摘要:
An apparatus includes, in one example, a tote configured to maintain a sterilized environment for carrying at least item selected from biological specimens, healthcare-related items, healthcare supplies, etc., an identifier coupled to the tote for tracking the tote, and a sensing module for capturing environmental data related to predetermined risks associated with environmental conditions to which the at least one healthcare-related item is subjected within the tote. A method includes tracking a tote configured to maintain a sterilized environment for carrying at least one healthcare-related item selected from healthcare-related items and healthcare supplies, determining whether the at least one healthcare-related item presents one or more predetermined health-related risks based on environmental data captured for an interior portion of the tote, and communicating a predetermined risk mitigation action in response to determining that at least one healthcare-related item presents the predetermined health-related risks. A system may implement the method.
