Product Information

More than just a Tracking System...

Traybax®…unlike many other systems on the market; is not just a Tracking System; it is a comprehensive sterile services management solution that allows you to manage production and instrument usage through to every patient with complete efficiency and accuracy. The system includes a full suite of management applications that enable you to take total control of the financial management, planning, quality assurance and documentation of sterile services

Traybax® will help you maintain effective control of your purchases, stock control and production. Traybax® provides solutions for financial analysis, invoicing and credit control of dispatched goods. It will track all instruments to specific locations, customers, departments and the patients on whom the instruments were used.

Traceability at Every Step...

European Standards and the Medical Device Directive have increased the traceability demands placed on sterile goods and their processing. These have led to the increased demand for accurate documentation and records of the sterilization processes. Traybax® excels in this area. All the processes are captured and recorded through the means of machine readable bar codes. Providing a very effective way of recording this information, while minimising the demands make  on the personnel involved. Sterile goods can be traced from receipt in to the sterile services department, through the washer disinfectors, packing area, autoclaves processing and dispatch where we can detail the locations (transfer point) and the customer receiving the goods.

Once the instruments have been used on a particular patient, they can be linked to that instrument or set of instruments.

Which should the need arise you will be able to identify the patient to the set and all the previous and subsequent patients on whom that item has been used.

Individual Instrument Marking and Tracking...

Professional healthcare services demand the ability to identify trace uniquely the instrumentation both in sets and those used as singular items. To enable hospitals to achieve this demand Traybax® helps you to apply unique codes to all the items in your inventory. They can be identified through hospital sites, departments customers (owners) and whether they are a member of an instrument set or single; supplementary item. We then provide as an integrated part of Traybax® readers that allow the reading and verification of the identification codes in under one second.

This is achieved by applying a permanent 2D data Matrix code to the surface of the instrument. This patented approach of laser marking the instrument minimises any potential of the instrument surface being compromised or the risk harbouring bacteria which may occur with other technologies, and as a permanent mark it will not become detached or need periodic replacement.

PC Free Environment...

Uniquely to Traybax® is the ability to have a PC free department. So Instead of having computer workstations taking up your valuable space, Traybax® can be installed without. We simplify the whole process by using only networked scanners and wireless hand held PDA scanners throughout the processing area. So now your autoclave operators and others, can perform all the tasks required; in real-time; without them keep returning to a workstation.
