Endoscopes are critical to modern medicine—but they’re also among the most complex instruments to manage. From procedure to reprocessing and storage, the risks of lost scopes, missed documentation, and non-compliance are high. Hospitals face rising pressure from ST91 and Joint Commission standards, making accurate tracking more important than ever.
That’s why Mobile Aspects created ScopeTrace—a powerful yet simple solution designed to give hospitals complete visibility, automated compliance, and actionable insights for their scope management.
1. Complete Visibility, Zero Guesswork
ScopeTrace provides real-time tracking across the full scope lifecycle—from procedure room to pre-cleaning, reprocessing, drying, storage, and even repairs. A centralized Scope Command Center dashboard shows:
-
Where every scope is located
-
Which scopes are being reprocessed
-
Which scopes are nearing hang-time limits
With this clarity, staff can act faster, reduce delays, and eliminate the stress of misplaced scopes.
2. Automated Documentation for Compliance
Manual logs and human error are among the biggest risks in scope management. ScopeTrace eliminates paper logs by automatically documenting every step—usage, high-level disinfection, drying, storage, and more.
This not only saves time for techs and nurses but also ensures hospitals are always prepared for regulatory audits with full digital audit trails that meet ST91 and Joint Commission standards.
3. Proactive Alerts That Improve Safety
ScopeTrace is designed to prevent issues before they happen. Built-in alerts notify staff when:
-
A scope is overdue for drying or storage
-
A scope is missing or out of cycle
-
A scope is approaching hang-time limits
This proactive approach helps hospitals prevent infection risks and ensures every patient is treated with a properly disinfected and ready-to-use scope.
4. Actionable Insights Through Advanced Analytics
Beyond tracking, ScopeTrace delivers AI-powered analytics to help hospitals:
-
Spot bottlenecks in reprocessing
-
Reduce wasted or expired washes (UPMC saw a 76% decrease)
-
Optimize scope inventory (removing underutilized scopes cut 15% in lease & maintenance costs)
-
Improve turnaround times (UPMC achieved a 45-minute reduction)
These insights lead to smarter staffing, better purchasing decisions, and measurable ROI.
5. Built to Scale Across Hospitals & Health Systems
Whether you’re a GI lab, OR, enterprise health system, or infection control team, ScopeTrace adapts to your environment. It integrates with leading EHRs (Epic, Cerner, Meditech) and ERPs (Workday, Lawson, PeopleSoft) for seamless adoption.
Hospitals can also pair ScopeTrace with Mobile Aspects’ RFID smart cabinets, which provide built-in drying, secure access, and infection control features for an extra layer of safety.
The Bottom Line: Safety, Compliance, and Efficiency
ScopeTrace delivers more than just tracking—it gives hospitals the tools to:
-
Eliminate manual errors
-
Guarantee compliance
-
Boost efficiency and ROI
-
Enhance patient safety
As Dr. Adam Slivka, Medical Director of the UPMC Health System’s GI Service Line, said:
“Mobile Aspects’ technology has enabled us to upgrade our infection prevention standards and transform our inventory management. It has equipped us with the tools to standardize benchmarks and help each facility reach them.”
With ScopeTrace, hospitals gain peace of mind knowing every scope is safe, compliant, and ready for use—because patient safety can’t be left to chance.
