Until now, inventory control at the UMass Memorial Medical Center’s laboratories has been a manual process. But the hospital has installed a new automated system from Boxborough-based WaveMark to manage and track medical supplies.
The new system tracks equipment in cardiac catheter, electrophysiology and interventional radiology labs.
The system can manage the flow of items such as cardiac stents, balloons, catheters, guide wires, pacers and other related lab equipment. The UMass cardiac cath lab is one of the largest in the northeast, and has an inventory of about $1 million on any given day.
