Intelligent Connector System with Firmware

Fischer Connectors has released SmarTRACK, an intelligent connector system with integrated firmware designed to help prevent misuse of devices. SmarTRACK controls information embedded into a connector such as product identification, serial number tracking, storage/ retrieval of calibration data, and counting or usage timers. It offers an easy method to embed microprocessor intelligence into a connector.

A significant benefit of having embedded intelligence in a connector is that it contains a counting device.

Months of hardware and software development effort can be saved by adopting this system. It offers an easy method to manage product information and helps prevent unintended use of a product.

Numerous companies worldwide deploy disposable medical products containing limited use components such as Fischer Connector's Limited Use Connector (Fischer L.U.C.). The SmarTRACK system, when added to the Fischer L.U.C., prevents misuse of medical devices. Disposable medical devices often cannot be adequately sterilized after use, therefore, preventing reuse or misuse is essential.

SmarTRACK can be used on any Fischer connector, including the L.U.C. SmarTRACK comes with a data loading module, a graphical user interface, and an application guide.
