Loan Set Traceability
Comprehensive tracing of loan set equipment is a directive of the Medical Devices Agency (MDA) and consequently every healthcare organisation using loaned equipment must have access to current and historic information.
The Loan Trace suite of software products addresses these issues by utilising the Medical Standard 1(MS1) data repository in combination with the Departments of Health's (DOH) chosen coding standard GS1. This combination enables healthcare organisations to track loaned medical devices and equipment between sites no matter where they are based.
Features and Benefits
As live data is always available, users of the Loan Trace suite of applications will have access to:
- The latest product reprocessing instructions
- Documents relating to use and storage of equipment
- Access to theatre trayset audit information
- A comprehensive view of equipment currently on loan and sets that are available
- Facilities to issue and receive medical devices and theatre sets
- A Loanset Management software that enables you to exchange medical equipment between other hospitals sites safely, efficiently and accurately
