In the interest of protecting patients, one of the Medical Devices Act's (Medizinproduktegesetz - MPG) requirements since 1998 has been the complete documentation of medical devices used.

Medical practices must always be able to provide evidence of any appointments for treatment, as well as supplier, manufacturer, and product data, including the exact batch number of preparations used, on a patient-by-patient basis. Furthermore, the material safety data sheet and instructions for use must be available for every product.

Supervisory authorities are verifying that these obligations are satisfied more and more frequently. Failure to comply with the record-keeping obligations can result in stringent penalties. Litigation can even jeopardise the future of a practice. DIOS MP is a powerful software package that takes over annoying manual inventory management duties. On top of that, you always keep track of your medical device inventory.

...so that you can work efficiently and safely tomorrow, too

Proper hygienic reprocessing of medical devices places considerable demands on the ability of personnel and the efficiency of the procedures used. Instruments must be cleaned, disinfected, and sterilised in accordance with the closely defined standards of the Robert Koch Institute. Moreover, the rules of the Protection against Infection Act (Infektionsschutzgesetz - IfSG) and employer's liability insurance associations must be complied with, among other things. Those standards can only be realised with automated procedures that can be validated, as well as perfectly hygienic sterile packaging. Modern container systems provide the high level of dependability required. And now DIOS MP assists in the management of these time-saving, highly future-proof reusable systems, too.
