From pacemakers, hip prostheses to breast implants: an average hospital uses hundreds of medical devices every day. But which exact device was used for which patient? This is often recorded manually. "Slow and, moreover, copying a number incorrectly is done quickly. In the case of a defective implant, when a so-called recall takes place, this can lead to legal problems", opens Bert Lantin, CEO of Besco. "eCoMET ® is a 100% digital & error-free solution".
Did you know that the physician is legally responsible for the correct registration of medical devices? And therefore also legally liable for incorrect or incomplete registrations? eCoMET ® makes this procedure 100% conclusive and in order in a few seconds. "But there are even more advantages", says Bert Lantin of Besco. "Many hospitals still track medical devices and implants on paper or via self-applied stickers. That takes a lot of time compared to our smart scanning system. Moreover, it is not linked to databases such as stock, planning or pricing. The result? Human errors with the necessary financial consequences".

1x scan

Besco puts an end to this. “With eCoMET ® (the successor to SteMaTo Implants) you can manage, trace, link and invoice automatically & digitally”, adds Jos Bessemans of Besco. “This is all done by scanning the GS1 code (a barcode that every medical manufacturer is required to add to the packaging). Our smart databases automatically link this information (including lot, serial number and expiration date) to the patient file, inventory system, planning, accounting and even the mandatory European databases.”

 

AZ Klina is convinced

One of the pilot hospitals that uses eCoMET ® is AZ Klina in Brasschaat. “Scanning results in a serious time saving. Moreover, we as a hospital and our doctors are certain that no more incorrect registrations will take place”, sums up Katrien Meeussen, deputy chief pharmacist at AZ Klina. “Finally, we now know immediately the cost of the materials used during an intervention. An important step in the budget management of the future”.
