Problem Statement

Representative labeling at the NDC9 level which "counts" for all pack sizes

Maybe account for NDC9 as a last ditch effort?

8 digit NDC9 in the image alt text

I think we need to grab the first two segments from the known SPL NDC (i.e. 72789-422) and then remove the hyphen (i.e. 72789422) in order to search for those matches in the text. Makes me wonder if we should just search for known NDCs of all different formats within the body text of the XML instead of using known NDCs to filter out found NDCs.

Example 2

72789422 label

Can confirm this is the first two segments of the NDC. Essentially the NDC9, but missing the zero padding.

Criteria for Success

Come up with a solution to safely account for NDC9 label images.
