Once the Assembly Fluid Verification SmartApp™ is installed, the Administrator can activate the SmartApp™ allowing the operator to scan the assembly fluids bar code to verify the selected adhesive is the correct fluid for the production run.
Prevents human error in selecting the wrong assembly fluid prior to the production run thus eliminating the risk of quality defects. The assembly fluid is scanned, and both correct and incorrect are automatically recorded in the device history record every 24 hours. Excellent data for quality assurance documentation, cost accounting documentation and operator performance reviews.
Operation Sequence:
- The operator scans bar code on a syringe reservoir full of assembly fluid.
- SmartDispenser® finds the machine name and associated assembly fluid part numbers in the database.
- If the assembly fluid part numbers match the operator is allowed to proceed with the production run.
- If the assembly fluid part numbers do not match the SmartDispenser® sends message “Wrong assembly fluid selected.” To be cleared with Administrator’s password.
Device History Record Automatically Recorded in an Excel CSV file every 24 hours.
- Production run date is recorded.
- Production run time is recorded.
- Scanned adhesive product bar code number is recorded.
- Incorrect scanned adhesive product bar code number is recorded.
- Excel CSV file is created daily.
- Excel CSV file can be automatically emailed from the SmartDispenser® to the Production Manager daily.
This SmartApp™ was originally requested by a multinational medical device manufacturer who wanted to reduce human error and provide documented verification of the use of correct assembly fluids on the device history record..
