SteelcoData Ares

Complete Endoscope Reprocessing Traceability.

SteelcoData Ares is a web-based and cloud-ready traceability software designed explicitly for tracking and monitoring each activity implemented in your ARES department, guaranteeing the full traceability of your endoscopy workflow, thus significantly improving the reprocessing efficiency and performance. Meeting the operational requirements of the endoscopic room, the software promptly and efficiently traces and provides relevant information to maintain safety and high productivity.

The software can be integrated with different types of equipment to collect further data and information. With a smart storage infrastructure, it efficiently stores all endoscope history relevant data, ensuring any search to be fast and straightforward, seamlessly visualizing all the details needed. SteelcoData Ares supports hands-free input from both barcode or RFID identification systems.

RFID Hands-Free Process

Steelco ARES platform RFID hands-free process starts from pre-washing units to AERs and Drying Storage Cabinet. Traceability identification of operators and scopes is made safe with the touchless use of bracelets or badges. No need to touch the device control panel anymore, thus reducing potential cross-contamination risks and enhancing nurses’ and patients’ safety.

A Complete Suite

SteelcoData Ares is part of the suite of different tailor-made solutions developed by Steelco. It is designed to meet the operational requirements of the endoscopic room, track information in a timely manner, and provide information to maintain a high level of production.

The system is able to perform an effective control on each activity carried out, thanks to a technologically innovative IT traceability tool that improves the reprocessing performance of endoscopy departments in an integrated way.

To properly function, SteelcoData Ares has to be connected to the basic software of the suite, SteelcoData Live which acts as the connection between Steelco machines and any software processing the data collected.

Endoscope Reprocessing Traceability Workflow

SteelcoData Ares is a complete software application designed to track endoscopes.

The software architecture is based on different control points that each endoscope must pass to be processed in order to move to the next area

When endoscopes move to the next area in the endoscopy department, the system checks whether all previous steps have been successfully undertaken. Operators are acoustically advised if operations have been done correctly.

Machine data at hand

A user-friendly web interface shows real time machine statuses (video-wall or tablet wi-fi or workstation): at start it can be connected to a single workstation to be then configured to any size of facility.

Thanks to its cloud-based nature, it can be used at multiple locations within the healthcare network and staff is able to access it anywhere there is an internet connection and a Windows or iOS base device.

It is intuitive to use with excellent application and technical support available up to 24/7 in a multitude of languages, depending on contract.

Full Traceability

SteelcoData Ares provides operators with a comprehensive overview of the use of the endoscope.

Through desktop or mobile devices, it is possible to check-in the endoscopes at the point of use. SteelcoData Ares also links all the cycle’s relevant information of the endoscope reprocessor to the endoscope ID, and collects:

Operator, date and time of use registration
Clinic/endoscopy room where the instrument is used
Nosological and patient identification data
Doctor information

The system has been developed following the HL7 protocol for data exchange.
