Getting started with Implant & Tissue Compliance Tracker

The Implant & Tissue Compliance Tracker records each implantable device and tissue graft by barcode as it is received, stored, issued and implanted, so every item can be traced from its supplier to the patient who received it, or to its disposal. It warns about expiring stock and storage problems, and matches recall notices against your inventory and implant records. When a recall or supplier notification arrives, your team sees which items are on the shelf and which patients received them, and records every step of the response.

What it is for

Implant and tissue records are often split between a supply system that knows what was received, a paper or spreadsheet tissue log, and the operative record in the EHR. Lot and serial numbers are copied by hand, storage temperatures are logged on paper, and expired items are found on the shelf rather than flagged. When a manufacturer recall or a tissue supplier notification arrives, finding the affected items and patients means searching several systems, and proving that every graft was accounted for at survey takes days of reconciliation.

• Lot, serial and donor identification numbers are transcribed by hand between systems
• Expiring items and storage temperature problems are found late
• Recalls and supplier notifications require manual searches to find affected patients
• Tissue disposition and recipient records are hard to evidence at survey
