Mobile Aspects’ iRIScope system is designed to simplify and enhance endoscope management while ensuring full compliance with ST91 standards. Here’s how:
1. Automated Drying Compliance
One of the most critical aspects of ST91 is the requirement for proper endoscope drying. iRIScope automates this process by leveraging advanced drying technology, ensuring that internal channels are pressure-dried for the recommended duration. This eliminates manual errors and significantly reduces the risk of contamination.
2. Real-Time Tracking and Documentation
With RFID technology at its core, iRIScope tracks every step of the endoscope’s journey—from cleaning to storage—and provides real-time documentation. This ensures that reprocessing protocols are followed meticulously and that all records are readily available for audits.
3. Smart Storage Solutions
iRIScope cabinets offer an environment-friendly, contamination-free storage solution that aligns with ST91 recommendations. The cabinets monitor storage conditions and ensure that scopes are ready for immediate use, reducing delays and enhancing operational efficiency.
4. Workflow Optimization
By streamlining the reprocessing workflow, iRIScope allows healthcare staff to focus on patient care instead of manual documentation and compliance checks. The system’s intuitive interface and automation capabilities minimize the administrative burden while improving overall efficiency.
Why Compliance Matters
Non-compliance with ST91 standards can lead to significant risks, including:
Increased Infection Risks: Improperly reprocessed endoscopes can become vectors for cross-contamination.
Regulatory Penalties: Healthcare facilities may face penalties, lawsuits, or reputational damage due to non-compliance.
Operational Inefficiencies: Without proper systems in place, reprocessing delays can disrupt workflows and impact patient care.
Investing in a robust endoscope management system like iRIScope is not just about meeting guidelines—it’s about prioritizing patient safety, enhancing efficiency, and staying ahead in a competitive healthcare landscape.
iRIScope in Action
Mobile Aspects’ iRIScope has already made a tangible impact in healthcare facilities across the United States. For example:
At Brigham Health: iRIScope was implemented with 77 iRISupply Cabinets, a Mobilecart, and tagging consoles, helping the facility achieve unparalleled efficiency and compliance.
At UAB Hospital: The system enhanced the hospital’s specimen and scope tracking capabilities, demonstrating its versatility and effectiveness.
These success stories underscore how iRIScope can transform endoscope management, ensuring compliance with ST91 and delivering measurable ROI.
