Localization and tracking of devices and reagents

A checked user requirement addresses situations which can occur in large hospitals with many wards. There, it is possible for smaller mobile measuring instruments to be left behind when changing wards, meaning that they cannot be found by later shifts. This leads to bottlenecks in patient care and makes it harder to maintain devices. Another examined user requirement also addresses situations which can occur above all in large hospitals and laboratories. The reagents used in diagnostic instruments can be assigned to specific production periods and use-by dates, expressed by the term "lot". These lots must be replaced, for example in recall campaigns or when nearing their expiry date. Fast allocation and localization of the lots and instruments in which they are used should simplify the process.
