use the system and to process instruments more quickly. This streamlined operation minimizes the time
staff needs to spend in front of the
system, maximizes productivity and
allows for faster turnover of instruments to the OR.
What advances in record-keeping
does the device provide?
When paired with ASP ACCESS,
ASP’s novel, new smart information
sharing technology, STERRAD Systems with ALLClear Technology are
the only systems that automatically
communicate information between
the system and instrument tracking
system or hospital network. This immediate communication of important
sterilizer cycle results and system
status changes to connected devices facilitates better compliance and
workflow insights.
ASP ACCESS collects, correlates, and communicates information across all connected ASP
systems and devices. This unique
feature minimizes the need for manual record keeping and reduces the
opportunity for human error. Additionally, it keeps the data accessible
and ready in the event of an audit.
How does the system balance
efficiency with preserving patient
safety?
ASP is committed to creating and
delivering innovative infection prevention solutions that advance the
quality of patient care. The same
features of our systems that maximize efficiency are also designed to
help preserve patient safety.
Surgical site infections (SSIs)
potentially caused by contaminated
instruments represent a prevalent
and deadly threat to hospitals. In
fact, the U.S. Department of Health
has identified SSI reduction as a top
national priority due to the impact
of SSIs on morbidity, mortality, and
cost of care. At 22 percent, SSIs
are the most common HAIs, and
28 percent of SSIs are related to
equipment cleaning and sterilization.
Ensuring instruments are prop-
erly sterilized is one way health-
care workers can help reduce the
incidences of HAI. Creating systems
that are intuitive and easy-to-oper-
ate reduces the potential for human
error during the sterilization pro-
cess. Our new STERRAD Systems
with ALLClear Technology do just
that and are also able to detect and
fix issues that may cause workflow
interruptions.
How does this device represent a
first step in improving OR efficiency? What further innovations
do you think are coming in the
future?
VISUALLY INSPECT SMALL LUMENS WITH REMARKABLE CLARITY
The Flexible Inspection Scope includes
a distal tip composed of a light source
and camera lens at the end of a water
resistant (non-submersible) flexible
shaft, which features graduation
marks. The FIS-003 is designed for
instruments 2.4mm in diameter or
larger and the FIS-S001 is designed for
instruments 3.3mm in diameter or
larger. The Flexible Inspection Scope is
a perfect tool to get a visualization of
any potentially soiled device. Software
is included and allows viewing
and recording.
