Mr. Chang Hun Kim - Representative of Sakura Seiki - gave a speech at the Conference

Currently, most hospitals in Vietnam are still maintaining the traditional, manual and heavy-paperwork approach for management of medical device in general and infection control equipment in particular. This remains a burden in management , resulting in time and resource consuming, subjective errors, loss of medical supplies, etc. Therefore, SSMS solution introduced by JVC and Sakura Seiki at the Conference received great attention from participants.

Specifically, the system helps monitor and manage post-washed and sterilized devices by using 2D barcode that is labeled or engraved directly on the devices. Through this barcode, hospitals can easily manage information related to devices, such as name of device, classification, departments used, number of times and periods of reprocessing, expiry date, etc. This helps hospitals scientifically manage expired devices, optimize turnaround time, identify device location and departments used... Right after the speech, many participants expressed their interest and wanted to further understand the operation of the system, as well as the suitability to their context. 

Many participants visited JVC booth to learn more about the solution introduced by JVC
