Scan and use on a patient

You scan the QR on a pouch, see at once whether it is sterile, and record it against the patient you use it on.

What it does

  • Scan the code with the phone or tablet camera, with a barcode reader (it types the code like a keyboard), or type it.
  • Trasa shows the status at once: Sterile (safe to use), Expired, Used, Cycle failed or Packed (not sterilized yet). A pouch that is not sterile cannot be recorded against a patient.
  • Pick the patient by record number or name, or add them on the spot. You can note the procedure or the tooth.
  • Confirm that the indicator on the pouch changed colour. If it did not, the pouch is taken out of use instead.
  • The date, time and who used the pouch are recorded automatically.

How to use it

  1. Scan (the green button in the bottom bar on a phone).
  2. Point the camera at the QR or type the code.
  3. If the pouch is sterile: Use on a patient, pick or add the patient, Record the use.

Limits

  • The camera needs HTTPS and the browser's permission; at a desk, a USB barcode reader is easier.
  • It needs an internet connection (there is no offline mode).

History
