Patent ID: 8533075

Claim:
A collaborative method for tracking and tracing a biomedical product utilizing data received from numerous supply-chain participants, comprising the steps of: printing, on a product packaging utilizing a printer, regulation required data about an individual item of the biomedical product contained within said product packaging from a manufacturer; printing, on said product packaging utilizing the printer, a unique Quick Response (QR) code which encodes a unique Uniform Resource Locator (URL) having a one-to-one mapping with said individual item of said biomedical product, which when invoked, responds with a unique landing page showing at least said regulation required data; receiving, via the unique landing page, supply chain participant data characterizing usability of said individual item and a directive related to use of said individual item from an authorized supply chain participant; initializing, utilizing a computer processor, a regulation rule based on the regulation required data that governs in part how said unique landing page is presented to different users over time, said regulation required data comprising data that is required by regulatory guidelines from regulatory agencies that regulate the biomedical product; initializing, utilizing the computer processor, a supply chain participant rule based on said supply chain participant data and said directive that governs in part how said unique landing page is presented to different users over time, said supply chain participant data characterizing usability of said individual item; initializing, utilizing the computer processor, a user role rule based on a user role that governs in part how said unique landing page is presented to different users over time; receiving, via the unique landing page, a scan of said unique QR code by a scanning supply chain participant; identifying, utilizing the computer processor, said scanning supply chain participant with said user role; and applying, utilizing the computer processor, said regulation rule, said supply chain participant rule, and said user role rule to present said unique landing page to said scanning supply chain participant, wherein the unique landing page is customized based at least on said supply chain participant data characterizing usability of said individual item received from one or more other supply chain participants and said regulation required data required by regulatory guidelines from regulatory agencies that regulate the biomedical product.
