The ABACUS™ System can have a positive impact on reducing the amount of overtime required for the production of trays by reducing the number of instruments on each tray, and by decreasing the number of man-hours to reprocess trays. The elimination of manual systems of documentation, instrument tray lists and record keeping will also decrease man-hours.

(ABACUS System Priority ONETM is the first automated system that directs client resources to the processing of inventory needed for the next earliest case.  Applied Logic successfully links the hospital’s surgical patient scheduling system to the ABACUS System Priority ONETM, providing “real time” priority adjustments to surgical tray processing. Within the Sterile Processing Department, hundreds of inventory items need reprocessing daily, yet only a portion of those items need to be completed for the next day’s cases.  ABACUS System Priority ONE™ provides department managers specific real time inventory requirements that can be used to make informed decisions with regards to the necessity for incurring overtime, just to “complete all the trays” before the end of the shift. )
