11 E2B(R3) elements with data in Chinese

NMPA mandates to transmit data for certain elements in Chinese. Argus supports multi-language data entry as required by NMPA.

The following fields are enhanced in Argus 8.2.3.1 to support multi-language data entries:

  • Case Form > General tab > Reporter Information section > Institution
  • Case Form > Patient or Parent tab > Pregnancy Information section > Delivery Notes
  • Case Form > Products tab > Product Information section > Product Name
  • Case Form > Product > Product Information > Generic Name

The below code list is enhanced to add the Chinese name for the manufacturer list. The Chinese name should be configured because it is required to transmit the DRUGAUTHORIZATIONHOLDER [G.k.3.3]:

  • Argus Console > Code Lists > Flexible Data Re-Categorization > Flexible Re-Categorization folder > MANUFACTURER Code List Name

Note:

For all other elements that need Chinese data, Argus already supports multi-language data entry. The NMPA E2B(R3) mappings are updated to use Chinese data to transmit the elements. For more details, refer to the E2B(R3) mapping document.
