A lens including a posterior surface, an anterior surface, and at least one identification marking on the lens. The at least one identification marking exhibits a first degree of visibility in an ambient lighting condition and a second degree of visibility greater than the first degree of visibility in a lighting condition different than the ambient lighting condition.

An ophthalmological implant including an imaging optical element, and a haptic with a haptic root. Also, a corresponding method for producing an ophthalmological implant and a characterization system for identifying an ophthalmological implant for example an intraocular lens. The implant includes an unambiguous label and hence an unambiguous and reliable identification option. The label is not able to be mixed-up and is possible with minimal additional technical outlay. The implant includes a rotationally symmetric structural code of identification data of the ophthalmological implant arranged on the haptic root and/or the region of the haptic proximate the haptic root. Also, a method for producing an ophthalmological implant, in which the implant receives, directly during or after the forming, a rotationally symmetric structural code of identification data.

An eye drop bottle storage unit for eye drop administration compliance includes a memory, a processor, and one or a plurality of eye drop bottle pods, where each eye drop bottle pod of the one or said plurality of eye drop bottle pods is configured to hold an eye drop bottle, and comprises one or a plurality of sensors. The memory is configured to store data of an eye drop administration regime of a subject. The processor is configured to receive signals from the one or said plurality of sensors of each eye drop bottle pod, and to determine from the received signals whether the subject administered eye drops into eyes of the subject from each eye drop bottle respectively held in each eye drop bottle pod of the one or said plurality of eye drop bottle pods in accordance with the eye drop administration regime data.

A lens including a posterior surface, an anterior surface, and at least one identification marking on the lens. The at least one identification marking exhibits a first degree of visibility in an ambient lighting condition and a second degree of visibility greater than the first degree of visibility in a lighting condition different than the ambient lighting condition.

BODI is an implant prescription and supply chain revolutionizing service. BODI is bringing accountability to the industry for surgical implants. It lowers both costs and risks for implant manufacturers, distributors, healthcare providers, insurers, and ultimately patients. The purpose of BODI is to provide transparency and safety when handling surgical devices and ultimately reduce costs for members, surgeons, and insurers. Medwell's BODI reduces the need for error-prone data entry and provides a solution that is completely automated throughout the chain of custody and beyond. By implementing our BODI tracking system, hospitals, surgery, and manufacturers will recognize annual savings while meeting strict compliance regulations and improving patient outcomes. By 2025, the current database system will encompass “blockchain” technologic capabilities to further enhance the system for all users.

A sterile processing information system receives data from a hospital clinical system representing scheduled surgical procedures and identified hospital owned assets for the respective surgical procedures, and also receives third party asset data electronically in a parsable data format from the vendor inventory management system representing scheduled surgical procedures and the third party assets for the respective surgical procedure. The system manages the sterile processing of both hospital and third party assets, and in particular creates a count sheet with a barcode for each of the third party assets.

A heart prosthesis that includes at least one information marker and methods of using the heart prosthesis are disclosed. The at least one information marker can indicate any suitable information associated with the heart prosthesis, e.g., one or more of a manufacturer, type, model, feature, size, and date. And the heart prosthesis can include any suitable prosthesis, e.g., a prosthetic heart valve or an annuloplasty prosthesis.

An example automated product cabinet includes a housing defining a storage area configured to receive a product and a face. The cabinet includes a plurality of slots, where each slot is configured to receive a respective unit of the product, and a plurality of visual indicators configured to indicate positions of the units of the product. The cabinet includes a scanning bar configured to be slidably repositioned along the face of the housing, and a data capture device attached to the scanning bar and configured to capture information about the product. The cabinet includes a controller operably coupled to the data capture device. The controller is configured to inventory the product based, at least in part, on the information about the product, and actuate one or more of the visual indicators that are associated with a desired unit of the product.

A carrier for retaining a plurality of implants each comprising a structurally encoded pin, the structurally encoded pin having a shape or surface characteristics discernable by an imaging modality such as x-ray, fluoroscopy, computed tomography, electromagnetic radiation, ultrasound, visible light, UV light, magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography and neutron imaging, from outside the carrier, the shape or surface characteristics representing structurally encoded data. The invention further discloses a carrier for viewing a plurality of implants, and associated reading systems for reading a plurality of implants. Finally, the invention discloses methods for reading a plurality of implantable devices retained within a carrier.

An eye drop bottle storage unit for eye drop administration compliance includes a memory, a processor, and one or a plurality of eye drop bottle pods, where each eye drop bottle pod of the one or said plurality of eye drop bottle pods is configured to hold an eye drop bottle, and comprises one or a plurality of sensors. The memory is configured to store data of an eye drop administration regime of a subject. The processor is configured to receive signals from the one or said plurality of sensors of each eye drop bottle pod, and to determine from the received signals whether the subject administered eye drops into eyes of the subject from each eye drop bottle respectively held in each eye drop bottle pod of the one or said plurality of eye drop bottle pods in accordance with the eye drop administration regime data.
