ABSTRACT:
The present invention concerns a method and a system for tracking medical products in which the product (11, 12) and/or its packaging (16) is marked and identified with a first reference (18) that is stored in a first file (20) and the packaged product is shipped (7) to the client for storage for subsequent use for a patient listed in a second file (31). The references of the product are detected (27) automatically and remotely when it is shipped and stored in a third, or stock control, file (28) of the client at the time of an operation. Removal of the product from stock is detected (30) automatically, the references of the product are inserted in the second file (31) corresponding to the patient of the client for which it is used or is to be used, a fourth file is constructed (36) comprising partial references coming from the file of the patient and the references of the product that have been determined for tracking purposes, and this fourth file is transmitted (52) automatically or semi-automatically to the supplier (4) of the product.
