In many situations, it is helpful to assign a product to a unique lot using its lot designation, even after delivery and sale to the customer. In the area of pharmaceuticals and medical devices, this labeling is not optional, but rather an international legal requirement. The guaranteed batch tracing ensures that if a production defect is detected, a product is purposefully withdrawn from the market and that the production defect can be investigated. Only those units of this product need to be recalled whose lot names correspond to the contested lots.
