A method of tracking the failure rate or usage of a hand wearable comprising the steps of:

• providing a hand wearable comprising;
• a barcode scanner attachment device, the barcode scanner attachment device receptacle being configured to removably couple thereto a barcode reader;
• a trigger device, the trigger device being electrically coupled to a trigger port of the barcode scanner attachment device receptacle;
• a nonvolatile memory device, the nonvolatile memory device being electrically coupled to a memory port of the barcode scanner attachment device;
• wherein the nonvolatile memory device stores hand wearable, barcode scanner, or both specific information;
• wherein the nonvolatile memory device holds the stored hand wearable, barcode scanner, or both specific information when power to the nonvolatile memory device is turned off;
• wherein the nonvolatile memory device makes the stored hand wearable, barcode scanner, or both specific information available when the power to the nonvolatile memory device is turned on;
• connecting a barcode reader to the barcode scanner attachment device;
• and
• communicating between the barcode reader and the nonvolatile memory via the barcode scanner attachment device.
