Manage Product Models

To perform certain activities in MAESTRO (e.g. record a shipment, assign a product/device to a site or subject) product information must first be entered.  This Section describes the process of adding products (a.k.a. models) used in the study.  

Models typically reflect products of varying sizes, but they may be delivery mechanisms or other periphery parts involved in delivering or placing/securing a product.  Product may also refer to a drug or particular dosage of a drug. To add a product, follow Steps 1-4 below.

Step 1: Click on the Manage Product Models link as shown in Figure 1 below.

Figure 1: Manage Product Models

Step 2: Click on the Create Model link in the Actions sidebar as shown in Figure 2 below.

Step 3:        Enter the required fields (*starred) at a minimum.  See Figure 3 below.

Figure 3: Create Model Form

Note the following descriptions for the fields shown above:

• Model Num:  Enter the model number of the product. (*Required field.)
• Description:   Enter a description of the product. (*Required field.)

Check the following boxes where appropriate.  If unknown, mark as “no” (unchecked).

• Serialized product.  Check this box if the product model number has a serial number.
• Implantable.   Check this box if the product model may be implanted.
• Reusable (multi-use).  Check this box if the product model is able to be used multiple times.  [Note: Reusable, multi-use products (e.g. consoles or other equipment) may not be assigned to a subject in Maestro at this time.]
• Allow multiple expirations for single lot.  Check this box if the model will allow all products from a single lot to have differing expiration dates.

[Note:  Navigate between fields by pressing the TAB key.  The SPACE bar toggles the check box, or users may simply click on it with their mouse.]

Step 4: When complete, click the “Add Model” button.  The model will now appear in the Models tab.  

Repeat steps 1-4 to add additional products.

If your product is serialized, serialization may be automatically assigned to a subject from within a CRF if that information is captured.
