Abstract

A web-based endoscope management system and method for managing, scheduling and tracking in real-time the processing of endoscopy equipment in a single site or across multiple sites. The system allows various useful information relating to the managed endoscopy equipment and its processing history (such as equipment status, equipment movement, equipment repair history, cost and procedural efficiencies, what individuals have processed or come into contact with the equipment) to be tracked and analyzed. The system incorporates a user display and prompt to assist users in following the proper processing and cleaning protocols (preparation, pre-cleaning, automated reprocessing, repair, etc.) for the equipment. The system uses a color-coded display so that pertinent information can be seen at a glance. This system is used in conjunction with a suitable color-coded labeling scheme to reduce the possibility that users will process the wrong equipment or improperly store it.
