Implantable medical devices traceability "four difficult points" commodity bar code to challenge

"With the continuous innovation of science and technology in the medical industry, the brands and types of implantable medical devices are also showing a diversified trend, and the difficulty of traceability is also increasing. Currently commodity barcode has been gradually applied to various fields of the medical industry, and is emphasized by many medical device manufacturers. With the popularization and application of commodity barcodes, the traceability management of medical devices has begun to bear fruit, and the traceability of implantable medical devices "four difficult points" have been solved. "

Product identification is no longer difficult

The implantable medical device types required by any one hospital will not be less than 50,000, with the increasing number of brands and types of medical devices, hospitals in the implantable medical device selection and screening on the difficult. As an "ID card", the commodity bar code can help hospitals quickly retrieve medical device information, quickly distinguish the small differences between products, and make the selection and use of implantable medical devices safer and more assured.

The acceptance of implantable medical devices requires verification of product registration, business license, production or operation license, product expiration date, product shelf life and many other information, manual verification is cumbersome and error rate is high, but with commodity barcodes can easily solve the shortcomings of the acceptance of time-consuming and laborious screening. The use of commodity barcodes for retrieval, once the expiration date, unlicensed and other products can be found in a timely manner, from the root to protect the patient's life safety.

Post-operative registration is no longer difficult

Implantable medical devices are different from ordinary medical devices, it is necessary to register the doctor after surgery, type of surgery, date, patient's name, contact address, product name, specifications, expiration date, batch or serial number, registration number, the name of the manufacturer, the name of the operating company, and more than a dozen pieces of information to protect the patient's post-operative care and medical treatment. Traceability. The use of commodity barcodes makes it easy to record information and ensure the correctness of the information, thus giving patients safer health protection.

Process management is no longer difficult

The importance of implantable medical devices in the medical process also determines its seriousness in the management process, the implantable medical device management needs: qualification prior to the audit, with a strict pre-check, after the use of timely registration, the change of the price of the notification of the process step-by-step, the use of commodity bar code application to standardize the management process, increase the management process, and the use of the bar code to ensure the safety and security of patients. The application of commodity barcode standardizes the management process, increases the safety of the management process, reduces the management risk, and makes the use of implantable medical devices more secure.

Commodity bar code through the implantable medical device application of the beginning and end, from the manufacturer to the hospital inspection records and then to the departmental supervision, can be through the commodity bar code to carry out management. Not only does it help the global flow of goods, save time and costs, but it also protects patient safety, and really makes it possible to have a "trace" to follow.
