The operational challenge
An operational record loses value when the supporting evidence remains separate from the activity being reviewed. A sterilizer printout is especially useful when the reviewer can identify the correct load and the assemblies associated with it.
The SurgiDat approach
SurgiDat offers a mobile app and sterilizer printout capture as part of its broader operational approach. Bring mobile use and printout evidence into the implementation conversation alongside assembly identification, load records and audit review.
The value to evaluate
Mobile access and printout capture can reduce the distance between the task and its documentation. The value to test is whether staff can capture usable evidence and retrieve it with the right operational record.
A practical workflow
Choose the mobile task
Agree where the mobile app fits the team’s daily operation and confirm the supported tasks on the proposed devices.
Identify the right record
Use the relevant assembly or load identity so captured evidence can be associated with the correct processing lifecycle.
Capture the printout
Capture the sterilizer printout clearly, including the details staff need to recognize the machine and cycle record.
Review in context
Review the captured evidence with the load, cycle, assembly list and applicable release or quarantine record.
An illustrative scenario
A reviewer needs the evidence for a specific processing load. The team uses the load and assembly context to find the relevant captured printout and compare the supporting details with the processing record.
Measures for a facility pilot
- Captured printouts that are legible and correctly associated
- Time to retrieve the printout for a sampled load
- Recapture frequency and user effort for the selected mobile task
A focused starting point
Test the intended mobile devices and a range of real printout formats with sample records. Agree capture responsibility, association rules and how reviewers retrieve the evidence.
Scope and interpretation
Confirm mobile platform support, permissions and the exact task set before rollout. Capturing a printout does not imply OCR, automatic cycle interpretation, offline operation or independent sterilization validation.
