Quality has been a concern of the World Health Organization since its inception and is defined as fitness for use. Since our ancestors began trading several millennia ago, Falsified Pharmaceutical Products has been a recurring problem and still threatens economic stability and public health. Its definition various from country to country and according to World Health Organization, 2017, it is 'a product that is deliberately and fraudulently mislabelled with respect to identity and/or source'. The implementation of anti-falsified nanomaterial technologies is the prominent preventive measure to track and/or detect Falsified Pharmaceutical Products. Software and hardware companies had made encouraging progress towards implementing Radio Frequency Identification devices for ensuring the authenticity of pharmaceutical products. The purpose of the review was to critically appraise Radio Frequency Identification devices technology for the purpose of track and trace Falsified Pharmaceutical Products circulating in the market. Different search engines such as Google Scholar, Science Direct and PubMed were applied and mesh terms and keywords were searched. Different guides and related books were investigated in addition to the articles. Radio Frequency Identification devices technology is a compact electronic device that contains a small chip and reader with antenna that enables wireless transmission of identity of pharmaceutical products. The authenticated Radio Frequency Identification devices model is used for pharmaceutical products' authentication from origin of pharmaceutical industry to the pharmacy at any point along the chain of the distribution. Popular pharmaceutical products, such as OxyContin and Sildenafil Citrate, which are particular targets of falsification have mandated the use of Radio Frequency Identification devices technology.
自世界卫生组织成立以来，质量一直是其关注的问题，并被定义为适用性。自几千年前我们的祖先开始贸易以来，假药问题就一直反复出现，至今仍威胁着经济稳定和公众健康。其定义因国家而异，根据世界卫生组织2017年的定义，假药是“一种在身份和/或来源方面被故意欺诈性地错误标注的产品”。实施防伪纳米材料技术是追踪和/或检测假药的突出预防措施。软件和硬件公司在实施射频识别设备以确保药品真实性方面取得了令人鼓舞的进展。本综述的目的是批判性地评估射频识别设备技术，以追踪和追查市场上流通的假药。我们使用了不同的搜索引擎，如谷歌学术、科学Direct和PubMed，并搜索了医学主题词和关键词。除了文章之外，还研究了不同的指南和相关书籍。射频识别设备技术是一种紧凑的电子设备，它包含一个小芯片和带有天线的阅读器，能够无线传输药品的身份信息。经过认证的射频识别设备模型用于在药品分销链的任何环节对药品进行从制药行业源头到药房的身份验证。一些热门药品，如奥施康定和西地那非，特别容易成为造假目标，因此强制要求使用射频识别设备技术。
