Barcode app records medical device data

A local entrepreneur created a simpler way for health industry workers to record medical device manufacturer data. Through the patent-pending smartphone app SxanPro (pronounced scan-pro) designed by Ashlea Souffrou, users can scan a device’s barcode and capture data including the manufacturer, reference number, lot number and expiration date. The service is available for almost 3 million devices, and that number is growing, Souffrou said. The cloud-based software links the data from the app to a website so the user can view lists and create reports.
