The requisition module comprises a scanner and an electronic unit in communication with the scanner for transmitting data for remote processing. The compliance cards are associated with the first aid items. In one embodiment, the scanner and electronic unit are powered up upon opening the first aid cabinet. A compliance card is scanned by the scanner and data is remotely transmitted from the module for compiling a requisition order. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A requisition system for first aid items of a first aid cabinet having a compliance card with an RFID associated with the first aid items of the first aid cabinet comprising: a) generating a first data set including first aid items in the first aid cabinet, each first aid item associated with a compliance card with an RFID; b) removing a compliance card from the first aid cabinet when the first aid items associated with the compliance card reach a pre-determined minimum number of the first aid items associated with the compliance card, with the pre-determined minimum number of first aid items associated with the compliance card remaining in the cabinet; c) reading each of the RFIDs of the compliance cards remaining in the cabinet and generating a second data set; d) processing said first data set and said second data set to identify any compliance card that has been removed from the cabinet and generating supply data for the first aid items associated with each compliance card removed from the cabinet; and e) compiling a requisition order for first aid items based on said supply data. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The requisition system of claim 1 further comprising transferring supplies identified in the order to a facility where the first aid cabinet is located. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The requisition system of claim 1 wherein said reading of the RFIDs for the compliance cards is accomplished at pre-established times. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The requisition system of claim 1 wherein said reading of the RFIDs for the compliance cards occurs upon opening the cabinet and at a pre-established later time. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The requisition system of claim 1, wherein said step of generating a first data set includes reading the RFIDs of the compliance cards for each of the associated first aid items included in the first aid cabinet. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The requisition system of claim 1, comprising arranging the compliance cards associated with each first aid item to be visible when the associated first aid items are exhausted or reach a pre-determined minimum number. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The requisition system of claim 1, comprising managing the requisition orders according to a workflow established by an owner of the first aid cabinet. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The requisition system of claim 1, comprising equipping the first aid cabinet with an RFID scanner configured to read the RFIDs on compliance cards in the first aid cabinet. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The requisition system of claim 1, comprising: equipping the first aid cabinet with an RFID scanner configured to read the RFIDs on compliance cards in the first aid cabinet; equipping the first aid cabinet with WiFi; and transmitting the requisition order from the first aid cabinet using WiFi.
