The main requirements were:

  • Centralise the traceability of all processes related to surgical instruments.
  • Ensure maximum regulatory compliance and patient safety.
  • Reduce manual management, improving operational efficiency and data accuracy.
  • Have a dedicated team of experts capable of following every stage of implementation and staff training.
  • Ensure operational continuity and constant monitoring of the system.

  • Track instruments, operators, cycles and movements in real time.
  • Store all data securely and permanently, ensuring regulatory compliance.
  • Monitor activities via intuitive dashboards and advanced reporting.
