Medical device tracking and reprocessing system
Abstract:
The system describes a software implementation to track use and cleaning of medical devices in hospitals and other medical settings. Further, the system may track cleaning (e.g. temperature, movement) and location (e.g. RSSI, etc.) of a medical device. The system may include boxes that sit on the wall in the cleaning rooms, sensors on the medical devices, sensors on the individuals who handle the devices, and a separate Wi-Fi® wireless network that relays information from the box to a computer in the facility, that relays the information back to the cloud. In some embodiments, a supervisor or other superior gets notified if proper cleaning and reprocessing methods are not used. In other embodiments, the surgeon/doctor can scan a medical device when presented for use and see its use and cleaning history.
