1. A method of monitoring a stent comprising:
- obtaining readings of an environmental parameter from a sensor adjacent to a stent, the sensor positioned within or on a container including the stent; and
transmitting the readings from an RFID tag located within or on the container to a transceiver, wherein a maximum tolerance of the stent for the environmental parameter is stored on the RFID tag; and
comparing the readings to the maximum tolerance for the environmental parameter.
