Filed:

Feb 1, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/775262

Inventors:

James L. McMenimen - Ham Lake MN, US
Christopher J. Campbell - Oakdale MN, US
Barbara K. Ruble - Minneapolis MN, US
Willa M. Fabian - Edina MN, US

Assignee:

Medtronic, Inc. - Minneapolis MN

International Classification:

G06F017/60

US Classification:

705 28, 705 7

Abstract:

A medical device production and supply information management system for just-in-time inventory control at the manufacturing facility, vendor stocks, material/product tracking, distribution and shipping management, to thereby reduce inventory at all points in the product manufacturing distribution/delivery chain. The system is implemented using a preferably Web-enabled information network and data communication with a programmer. The programmer provides access to product information, specification and related data for implanted medical devices from which build-to-order or build-to-replenish commands are issued to the manufacturing center. The system is interactive within the information management system that is integrally and seamlessly connected with patients, hospitals, sales offices and related consumption hubs, including manufacturing facilities.

International Classification:

G06F017/60

US Classification:

705 28, 705 22

Abstract:

A medical device production and supply information management system synchronous with manufacturing, planning and scheduling, product consumption forecast, and component purchase to enable just-in-time inventory control at the manufacturing facility, vendor stocks, material/product tracking, distribution and shipping management to thereby reduce inventory at all points in the product manufacturing, distribution/delivery chain. The system is implemented using a preferably Web enabled information network and data communications with a programmer. The programmer provides access to product information, specification and related data for implanted medical devices from which build-to-order and build-to-replenish commands are issued to the manufacturing center. The system is interactive within the consumption management system that is integrally and seamlessly connected with patients, hospitals, sales offices and related information hubs including manufacturing facilities. The invention enables management of inventory levels of medical devices through the interactive information management system by accurately accounting for inventory stored in sales offices, distributors and sales representatives, as well as implanting institutions to ensure that all centers have appropriate and adequate stock that is replaced on just-in-time basis under the build-to-replenish scheme.

International Classification:

C08K 7/08
C08K 7/10
C08G 59/18

US Classification:

524450, 106461, 106464, 106467, 524789, 524791, 528 87, 528 92

Abstract:

A two-part epoxy-based structural adhesive composition comprising a curable epoxy resin, an amine curing agent, a toughening agent, and an oil-displacing agent. The structural adhesive may optionally include reactive liquid modifiers, fillers, secondary curatives, reactive diluents, surfactants, metal salts, pigments and combinations thereof. The structural adhesive may be used to form bonded joints between adherends having clean surfaces, as well as those having surfaces contaminated with hydrocarbon-containing materials, such as oils, processing aids and lubricating agents.
