ConnectSx Beacon automatically logs and displays an audit history whenever an inventory item's Lot Number or Expiration Date is modified or removed. This change history ensures full chain-of-custody traceability, supports FDA 21 CFR Part 11 regulatory compliance, and provides clear visibility into field and warehouse adjustments.
Key Features & Capabilities
Modification Timestamps: Displays the exact date and time the Lot Number or Expiration Date was last edited.
User Attribution: Identifies the specific user account that made the modification.
Status Badges: Applies a visual Lot Changed flag to the item detail card whenever the lot number differs from its original record.
Compliance Audit Log: Preserves previous data points in the system's background audit log to maintain complete traceability for quality and regulatory audits.

Field Rules and Restrictions
Feature Rule | Description |
UDI Lock | If a verified UDI barcode is present on the device, the parsed Lot Number and Expiration Date are treated as the source of truth and cannot be edited manually unless the UDI string is cleared first. |
User Permissions | Modifying lot numbers or removing expiration dates requires specific Admin or Operations user permissions enabled in Organization Settings. |
Historical Permanence | Once a change is saved, the updated timestamp and user log persist on the device detail record even if the item is transferred, placed on hold, or consumed in a surgical event. |
