A data management system for use with sterile tubing welders that documents welding process information and provides traceability of the individual welds made by the sterile tubing welder. The data management system includes a communication module, a tubing welder and application software, and documents information and provides traceability of each sterile connection made by the welder. The communication module creates an electronic record each time a weld is performed on the tubing welder. The application software creates connection process definitions for the communication module, uploads connection records from the communication module, and allows review of the connection records.
