How does SPM® track loaner trays?
With the assistance of a broad-based customer focus group, Microsystems has developed a loaner module that assigns a unique bar code to each loaner tray when it is received in the department. The location, status and sterilization method and compatibility information of each loaner tray is available in SPM®. Loaners can be tracked from Decontam to Prep/Pack to Sterilization to OR to case number, if desired. Each label provides the description of the tray, surgeon name, date and time of surgery, and any comments relevant to that procedure. Reports on vendor service, usage of loaners, etc. are available.
