For those of you who may be concerned about the term
“pedigree,” it is a term used by the FDA to describe
the tracking, origin and destination of medications within a distribution
system. On December 2, 2005, the FDA issued a federal requirement
that requires manufacturers and drug wholesalers to issue these
pedigree papers either on paper or in electronic form. Many drugs
and medications, including factor products, now require a pedigree.
Even prior to the FDA requirement, we at Matrix
Health have complied with all state and federal regulations to track
and record all pedigree information. We purchase our factor products
either directly from the manufacturer or from ASD Healthcare, as
required by some manufacturers.
ASD Healthcare is a distributor of albumin, immunologic,
hyper-immune globulin, antihemophilic and other specialty products.
It is a division of AmerisourceBergen Corporation, the world’s
largest pharmaceutical distributor.
In every circumstance, all of our patients should
feel completely confident that the products they receive from Matrix
Health are of first-rate, pedigreed quality. Matrix Health does
not, and will not, obtain factor products from any sources that
deal in the secondary wholesale market.
We go to extreme lengths to ensure that products
received by Matrix Health are packaged properly, have extended dating,
and are stored appropriately. The products are sent to our consumers
in the same stringent manner. Our internal Quality Assurance personnel
want you to feel comfortable and know without doubt that you have
chosen the right company for your factor needs.
Please feel free to contact me directly with questions
or concerns.
Sincerely,
David McCormick
Director of Pharmacy Services
