LITTLE FALLS, N.J.,
Dec. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- CANTEL MEDICAL CORP. (NYSE:CMD) and Censis
Technologies announced today a new long-term partnership to combine
Cantel's leading infection prevention endoscope reprocessing
workflow portfolio with the surgical asset management and
instrument tracking solutions from Censis.
The new enhanced, co-branded software solution will combine the
CANEXIS™ Integrated Workflow Solution for Endoscopy from Cantel
with Censis' CensiTrac® surgical asset management software to
create the leading instrument reprocessing and scope tracking
software available to the market. Leveraging Censis' strengths in
software development, cloud-based technology, and professional
services and support with the leading position in endoscope
reprocessing and infection prevention from Cantel, the combined
solution will support endoscopy customers with best-in-class
quality management tools, providing peace of mind and confidence
that their facility is executing best practices to support patient
safety and infection prevention.
This enhanced integrated workflow solution is a key tool in the
fight to avoid the spread of infection, while helping to protect
patients and reducing the economic burden on facilities, while also
supporting improved efficiency and understanding of the use of
critical medical devices in healthcare facilities. In today's
environment, efficiency and process consistency are increasingly
critical to the day-to-day and long-term success of infection
prevention, and this software application is an important resource
for helping to ensure a consistent repeatable standard of care and
process at each facility.
Healthcare associated infections (HAIs) are a complex and
persistent issue in healthcare facilities. Each year, approximately
1.7 million HAIs occur, and outbreaks also pose a severe economic
burden to the health system, with the total direct, indirect, and
nonmedical social costs of HAIs to hospitals ranging from
US$96 billion to $147 billion.1
"We are thrilled to be partnering with Censis on this critical
endeavor," said Michael Spicer,
President, Medical Business Unit at Cantel. "At Cantel, we strive
to ensure our Complete Circle of Protection includes best-in-class
offerings for our customers and patients, and by partnering with
Censis, we are taking the next step toward providing greater
efficiency, protection, and analytics to allow our customers to
maximize their practice workflow while providing solutions designed
to improve the safety and protection of their patients."
Randy Smith, CEO, Censis
Technologies said, "The relationship with Cantel will expand
Censis' leadership in surgical asset management and tracking
solutions by further introducing innovative SaaS-based technology
for the reprocessing of endoscopes. We are excited that the
combined efforts of these two organizations will provide our
customers opportunities to improve patient safety, workflow
optimization and analytics."
Within the United States, users
of the current CANEXIS™ Software can look forward to robust
coverage, including implementation, upgrades, and technical
support, as their service is enhanced through the co-brand
partnership.
