THE KEY ADVANTAGES OF DTS™ NEW!

The DTS™ software provides easy analytical reports about
the items and activity cycles registered in the system.
The information in the reports can improve and ease
asset management and documentation, and most
importantly increase cost efficiency and patient safety.

PATIENT SAFETY AND INFECTION The new DTS™ compatible LM-Servo E cassettes are designed
CONTROL DOCUMENTATION to improve traceability and safety. An advanced RFID chip can
be integrated into the cassette to ensure full traceability in

instruments have passed the proper reprocessing steps, inspections, and
validations. The database includes the records for the specified disinfection,
maintenance, and sterilisation procedures and includes the detailed history of
every instrument and material. Reducing risks through automatic checks and
alerts adds an additional layer of safety without cumbersome manual work.

PROCESS OPTIMISATION AND COST REDUCTION

Costs related to logistics and material handling account for approximately
30% of the total operating expenses of health care providers*. LM Dental
Tracking System provides the possibility to track the flows of both single
use materials and instrumentation throughout the clinic, as well as
the decontamination and sterilisation room or central sterile services department
(CSSD). Key performance indicators are defined e.g. based on the existing quality
system or standard operating procedures. The big amount of data made available
by LM Dental Tracking System makes it possible to benchmark the best practices,
analyse and optimise process workflows, and systematically strive for continuous
improvement.

COST REDUCTION PROCESS OPTIMISATION

EDUCATION SUPPORT

Technology offers new possibilities to support learning and to validate
competences in dental education. LM Dental Tracking System can e.g. be setup
to document the instruments and materials used in preclinical exercises by
each student. Misunderstandings, for example regarding which instruments or
materials to use in a certain phase of a restorative procedure, can be identified
and rectified without delay. Proof of competence or learning of e.g. a specific
procedure can be validated and documented. In the preclinical laboratory,
reprocessing steps can be simulated or validated depending on the setup and
equipment.

ASSET MANAGEMENT HOW MUCH
WOULD
Having the right instruments and materials in the right place at the right time is YOU PROFIT
crucial at large hospitals as well as small clinics. Having knowledge of the exact USING DTS™?
location and status of each instrument, handpiece, and material allows for
efficient daily planning and long term budgeting. Locating misplaced instruments Calculate at
or balancing uneven inventory levels between rooms or departments is easy with dentaltracking.com/dts-benefits
the cloud-based LM Dental Tracking System. Personal accountability through
RFID identification of instrumentation reduces loss of assets.
