Going Digital for Medical Device Visual Inspection

Challenges with paper-based documentation and reporting

This article discusses the reasons why paper-based documentation and reporting makes visual microscope inspection of medical devices inefficient and unreliable. It also addresses other factors concerning paper-based documentation and reporting which cause the overall inspection workflow to be less efficient and reliable than desired.

Key Learnings

These are some important reasons why paper-based documentation and reporting make overall inspection workflows inefficient and unreliable:

Errors during documentation on paper and filing/archiving of paper documents, records, and reports
Traceability of inspection results for audits and trending data analysis for risk management and process optimization
The need for much storage space of papers and the amount of work required to manually digitize them at a later time

You can achieve a digitally enhanced inspection approach with the help of the Exalta smart device for traceable microscopy. It allows you to minimize the challenges of paper-based documentation and reporting and makes visual inspection of medical device parts and components more reliable and efficient.
