I am curious of what system you have for keeping your topaz machines from disappearing. We have lost 7 and we even have the GPS tracking system on them. Any ideas????

I have no clue what those are, but you could go the route of our glucometets; make them so big and slow that no one will want to take them

True! These are a special type of chest tube our thoracic surgeons use. Just needing some ideas on how to make everyone accountable.

Thanks

Log book - either old fashioned with a pt sticker on a book with the asset number of the item or tracking via an electronic system....

Locked storage when not being used?

Weekly auditing....

Why aren't the GPS tracking systems helping?
