Features & Benefits

Configurable Workflows

Configure your workflows to align processes with hospital policies and industry standards. SPM Endo modifies steps according to where the endoscope is in the process flow, ensuring technicians complete tasks with guidance based on competency levels. Automate documentation while consistently completing reprocessing steps, including:

  • Procedure details
  • Point of use treatment
  • Leak test results
  • Manual cleaning steps conforming to manufacturer instructions for use
  • Cleaning verification
  • Documenting high level disinfection (HLD) or liquid chemical sterilization (LCS) cycle parameters and results
  • Monitoring endoscope drying and storage hang time
  • Preventive maintenance tracking for complete scope lifecycle management

Complete Scope Tracking

No matter the step in the process, our software aims to guide technicians through expected and unexpected situations while managing conformance with policies and procedures. SPM Endo features allow you to:

  • Track standard reprocessing window timing (the period between procedure end and manual cleaning) and include custom instructions and steps if a scope is in delayed reprocessing
  • Set up hard stops to enforce users to complete steps before HLD or LCS
  • Alert technicians if a facility endoscope hang-time has expired and what to do
  • Leverage SPM's competencies module to cater endoscope workflows to staff according to their experience level and training

Electronic Documentation

Remove extra documentation steps, go paperless, and be audit-ready with AAMI-ST91 and SGNA conforming records. SPM Endo captures accurate and complete information for every step of your process as work is completed, ensuring your facility is procedure and audit-ready.
