SATO printing solutions…the right medication to the right patient at the right time!

 








SATO, a pioneer in the Automatic Identification and Data Collection (AIDC) industry and a leader in barcode printing, labelling, and EPC/RFID solutions provides solutions to healthcare that are based on absolute positive identification of patients, medications, specimens and samples, treatments, lab results and records. Positive identification protects patient safety and helps avoid medical errors, while increasing hospital’s productivity and reducing their costs.

 

 

SATO printers can print industry-compliant barcode symbologies and formats. They are designed for use in environments that require high standards of hygiene and cleanliness.  The SATO labels, ribbons and wristbands are tested to withstand environment challenges: contacts with body fluids, blood, xylene and virtually every kind of chemicals and water as well as extreme cold and heat.
 

 

Types of SATO Wristband & Label Applications

 

Patient Registration & Discharge

SATO believes that patients should be well taken care of from the moment they step into a healthcare institute. As such, as little time as possible should be spent on administrative paperwork. With this belief, SATO has created a solution of both hardware and software systems to help minimise the registration process for healthcare institutes. SATO’s solutions include Patient ID labels, Rewritable Appointment Cards, Wristbands, Bedside Labels and Visitor Labels.

 

Patient Consultation

SATO’s aim is to eliminate all manual recording of a patient’s medical history. The common practice of recording a patient’s condition manually, sometimes result in illegible or lost records. This poses a real and potential risk to the safety of patients in the medical institution. SATO’s solution is to automate the storage and information upkeep process. This enables a more agile and systematic approach to the process and allows patients’ records to be accessed more effectively.

 

Specimen Collection

SATO’s Mobile Printing Solution enables specimen labels of patients to be printed on the spot, reducing the risk of mixing up specimens.

 

 
Laboratory Specimen Tracking & Verification

SATO understands that it is critical to upkeep laboratory specimens in a systematic order. Failure to do so may result in a catastrophic chain of errors. This might put your patients’ life at risk. Therefore, SATO invented a full suite of solutions to help healthcare institutes manage their patients’ specimens accurately and efficiently.

 

 
Pharmacy Counters

Accuracy is the order of the day at all pharmacies with the need to dispense the right medication to patients. With SATO’s solutions, pharmacists will be able to:

  • know the drugs that need to be prescribed instantaneously through their computer systems
  • find the correct drugs easily with our shelf labeling solution
  • generate medicine labels easily with our anti-microbial cased printers

 

Food Labelling

Ensuring food safety in the hospital kitchen is an important element of a hospital’s operations. With patients on differing types of diet plans based on their medical condition, SATO has just the right tools for hospitals. SATO has always been dedicated to the food management process and has extended our expertise to the food management process in hospitals.

With SATO’s food labeling solution, the possibility of delivering the wrong food to the wrong patient is greatly reduced. In addition, the patient too will be able to know the details of the meal they are consuming: Food Item Name, Nutrition Facts, Date/Time of Preparation and the “Best Consumed by” date and time.

 

Medical Supplies Tracking

Each medical institution will need to keep a vast variety of medical supplies to meet the needs of their patients. Efficient stock taking is thus vital to ensure that relevant medical supplies are replenished regularly and accurately.

 

Asset Management

SATO’s wide range of data collection systems enable medical institutions to track their inventory effectively. Based on your requirements, we can customise your data collection solution to help manage your assets more efficiently.
