PSE monitor

PSE Monitor provides pharmacies and law enforcement with a tool to track the sale of products containing pseudoephedrine (PSE) so that state and federal restrictions can be effectively enforced.
The following pseudoephedrine logging and tracking functions are provided by PSE Monitor:

• PSE Monitor allows an authorized pharmacy or other retail user to enter the identifying information for a customer who wants to purchase pseudoephedrine – such as last name, first name, date of birth, address, and driver license number and retrieve pseudoephedrine-related information regarding that customer. This information includes the amount of pseudoephedrine purchased by the customer in the past 30 days (milligrams), or the amount of pseudoephedrine the customer is allowed to purchase at present (milligrams).
• Once PSE Monitor is used to determine if state and federal quantity restrictions are not being violated, purchase information can then be entered. This can include date of purchase, a short product description and the number of milligrams of pseudoephedrine in the product being purchased. This information updates the central repository on a real-time basis, thus preventing the illegal practice of “smurfing” – going from pharmacy to pharmacy and buying otherwise legal amounts of products containing pseudoephedrine (usually less than 9 milligrams).
• PSE Monitor provides an automated means for chain pharmacies and retail outlets to programmatically query the information to allow for integration with point of sale systems. In such cases the system will use a weighted algorithm, provided by the client for whom the module is being implemented to decide whether or not a match was found for the person who wishes to purchase pseudoephedrine.
