Tracking Medical Device Recalls With Tags – Let’s Play Tag (Microsoft Tag)

Recently I have written a couple posts about how useful Microsoft Tags could be for tracking information on medical devices and received some responses and email with folks wanting to try them out, so here’s a couple samples of what type of content can be added to a tag.

Hold the cellphone right up to your computer screen and get the information.
