15-25% of cases of the medicatiom errors caused by the similarity in spelling or pronunciation of their names. The labelling may be a means of protection against such errors. The authors proposed a way of marking that is applied to each unit product information protective barcode labels containing identification and content information. The label is additionally equipped with a diffractive element copy protection, with a surface microrelief, creating the effect of optical diffraction, and the information that should be included in bar code originally entered into the Central computer control institutions of the supporting documents provided by the supplier for each delivered batch of goods, and then by computer conversion of this information on a predefined algorithm that transforms the data from supporting documents by a specific rule that specifies a particular responsible person of the region by entering the password in the set of symbols form a bar code and produce printing batches of labels in the statement of the provider number for a label on each unit of production with application to each barcode labels, and vending facility shall review products by visual inspection of the presence of the diffraction element and the read bar code labels are scanned per unit of output with simultaneous inverse transformation according to a predefined algorithm included in the bar code information and comparing the information from supporting documents submitted by provider for each delivered batch.
