If you enter the NDC code manually, the system cross-references the number with the FDB database and indicates the results in the NDC Check field.
-
A green circle with checkmark indicates the NDC is valid.
-
A red circle with an “x” indicates the NDC is invalid (not in the current version of FDB). However, the NDC may still be the correct NDC for the product barcode that you are adding.
-
A gray circle indicates that no NDC was entered for the brand and barcode.
Note: Only one valid NDC is required for each parent formulary item for drug interaction and
allergy checking to take place. The NDC check column only appears if allergy and/or drug
interaction checking is enabled at the system and formulary item level.
Note: MEDID(s) and CFID(s) from the FDB have been added to each formulary item based upon
the NDC associated to the formulary item. Each valid NDC in the Brand Info that is
associated with the formulary item is associated with one MEDID and one CFID. All NDCs
within the same formulary item should have the same MEDID; they may or may not have the
same CFID.
