Scalable instrument management system improves accuracy and eliminates errors

Unfortunately, inaccurate paper count sheets and tray errors frequently occur in
surgical facilities because of illegible mark-ups from multiple users, product confusion
and other human errors.

To help alleviate these costly mistakes and eliminate your vast inventory of paper
count sheets, SourceMedical offers the SourcePlus Instrument eManager, powered
by CENSIS®. Instrument eManager is an effective, easy to implement and affordable
surgical instrument management solution that configures instrument sets to a precise
standard and improves the accuracy of your tray content.

With SourcePlus Instrument eManager, your facility will experience:

•   Improved count sheet accessibility and tray accuracy – saving labor time
The system is comprised of a database of information that allows technicians to
simply scan a tray barcode and print the correct count sheet for accurate assembly
and precise count sheet management.
 
Assembly and staff training are also made easier using the database of information
and photographs of more than 40,000 commonly used surgical instruments, along
with images of your customized tray configuration to assist with any discrepancies. 
 
With a single electronic repository of information, the staff now has one central
location for managing tray count sheets. No longer will staff have to search through
filing cabinets for the correct count sheet or make photocopies each time a revision
occurs.

•  User-friendly technology working behind the scenes
The SourcePlus Instrument eManager solution’s touch-screen, menu-driven user-
interface allows any staff member to perform the required tasks with minimal
training. And, because the system is Web-based, updates of the latest software
versions will occur without costly downtime. As additional protection, your data is
backed up regularly by an off-site server to allow you and your staff to focus more on
patient care and less on the technical details.

The SourcePlus Instrument eManager Solution offers seven easy steps for your facility
staff to simplify tray processing:

1. Receive tray as it exits the washer
2. Scan the tray barcode to print the count sheet
3. Assemble instruments in tray
4. Verify tray contents are accurate and complete
5.  Build a sterilization load with assembled containers, wraps, etc.
6. Assign the load to a sterilizer via the bar code scanner
7.  Perform interface with sterilizers to automatically capture sterilization records
