Tracking Surgical Sets with RFID
Simplifying the Management and Tracking of Your Surgical Sets
A surgical tool tracking system tells users the exact cycle counts that an instrument has done and, in actuality, has the power to halt further usage once the maximum cycles have been reached. Patient safety is increased, and manual cycle counts are completely eliminated.
How it works
TAG ITEMS
This tag can withstand an autoclave and is found on surgical sets and cases. Tags are designed to withstand the autoclave sterilisation and cleaning process that surgical sets and cases are subjected to. Radio-Frequency Identification labels may be applied to inventory products that are packaged. These tags may be attached to specialised gadgets on occasion.
ESTABLISH READ POINTS
Create radio-frequency identification read points, portals, and workstations. These read zones collect data for further study by collecting data about commodities as they pass by.
GAIN VALUABLE INSIGHT
When data is acquired, Gaining Important Information can be utilised to automate business activities. Use Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) to rapidly and accurately inventory objects and identify exceptions. This technology lowers the need for manual labour by reading multiple objects at the same time.
Valuable Workflows
WORK IN PROGRESS TRACKING
During the loaner and review processes, track surgical sets throughout their lifecycle. Understand which sets are re-entering your premises at the moment of receipt. Determine which sets require immediate turnout. Update backend systems with pertinent status as they pass through autoclave/cleaning and inspection. During the auditing process, employ RFID to automatically recognise the set and cases. Keep track of the set when it is stored or shipped, and make sure the proper system is updated.
ASSET MANAGEMENT
Track the location of surgical sets inside your facility. Use strategic read points to track and trace the asset’s whereabouts. RFID handhelds can be used to instantly cross-reference the asset list to determine discrepancies. The handhelds’ locate functionality can be used to pinpoint the location of a certain asset.
