IMS Power Ready® - When the trigger or foot switch is activated, your surgeons expect and deserve power equipment that works. Smooth, consistent power-tool operation is critical to on-time case flow and safe patient outcomes.
First, IMS InstrumentReady® Process Improvement increases power equipment uptime and functionality.
- An inventory assessment performed by IMS, working with your staff, will help you best understand the power equipment currently in your working rotation.
- Implementing a readiness review schedule regularly assesses the functionality of each power-equipment set.
- A departmental evaluation looks at each "touch point" that power-equipment encounters in its usage cycle and identifies areas for infrastructure changes and care-and-handling improvements.
- Targeted staff education is then provided, based on specific needs identified in the departmental evaluation.
- Competency validations are also conducted, and proof of competency is provided for individual training records.
- Ongoing trending and periodic progress reviews ensure that the steps of IMS InstrumentReady® Process Improvement are working to maximize the useful lifespan of your power-equipment inventory.
Then, when power equipment requires restoration, IMS provides a path back to readiness.
- IMS can work with you to establish a rotation schedule for proactive readiness evaluations of power sets at an IMS facility- preventing traumatic failure and ensuring uptime.
- Individual devices- large-bone tools / grafters, small-bone tools, shavers, attachments, batteries, foot switches, electrical cords, air hoses, etc.- can be restored with cost-effective IMS flat-rate pricing.
IMS quality is always there for you.
- The restoration of power equipment by highly trained IMS technicians is backed by a 90-day warranty for individual pieces.
- Warranty coverage is also provided for power equipment on routine readiness evaluation schedules at an IMS facility.
