The NBIR Device Tracking is a free iPhone application developed by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. It is a HIPAA-compliant tool designed to efficiently capture data necessary for device tracking, a requirement imposed by federal regulations on breast implant manufacturers. Physicians can conveniently fulfill device tracking obligations for Allergan, Mentor, and Sientra by utilizing this app.

Utilizing OCR technology, the app scans and extracts data from patient demographic forms and breast implant device barcodes. The collected information is securely compiled into a case report form and then submitted to NBIR, a collaborative effort between The Plastic Surgery Foundation, the FDA, and breast implant device manufacturers to enhance post-market surveillance for current and future breast implant devices.
