METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IMPLANT RECORD INTAKE USING A UNIQUE IMPLANT ID

1 . A method for implant record intake using a unique implant ID, comprising:

inputting to a database a lot number of a tissue, corresponding to a donor of the tissue;

assigning a unique serial number to the tissue; and

creating the unique implant ID stored in the database, based on the lot number and the unique serial number.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

generating a machine readable label encoded with the unique implant ID; and

affixing the machine readable label to a container of the tissue.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the machine readable label is one of a barcode, a radio frequency identification tag, a 3D barcode, a magnetically encoded tag and a chip.

4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

associating information about the tissue, input at one or a plurality of user terminals, with the unique implant ID to create an electronic record stored in the database.

5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the electronic record is searchable in the database using the unique implant ID.

6 . The method of claim 4 , wherein said information about the tissue includes at least one of a location, a storage condition, a packaging condition, a delivery or routing update, implantation of the tissue and disposal of the tissue.

7 . The method of claim 4 , wherein said information about the tissue includes vendor information.

8 . The method of claim 6 , further comprising sending an alert to a user when the tissue is en route to a particular location.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein a location of the tissue is searchable using at least one of the lot number and the serial number.

10 . A system for implant record intake using a unique implant ID, comprising:

at least one user terminal configured to input to a database a lot number of a tissue, corresponding to a donor of the tissue; and

a processing unit configured to assign a unique serial number to the tissue, and to create the unique implant ID stored in the database, based on the lot number and the unique serial number.

11 . The system of claim 10 , further comprising a machine readable label generator to generate a machine readable label encoded with the unique implant ID to be affixed to a container of the tissue.

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the machine readable label is one of a barcode, a radio frequency identification tag, a 3D barcode, a magnetically encoded tag and a chip.

13 . The system of claim 10 , further comprising:

a processing unit to associate information about the tissue, input at one or a plurality of user terminals, with the unique implant ID to create an electronic record stored in the database.

14 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the electronic record is searchable in the database using the unique implant ID.

15 . The system of claim 13 , wherein said information about the tissue includes at least one of a location, a storage condition, a packaging condition, a delivery or routing update, implantation of the tissue and disposal of the tissue.

16 . The system of claim 13 , wherein said information about the tissue includes vendor information.

17 . The system of claim 15 , further comprising a transmitting unit to transmit an alert to a user when the tissue is en route to a particular location.

18 . The system of claim 10 , wherein a location of the tissue is searchable using at least one of the lot number and the serial number.

19 . A computer-readable medium storing instructions thereon for performing a method of implant record intake using a unique implant ID, the method comprising:

inputting to a database a lot number of a tissue, corresponding to a donor of the tissue;

assigning a unique serial number to the tissue; and

creating the unique implant ID in the database, based on the lot number and the unique serial number.
