AESCULAP Aicon^® RTLS

Knowledge at Every Step

Real-Time Tracking and Insights for Optimal SPD Efficiency

Missing surgical sets can significantly impact hospital operations, costing both time and money. Finding them can be a source of stress for sterile processing departments (SPD) and operating room (OR) teams. Pairing real-time location services (RTLS) technology with our AESCULAP Aicon^® Sterile Container System is designed to improve SPD efficiency to help provide the OR with the instruments they need, when they need them. This integration delivers real-time, automated tracking data and insights to help avoid surgical delays, reduce manual processes and streamline workflows between both departments.

How Does It Work?
  

Attach the RTLS Beacon to the Set
This small, durable device is designed to withstand the rigors of the sterilization process. It is securely attached to the AESCULAP Aicon® Sterile Container System and remains with the surgical instrument set throughout its journey within the hospital. 

Generate Real-Time Data
The RTLS beacon automatically feeds data to the SQ.track™ Instrument Tracking System. This software communicates each surgical instrument set’s exact location and status in real time, utilizing a network of gateways placed throughout the facility to relay this information.  

Access SQ.track Instrument Tracking System
The software platform can be accessed by OR staff, SPD technicians and hospital administrators to ensure sets are processed, sterilized and delivered to the OR when needed.  

Get Automated Alerts and Reporting
The software not only tracks, but alerts staff of surgical instrument sets that need to be prioritized for an upcoming surgery. In these instances, the RTLS beacon will emit an audible alert to notify staff immediately.
