Zusammenfassung:An inventory control system (2), comprising a blister pack (4) having a pierceable sheet that includes a plurality of printed circuits overlying each of the compartments (24) of the blister pack (4). The printed circuits are in electrical communication with a connector assembly (6), the connector assembly (6) being in electrical communication with a removable header (8). The header (8) is in communication with a microprocessor controlled device having a memory (10); wherein the microprocessor controlled device (10) determines the contents of the blister pack (4). The blister pack (4) and connector assembly (6) are removed from the substantially fixed header (8) so the contents can be distributed. As the contents are distributed from the blister pack (4), the printed circuits are broken. When the connector assembly (6) is reattached to the blister pack (4), electrical signals transmitted through the connector assembly (6) and the blister pack (4) determines the number of broken circuits, indicative of the cont
