Fff Enterprises Promotes Ivig Safety

When it comes to ordering intravenous immune globulin (IVIG), a safe supply chain is a high priority for patients and providers.

Patients living with primary immune deficiency, acquired compromised immunity conditions, and various autoimmune diseases all depend on intravenous immune globulin (IVIG). Regular infusions of immune globulin can help improve a patients health and quality of life, since immune globulin contains antibodies against a broad spectrum of bacteria and viruses. Because immune globulin is derived from pooled human plasma, product purity and safety is of utmost importance, which is why confidence in a products path through the supply chain is essential to healthcare providers and the patients they treat.

FFF Enterprises of Temecula, CA, is known as the nations most trusted distributor of biopharmaceuticals, including IVIG, in part because of the companys mission to maintaining a secure supply channel and always putting patient safety first.

We are creating a standard for safety and excellence that we hope will continue to have a positive influence on the industry as a whole, states Patrick M. Schmidt, chief executive officer, FFF Enterprises, Inc. Our customers recognize the value of channel integrity to their patients and their bottom lines.

Because of its trusted reputation, FFF is currently the only authorized distributor for all six US-approved IVIG manufacturers. Healthcare providers who order IVIG from FFF can count on the companys counterfeit-free track record of more than 21 years, which means the product they order is the product they will receive, ensuring the patient on the receiving end is protected from counterfeit or mismanaged fragile product.

Technology plays an important role in FFFs commitment to supply channel integrity. Many of the FFF programs and systems have resulted in new distribution protocols among biopharmaceutical suppliers. One of these systems is the companys first-of-its-kind Verified Electronic Pedigree (VEP) that electronically displays the chain of custody for every product shipped from FFF. Additionally, FFFsLotTrack system tracks products by lot number and provides timely recall notification to those affected. FFFs quality commitment touches patients directly through its specialty pharmacy subsidiary, NuFACTOR, which was established to provide IVIG, coagulation factors and vaccines directly to the patients who need them.

Many chronic illnesses can be effectively managed by the ongoing use of intravenous immune globulin. IVIG treatments dramatically impact the lives of patients with various disease states and their families companies like FFF ensure that distribution channels for IVIG remain secure and uncompromised.
