Instruments often disappear, and the idea behind tracking is use barcodes and scan trays so instruments are traceable. “Being able to have almost like a fingerprint for each one of these instruments and then like Seamus mentioned using that in conjunction with like a computer and a scanner it really helps all of these technicians and nurses regardless of what stage they're in have that level of visibility,” stated Long. Methods of tracking include electrochemical and laser. Data generated includes instrument location, when and where they were sterilized, and more, which creates a level of data not possible in past. One advantage of this is the cost-efficiency it creates. Instead of replacing a whole tray after a set number of uses, which is common practice, hospitals can target specific instruments. “If we know exactly what we need to refurbish based on instrument usage, we can then make really cost-effective decisions for maintenance,” Long explained. Another benefit of this software as a service includes less IT burden—they need not learn the pitfalls or review the security, scalability, and reliability of the service. “The advantage that cloud-deployed software brings is that we do that all for you. We have a team of professionals that do nothing but care for and feed sensor track,” Johnson stated. Johnson explained, “When we engage with a customer, we are looking for a way to help them improve. Take waste out of the system, do things more efficiently, do things better, ultimately knowing that they are going to make patients better. That's the number one goal.” Visit https://www.flexiquiz.com/SC/N/trackingtoinfinityandbeyond to earn your FREE CE Credit from HSPA (formerly IAHCSMM).Interested in learning more about Censis Technologies' surgical asset management platform?

Every new year brings with it New Year's resolutions. And these resolutions don't have to be personal goals, as Censis Clinical Educator Jill Sweeney explained to ConCensis' Tyler Kern. Resolutions can also apply to effective surgical instrument management. Sweeney gave Kern six solid ways that CensiTrac can help steer 2022 in the right direction.Losing weight is a resolution that is familiar to most, but in SPD, the goals are a bit different. “Running an overloaded sterilizer, having overweight trays, and problems that that can cause your SPD department,” Sweeney said. “You can end up with failed biologicals, just all-around poor sterilizer performance. The max weight allowance for each machine can be found in your sterilizer's IFU. In CensiTrac, you enter in that max weight allowance as your first step in your sterilizer compliance, and then CensiTrac will tally up those trays as your starting those loads and tally up what those trays weigh.” This resolution will help keep those weight limits down.Spending less money is a classic resolution, and CensiTrac is a budget-friendly solution that makes saving easy with its maintenance program. “You can set in maintenance uses for the trays, and then CensiTrac will alert you when those trays need routine sharpening,” Sweeney said. Routine maintenance-tracking reduces the expense of unnecessary maintenance of trays that are not ready for sharpening.CensiTrac can help keep track of routine tasks and make sure staff receives credit for their work. “A lot of times in sterile processing, staff are doing a lot of things that are outside the realm of what CensiTrac gives credit for in productivity,” Sweeney said. “Efficiency tasks is one of the modules, and that will help give credit to the staff for things that they're doing outside of what CensiTrac normally gives productivity credit for.”Interested in learning more about Censis Technologies' surgical asset management platform?

Camper on Tour - DER Podcast für Camper mit Dominic Bagatzky
Stand Reparatur unseres Bürstner Belcanto 650 TK Wie in Folge 68 bereits erzählt ist unser Wohnwagen ja leider nicht ganz dicht. Dieser steht nun seit etwas 1,5 Wochen in der Werkstatt. Leider hat sich die Sache insgesamt etwas verzögert da es aufgrund von Krankheitsfällen zu einem kleinen Rückstau in der Werkstat kam. Naja halb so wild, ich habe extra eine große Plane über den Wohnwagen gespannt damit nicht noch mehr Wasser eindringen kann. Denn leider kam auch noch dazu das die Werkstatt den Wagen nicht ins trockene stellen konnte, aufgrund größerer Umbauarbeiten. Am Freitag ging es dann los und ein kurzes Telefonat ergab das Sie am Heck angefangen und die Blende demontiert hatten. Die Blende selbst und darunter sah es wohl "übel" aus. Alles voller Dreck, die Blende hat keinen Ablauf und auf der rechten Seite ist die Schraube stark verrostet. Gerade letzteres lässt uns hoffen das eben dort dann das Wasser eingedrungen ist. Des weiteren wurde da anscheinend schon mal nachgebessert....aber mit was war nicht klar da der Kleber/Dichtstoff komplett ausgehärtet war und man somit zunächst einmal anständig reinigen musste. Am Bug wurde noch nichts gemacht. Das kommt dann wohl die Woche dran und wir hoffen eigentlich auf dasselbe Ergbnis. Die Werkstatt geht aber auf jeden Fall hin und dichtet letztlich zusätzlich die Blende oberhalb ab. So das erst gar kein Wasser mehr von oben in die Blende rein laufen und sich aufstauen kann. Wie kommen wir mittlerweile ins Internet In den letzten Tagen habe ich mehrere Emails bekommen welchen mobilen Router wir denn verwenden und was wir empfehlen würden. In 042 - Möglichkeiten zur Nutzung des Internets für mehrere Geräte habe ich bereits etwas darüber berichtet. Aber auch nicht in aller Vollständigkeit bzw. seit dem ist noch was dazu gekommen. Der Vodafone GigCube. Als mobilen Hosentaschen-Router verwenden wir den "Huawei E5331". Mit diesem sind iwr auch soweit sehr zufrieden. Mir fehlt allerdings die Möglichkeit eine externe Antenne anzuschließen was gerade im Wohnwagen mit Aluhaut ein Vorteil wäre. Den kleinen Router habe ich dann immer ins Fenster gestellt oder auch mal den Rollo der HEKI ein Stückchen raus gezogen und ihn dort oben drauf gelegt. Dank eingebautem Akku kann man diesen ja bequem ohne Stromkabel betreiben. Würde ich mir allerdings einen neuen mobilen Router zuelegen würde ich darauf achten das dieser die Möglichkeit hat eine oder zwei externe Antennen anzuschliessen. bei der schnellen Suche bin ich hier auf folgende zwei gestoßen: - Huawei E5372 LTE Cat4 4G Mobile WiFi Hotspot (150Mbps, HSPA+, WLAN, MiFi)* - NETGEAR AC785-100EUS AirCard 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot* Neu mit dabei: Der Vodafone GigaCube Des weiteren haben wir seit kurzem einen Vodafone GigaCube mit Flex Tarif für 34,95€/ Monat bei Nutzung. Das Gerät ist für den mobilen, stationären Einsatz. Was heisst das nun? Naja den Cube kann man nicht in die Hosentasche stecken und Akku hat er auch keinen. Somit also nichts um damit spazieren zu gehen. Aber für den Einsatz im Wohnwagen oder Wohnmobil sehr gut geeignet. Der Router bietet auch die Möglichkeit zwei externe Antennen anzuschließen. Im internet habe ich auch gelesen das man den Router auch mit Vodafonefremden Karten verwenden kann, was den Router auch für den Urlaub interessant macht. Im Zielland eine SIM Karte kaufen, einstecken, fertig. Denn der GigaCube Tarif mit 50 GByte Datenvolumen gilt leider nur für Deutschland und nicht EU weit. Vielleicht ändert sich das ja noch. Für alle die mit ihrem Wohnwagen oder Wohnmobil autark sind noch der Hinweis das der GigaCube zwar mit 12V läuft, aber leider kein Adapter für den Zigarettenanzünder oder so mit dabei ist. Hier muss man sich noch ein passendes Kabel kaufen oder selbst eins basteln. Es wird nur ein 230V

