Clifton, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/26/2018 -- ImageFIRST Healthcare Laundry Specialists introduced the new ImageFIRST ScrubVAULT System, a locker designed to improve scrub management at healthcare facilities.
Scrub management is an issue for many health systems, as staff may unintentionally wear their scrubs home or lose them. Other times, there is not enough inventory or correct sizes to meet the needs of staff. These issues may result in shortages or costly replacements. To effectively manage inventory and minimize these problems from occurring, ImageFIRST created the ScrubVAULT System.
This easy-to-use locker with a compact footprint securely stores, dispenses, and tracks distribution of scrubs. With this system, medical personnel have real-time visibility of scrub inventory and usage. The locker opens with a code unique to each staff member and enables them to select and wear scrubs. All ImageFIRST scrubs are tagged with safe UHF RFID chips, a proven technology already in use in medical equipment by healthcare facilities.
The UHF RFID technology keeps track of how many scrubs or what sizes were taken, who borrowed them, and when they were taken and returned, offering full transparency and allowing for proactive replenishment of scrubs before medical facilities run out.
"Once it reads the code, the ScrubVAULT System opens in about two seconds, and the staff member can just pick the size she or he needs, and they're set," said Jay Juffre, vice president of operations and national service director of ImageFIRST. "And unlike other scrub dispensers, a person can take two or three sets, so they have everything they need...They don't have to keep going back."
The ScrubVAULT System, in addition to ImageFIRST's other products and services, helps medical facilities avoid shortages. ImageFIRST offers linen programs, patient gown rentals, and many other services in New Jersey and surrounding states so that medical staff can prioritize patient care instead of taking time to manage inventory.
