Patent number: 10311395Abstract: An inventory data management system manages information related to items, such as implants, used during a medical procedure. The inventory data management system includes multiple sensing devices for reading set identification information from a container in which the set of items is disposed. The sensing devices are connected to a communication network and are placed in multiple locations, where each location is associated with a particular status of the set of items. The system also includes an inventory management computer that executes an inventory management application for receiving the set identification information from the communication network, and associating the set identification information with set status information based on the location of the sensing device that read the set identification information. An item inventory database stores the set identification information in association with the set status information.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2012Date of Patent: June 4, 2019Assignee: DeRoyal Industries, Inc.Inventors: Brian Clark DeBusk, Angela Michelle Sewell, John Garner Jacobs, Rex Alan Hurd, Elizabeth Ann White, Jeffrey Dennis Griffith, Samuel Joseph Elijah Fox
