Embodiment Construction

[0058]A comprehensive system for safe management of transplantable material is provided by the invention. In its preferred embodiment, the system is computer-based. Such invention enables the proper qualification of suppliers; logging and inspection of incoming transplantable material; product maintenance; integrated tracking and verification of the handling, storage, and use of transplantable materials in a safe and regulatory-compliant manner from the point of receipt to the point of issuance / final disposition throughout the medical establishment. The system also provides for prompt investigation of any adverse reaction suffered by a patient who receives the transplantable material through a surgical procedure. Additionally, it ensures a complete documented history of the transplantable material within the medical establishment so that the transplantable material can be traced back to its supplier in the event that a product recall of transplantable material is warranted either by...

Abstract

The present invention provides a comprehensive tissue management system for transplantable materials like tissues and organs. The tracking portion of the system prompts and verifies that staff members of a medical establishment like a hospital have handled, stored, transported, reconstituted, and used the tissue or organ materials in a safe and regulatory-compliant manner from the point of receipt to the point of issuance or surgical use throughout the hospital's organization. The tracing portion of the system creates an integral record that documents which hospital staff members have provided which processing steps to the tissue or organ, any associated materials used in conjunction with such tissue or organ, and an identification of the tissue or organ that was transplanted or implanted inside a patient. Such a system will enable adverse reaction investigations for transplant patients, and recalls of transplantable materials.
