The Nordic NMVOs have jointly published recommendations on how pharmaceutical companies, wholesalers and pharmacies best handle a recall or withdrawal through the EMVS to further add efficiency, quality and value to the supply chain as well as strengthen patient safety.

The European Medicines Verification System safeguards the supply chain and patients from falsified medicines. When the systems functionality is handled correctly the EMVS also adds security and quality to the supply chain by preventing withdrawn or recalled packs from reaching patients without causing unnecessary disruptions in the distribution.

The Nordic NMVOs govern the national medicines verifications systems in the Nordic countries:

• e-VIS – e-Verifikation in Sverige 
• FiMVO – Finnish Medicines Verification Organisation
• ICEMVO – Icelandic Medicines Verification Organisation
• Nomvec – Norwegian Medicines Verification Company
• DMVO – Danish Medicines Verification Organisation

ICEMVO has introduced NMVS-Alerts as the preferred tool to handle alert investigation in Iceland.

As a result of the EU FMD regulation, various alerts are created due to the detection of falsified packs or due to procedural or technical errors.

The management of these FMD alerts in high numbers can be a significant challenge for NMVOs, OBPs, MAHs, NCAs and End Users.

NMVS-Alerts is designed as a collaboration platform for all involved FMD stakeholders, NMVS Alerts supports the necessary escalation and alert investigation procedures.

In addition to the alerts database, stakeholders can ask for and exchange helpful information such as documents, photos or remarks. Log information is tracked through the entire alert investigation process using NMVS Alerts whilst the End User stays anonymous towards MAHs and OBPs.

For further information, please contact ICEMVO at info@lyfjaaudkenni.is.

For general information about NMVS-Alerts, please visit NMVS-Alerts  homepage .

ICEMVO office is closed from July 19th to July 28th, however monitoring of alerts is maintained.

The best method to get in touch with ICEMVO during summer is to send an email.
