Making complex inventory management easy
In radiopharmacy, inventory management is complex. Isotopic decay, regulatory compliance, and the risk of radiation exposure means production and QC testing can be difficult to manage.
But PETra’s Inventory Management module allows those handling radiopharmaceuticals, from commercial isotope producers to hospital radiopharmacists, to safely and effectively manage and track materials.
Comprehensive traceability using barcodes
By using labels and barcodes, this module allows users to scan inventory to provide comprehensive traceability on equipment and materials used in and out of batch records. This reduces risk by only allowing entry of approved barcodes, disallowing expired or quarantined stock, and eliminating human error through manual data entry.
Manage radioactive materials, equipment, and consumables
PETra now has the flexibility to handle not only radioactive stock, but also consumables and equipment. With the use of instrument performance tests, you can scan barcoded equipment into your batch record and have PETra automatically populate the calibration status.
Information such as weights or signatures from the Production Process or QC Release testing can also be brought in directly from the scanning of a barcode.
Location management
PETra has locations and sublocations that can be used to restrict where items are placed, significantly increasing the likelihood that users put items in the appropriate locations such as refrigerators and freezers.
The flexibility of PETra’s labelling system not only generates barcodes and lot numbers automatically but also can print handling and storage information automatically based on the storage location’s requirements. Labels can also be customised by the user using the software’s label designer.
Low stock notice
Users are notified of low stock based on defined date parameters per item and PETra provides a convenient overview of current inventory stock levels. The software can generate multiple inventory reports in a variety of formats, allowing users to see stocks in real-time.
