Patent ID: 7720694

Claim:
A system for communicating pharmaceutical verification information, the system comprising: a network; a server database; a server connected to the network and the server database, the server storing at least one known spectral signature of a known pharmaceutical and a corresponding known pharmaceutical name and dosage strength of the known pharmaceutical in the server database; a client database; and a pharmaceutical identification and verification system connected to the network and the client database, the pharmaceutical identification and verification system comprising a static multimode multiplex spectrometer and being capable of receiving the at least one known spectral signature and the corresponding known pharmaceutical name and dosage strength from the server, storing the at least one known spectral signature and the corresponding known pharmaceutical name and dosage strength in the client database, reading a pharmaceutical name and dosage strength from a container enclosing a pharmaceutical, obtaining a detected spectral signature for the pharmaceutical by performing an analysis of the pharmaceutical through the container, and comparing the detected spectral signature to the at least one known spectral signature.
