Equipment List Screen
The Equipment List screen displays your facility’s inventory of equipment. It includes both STERIS and other company’s equipment that is in your ConnectCare system. It also includes both connected and not connected equipment; for example, a surgical table could be in the list, but it will never be connected and no cycles will ever be run on it. Cycles are run on connected equipment, such as sterilizers and washers.
Basic information about equipment can be seen on this screen. Click on the serial number of a device to open the Equipment/Device Data screen that contains additional information about the device. Refer to the help topic titled “Equipment/Device Data screen” for more information.
