October 15, 2015 – CANTEL MEDICAL (UK) LIMITED (Cantel Medical) today announced that it has partnered with FingerPrint Medical Limited (FingerPrint) to deliver continuous improvement in endoscope decontamination processes for hospitals. It will achieve this by integrating FingerPrint’s advanced equipment lifecycle management software with its medical device reprocessing systems.
The partnership will enable hospitals and sterile services departments to eradicate manual data entry through the endoscope decontamination process. This will safeguard patient safety and provide staff with more time to focus on quality assurance checks.
Called P2P PROTECT Endoscopy Traceability Solution, the new integrated system captures machine, process and operator data by using the latest RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology in the reprocessing of flexible endoscopes through its MEDIVATORS® RAPIDAER® Endoscope Reprocessor.
The partnership enables a wide variety of process and usage data to be gathered and reported, delivering departmental managers with the visibility they need to effectively plan resources, ensure equipment availability and drive efficiencies. Furthermore, it will enable hospitals to demonstrate compliance with decontamination processes to help them target the reduction of hospital acquired infections.