Kalt und ungemütlich war´s in Barcelona, als hätte jemand vor, die größte Handy-Messe der Welt mit der CeBIT in Hannover zusammenzulegen. Wir hatten trotzdem viel Spaß, vor allem weil zahlreiche neue Handys vorgestellt wurden. Wenn Ihr hier klickt, landet Ihr direkt bei iTunes und könnt Xonio 214 abonnieren. In Folge 75 von Xonio 214 lassen wir die Messe-Highlights Revue passieren. Dazu gehören das Sony Ericsson X10 Mini Pro, das HTC Legend, das Samsung Wave und das LG GD880. Außerdem urteilen wir über den Nicht-Messeauftritt von Nokia und werden technologisch mit LTE und HSPA+. Im Mittelpunkt der Messe standen Apps und Betriebssysteme, vor allem das neue Windows Phone 7. So viele mobile Highlights wird die CeBIT sicher nicht bringen, trotzdem müssen wir nächste Woche hin. Das bedeutet schon wieder eine Zwangspause für den Podcast, wir sind in 14 Tagen wieder da! (uba) Hier sind die Shownotes zu Episode 075 von Xonio 214: MWC total: Alle Handys, alle Dienste, alle Infos Video: Lisa auf dem MWC HTC, LG, Samsung & Co.: Die Handy-Hits vom MWC 2010 Angetestet: Garmin Asus Nüvifone A50 m it Android
Xonio 214 meldet sich zurück im neuen Jahr. Zunächst sammle ich mal ein paar Überbleibsel aus meinem Weihnachtsurlaub: drei neue Podcasts, die ich abonniert habe und meine Rezension des Twitter-Buchs von Nicole Simon und Nikolaus Bernhardt. Am meisten beschäftigt hat mich allerdings das Google-Handy, dessen Vor- und Nachteile ich im Podcast ausführlich darlege - von der Nutzerführung über Apps aus dem Android Market bis zu den Schwächen bei Kamera und Akkulaufzeit. Außerdem spreche ich mit unserem Test- und Technik-Chef Wolfgang über Handy-Trends 2009. Dabei geht es um Datendienste wie HSPA+, um Near Field Communication, Akku-Trends und natürlich um neue Handys. Nächste Woche stelle ich im Podcast unter anderem das Nokia 5800 XpressMusic vor, die neue Nummer zwei unserer Handy-Bestenliste. Und hier sind die Shownotes zur 20. Ausgabe von Xonio 214: Ein paar neue Podcasts: - The Monocle Weekly, Herausgeber Tyler Brulé über Business, Kultur, Design - Outside The Cinema: Trash- Horror- und Genre-Filme - Film Junk Und ein Buch: - Rezension Twitter-Buch T-Mobile G1 - Test: T-Mobile G1 (Android Dev Phone 1) - G1-Software im Test Handy-Trends 2009 - Die Trends des Technik-Experten - Hero, Topaz und Co.: 16 HTC-Handys für 2009 Neues vom iPhone - iPhone 3G: Unlock - So geht´s in 15 Minuten (uba)
