Hospitals are increasingly becoming concerned about endoscope quality control and costs. Due to increasing demands for instrument availability and current workflow practices, many endoscope defects are not detected until they reach the operating theatre.
According to recent research, in about 10%-20% of operations involving an endoscope there is a problem or delay caused by a faulty endoscope being discovered in theatre.
PEACOCKS, working in partnership with DOVIDEQ medical, has introduced a new scope control unit. Benefits of the unit are said to include improved endoscope quality in theatre, reduction in costs, improved efficiency and work flow and reduced delays in the operating theatre.
