of the group has a standard deviation that is greater than or equal to a lower threshold value specific for the geometric parameter, and
- wherein the lower threshold value is at least 1% of the mean value of the geometric parameter, and
- wherein the plurality of geometric parameters are a unique identifier for each container in the plurality of pharmaceutical containers without any extra added or molded element on the plurality of containers.

A method for producing a plurality of pharmaceutical containers, comprising:
- forming a plurality of containers each container having a plurality of geometric parameters that are a unique identifier for each container in the plurality of pharmaceutical containers without any extra added or molded element on the plurality of containers, each geometric parameter of the plurality of geometric parameters having a mean value and a standard deviation, wherein for a group of the plurality of geometric parameters, each geometric parameter of the group has a standard deviation that is greater than or equal to a lower threshold value specific for the geometric parameter, and wherein the lower threshold value is at least 1% of the mean value of the geometric parameter;
- and
- storing the geometric parameters as the unique identifier in at least one database.
