  • Inventory Management: Track sterile supplies, ensuring no shortages or expired items are used during procedures.
  • Real-Time Updates: Real-time tracking ensures staff have up-to-date information about inventory and product readiness.
  • Non-Conformance Recording: Any issues with sterile packs are logged immediately, linked to the patient and procedure for full accountability.

Endoscopy

Endoscopy procedures require meticulous tracking for high-value instruments and devices. Our solutions enable full traceability and reporting for all endoscopy tools and equipment:

  • Endoscope and Tool Traceability: Track all scopes and related equipment used in procedures, ensuring the correct devices are used for each patient.
