  1. Armin Schorer CEO • 35 years in healthcareforsurgicalinstruments and medicaldevices • 20 yearsprocessingof OR and CSSD with design ofsoftware • 15 yearsresearch in markingsurgicalinstrumentswith RFID technology • 1998 founding ASANUS in Neuhausen ob Eck, nearby Tuttlingen South-West Germany • myvision„All Processesaround in Operating Theatre fully electronical transparent“ Business units • Surgical Instruments • Informationtechnology • - Software engineeringwith RFID Technology

  2. Digitalisation of Operating Theatre and CSSD Quality Assurance with Real Time Logistics

  3. Actual situation in hospitals Central Sterilisation Department Operating theatre • Low ornodetailedinformationaboutaboutdailyneeds in OR (Black Box) • lowknowledgeaboutoperationpurposeofsurgicalinstruments • Nodaily real time plan aboutthe OR needsforsurgicalinstruments • Maintainaince, sterilisation and supplyofsurgicalinstrumentswith high pressureforcssdstaff • Communication via phone and paperno real time • lowpayedstaffwithloweducationlevelfor high techmaintainanceforthousandsof different surgicalinstrumenttypesofmillions $ value! • Noview and informationinto CSSD workflowprocesses (BlackBox) • Noinformationaboutstatus and contentof sterile packedinstrumentsets • High pressure in OR „time ismoney“ exchange time fornextpatientistolong! • Low knowledgeaboutcleaning, maintainance and ofsurgicalinstruments • Expectation: Everythingisreadyforusewhenthey do need it. • Comunicationto CSSD via phoneorpaper

  4. Consequences Central Sterilisation Department Operating theatre • Missing Instruments in sets • Wronginstrument in sets • Searchingofinstruments • Additional useoffull sterile othersetforgettingonesearch • Long waiting time forpatient and staff upon seaching • Operation postpone upon searching • OR time becomelonger • Costs increase • Frustration and conflict OR - CSSD • Fealuresduringpackingofinstrumentsintotrays upon missingitemsorwrong item packed • Uncoordinatedsupplyofinstrumentsto OR due tomissing OR informationsoftheirdemands • Finger pointingfrom OT staffto CSSD staffwith high conflict potential and frustration • High sick rate ofstaff – pressure

  5. Risk for Patient – left Instrument in body Hip Implant Operation 200-300 instruments – 20 sets Counting 2 persons a. before operation b. after operation Which human is perfect and counting as a machine? 3000 lost items per year in German hospitals Source: Study by Siemens 2007 Re operation cost 10-20.000,-- Euro + image loss + penalties + ………………

  6. ASANUS Solution with RFID und BarCon Software Central Sterilisation Department Operating theatre • RFID registration at entrance of OR and disposal out of OR area • Digital information about set content packed in CSSD of each instrument • Digital information about set localisation • Counting of instruments during operation with RFID registration – all items are out of patient ! • Marking surgical instrument with RFID chip • RFID registration during packaging process of instruments –all items have to be registration RFID RFID Set RFID • Marking of sterile container set with RFID • RFID Registration of sterile containers at supply RFID trolley RFID

  7. Digitalistion Results in hospitals Central Sterilisation Department Operating theatre Digital real time communication with ASANUS BarCon Software and RFID Tags Unique worldwide • Digital informationof • Daily operation plan and it´sinstruments and material demandforeachcase • Material movementfrom CSSD to OR and back • repairsofinstrumentsfrom OT • Claims from OT • Maintainance and mediainformationofeachinstrument • Efficiency in planing and preparingsets in CSSD for OT in real time • Lesser traysneeded per Operation • Lower costs • Staffmoremotivated – moreoutput! • Digital informationof • Setcontent in real time • User manualsforitems in OT • Set localisationstatus • Instrument Sets are permanent completereadyforuse • 10x fastercountingofinstruments in OT • Safteyofpatientassuredwith digital RFID countingprocess in OT – noinstrumentmaybeleft in patient!

  8. Case Care Management Software by ASANUS In real time monitoring of material demand and supply status in supply and user areas Unique worldwide

  9. Conclusion Intelligent BarCon Software with RFID Chip Technology do automatingprocesses in hospital Automatizationofprocesses • do lowersignificantthe total productioncosts • improvesignificantthequalityofwork • achieve maximum patientsaftey!
