    Hello,

    Wondering if anyone could recommend supplier/vendors who can take on medical device tracking for  various products?

    James,

    I am aware of two products and I didn't like both of them.  But I would take the freedom of offering some suggestions on how to shop around, if you are situated as such.

    Please be familiar with the tracking requirements including FDA guidance at http://wp.me/P4xpOK-18W
    Develop your SOP ADEQUATELY addressing all requirements.
    Develop Software Requirement Specifications (SRSs) for your tracking software/system
    Shop around device tracking softwares meeting "all your SRSs."
    Validate and finalize the system on your own (e.g., your firm).

    This way, you are taking both offensive and defensive approaches to survive any (negative) comments later by others in your firm.

    Note: it is advised not to choose a product because someone (credible) recommends and says so."
