The orthopedic implant maker is using Terso Solutions’ RFID Mobile Case and cloud-based Jetstream software to determine the contents and locations of the loaner kits it ships to hospitals, to better understand when products are used and require replenishment. – Page 1
Oct 24, 2016 — Orthopedic implant company Medacta USA is piloting an RFID-enabled solution to track its loaner kits when they are provided to hospitals. Each kit comes in the form of a case filled with Medacta USA implant products. The system, supplied by inventory-management technology firm Terso Solutions, allows Medacta USA to receive daily updates regarding which products are inside each case, as well as each time the case is opened. In this way, users can view which implants remain in a particular kit, and where that case is located. That information is intended to help the company prevent errors, investigate losses and, if Medacta USA adopts the system permanently, automate the billing process.
