If the barcode on the scanned medication is not a valid National Drug Code (NDC) number, the following alert will be generated: "XXXXXXXXXX is a bad NDC that does not exist in the database. Please contact pharmacy to address item setup." Select OK to return to the previous screen. Medication Verification may not be used to administer this medication until the correct NDC/barcode is scanned. If the system prohibits the administration of a medication via Medication Verification and it is determined that the medication should indeed be administered, the medication may be administered via the MAR until the issue is resolved.

NOTE: This alert is only generated when utilizing Medication Verification. Selecting the Medication Description or the Scheduled Time via the MAR to access Medication Administration will not alert the user to a bad NDC number.
