Effective decontamination of surgical instruments is critical in the management of healthcare associated infection. The debate on patient safety is now taking place in the full glare of the public amid claims that patient safety is being compromised by contaminated medical devices.

The science of washing and sterilising surgical instruments is becoming evermore complex as the potential risks of harmful microorganisms such as Variant CJD become more widely acknowledged.

It is essential that the practices applied to the reprocessing of surgical instruments be of the highest quality, reflecting modern day standards and in accordance with increasingly stringent and complex guidance and legislation.

Sterile Services Professionals are also having to cope with changes to service delivery as the National Programme for Information Technology (Connecting for Health) and The National Decontamination Strategy begins to impact on local services. In addition, as with all branches of healthcare, sterile services departments are been asked to make savings and increase productivity.

Scantrack Healthcare Systems (UK) Ltd is dedicated to providing solutions which assist in the management of Sterile Service Departments.

Scantrack's Instrument Management System (IMS4) provides the Sterile Services Professional with a powerful solution for traceability and process management, delivering both end-to-end traceability of individually marked items and instrument sets, and a suite of highly productive business tools to help run a sterile service facility.
