ENDOSOFT’S GI-ENDOSCOPY SOFTWARE

More than 200 hospitals and 3,000 healthcare workers use GIEndoscopy, a scalable system that provides enterprise-wide image and data management solutions for physicians and nurses within an endoscopy department.

“Last year, we saved more than $40,500 using this system,” says Ann Rapson, clinical coordinator at Endoscopy Unity Health System in Rochester, NY. “Its benefits are invaluable to any endoscopy center that has a vested interest in efficiency, quality and productivity.”

The software allows endoscopy team members to use voice recognition, point-and-click PC options to avoid typing and specific templates designed for patient history, physical exam results, laboratory data and progress — eliminating warehouse storage space needed by many to hold these records.

SAN DIEGO ENDOSCOPIC PRODUCTS’ ENDO-CAP LEASH

The Endo-Cap Leash attaches a watertight cap to an Olympus 100, 140, 160 series sigmoidoscope, coloscope, EGD or ERCP scope. It reportedly does not get in the way during procedures, but rather reminds the endoscopy team member to put the watertight cap on the scope immediately after the procedure, prior to transporting, leak testing and cleaning.

According to company officials, the attached cap prevents caps from being lost, dropped or broken and also decreases down time and water damage repair costs.

The customized system offers improved regulation and automatic dosing of power, more precise CUT and COAG functions and three APC programs. Also, the VIO reduces set-up time; healthcare workers simply place the instrument into the receptacle and the plug and play digital instrument recognition technology automatically configures the entire system to the preprogrammed procedural parameters.
