History is something I love, because the more we learn from it, the more we understand the future.
In 1968 the Russians repeatedly told the American people “There is no way you will go to the moon, we have better technology and we haven’t even thought about it, there is no way you will achieve it”….The rest as we all know is history.
We Are Ready to Laser Mark Surgical Instruments!
One of the most important task following the FDA UDI rule (Unique Device Identification) is the marking and retrofitting of each instrument inside the hospital's supply chain with a 2D DataMatrix code. This barcode is universal (It can be GS1 as well) and can be read by any barcode reader, as well by any tracking system available in the market.
Surgical instruments laser marking on site. Laser marks with ZERO rust
We have been moving the laser unit around hospitals while running some tests and most importantly, perfecting the inside process for laser marking surgical instruments.
Surgical instruments laser marking. Is is just simple science
Presenting the new NuTrace Fiber Laser exclusively designed for the SPD.
Surgical laser tags for surgical instruments trays identification.
It is known that common labels applied to surgical trays won't last for long. The washer, sterilizer fades the ink out and make them pretty much
unreadable, at any moment when needed they won't read.
When we first started studying the physics of lasers, wavelengths, metals etc, it took me back to my early days of high school chem lab where I learned the basics of metals, the periodic table (yes, one-by-one with atomic mass, atomic number and symbol names). I was surprised back then to learn that the only element that rusts in nature is iron (Fe).
Surgical Instrument Laser Marking brings you a great control of each single instrument in the supply chain
But please make not mistake, it is one of the most sensitive variables in the instrument tracking process.
Tracking at instrument level shouldn't be painful
These days with the concerns over superbugs, prion diseases and other common issues related to instruments found in the operating room, instrument traceability is a must have. Tracking at the "Tray Level" really will not fix any of the problems above.
I want to start this article with one fact, I love my "job" and if you ask me what it is that makes me love it so much; my answer would be only one word “Learning”.
Surgical laser marking-etching can be extremely complex
We received a call from an SPD manager asking us to fix some surgical laser marks done no long ago by an industrial laser provider.
