Development of a Safe Syringe Disposal System Moving towards Automated Syringe Data Collection.

Conclusions: The ANDY can be used to track the syringe used for each patient. The barcode can be read while the syringe rotates in the main body of the ANDY with a built-in omnidirectional scanner. Collection of information during syringe disposal can facilitate stock management. This system could also be extended to other types of consumable medical devices, although it would still be a challenge to differentiate each medical device. PMID: 30788181 [PubMed]
