From the winners: “The Quest autoclave safe asset management device provides autonomous surgical kit tracking and monitoring. Managing these kits for Surgery Centers is crucial for accommodating the migration of cases to same-day outpatient surgical facilities that do not have the storage and sterilization processing bandwidth for the influx of elective procedures.”
“COVID-19, increased pressure on healthcare spending, and physician surgery center ownership have fueled a migration of elective surgical procedures to same-day outpatient surgery centers. These facilities are not equipped to manage the geometric increase in case volume they have experienced, necessitating an outsourcing of services including surgical kit sterilization. The Quest autoclave safe cellular-IoT asset management device provides autonomous surgical kit tracking and monitoring to manage and streamline the outpatient surgery center surgical kit supply chain, allowing location and sterility status of kits to be monitored remotely.”
“The Quest asset management device is the only autonomous autoclavable cellular-IoT tracker in the healthcare space with a five-year battery life. Once the unit is attached to a surgical kit, our customers can monitor the location and usage of the kit using the QVue predictive analytics software reporting engine. The limited sterilization processing capacity of outpatient surgery centers has created an urgent need for accurate surgical kit location and status. The Quest device offers unique insight for surgery centers to outsource the sterilization process and still manage their case volume demands with visibility into field inventory.”
