At ZulaFly, we know that every misplaced infusion pump or untethered vital-signs monitor eats away at your budget and compromises patient care. With our healthcare RTLS asset tracking software, you can reclaim lost equipment and restore operational efficiency—without adding headcount or disrupting daily workflows.
Infusion Pumps
Infusion pumps often wander from floor to floor, hidden behind curtains or tucked away in storerooms. Each untracked pump can cost $2,000–$5,000, and replacing just one per week can quickly strain your capital budget.
How RTLS Helps:
- Real-Time Visibility: Tagged pumps appear on your central dashboard the moment they exit a designated zone.
- Threshold Alerts: Geofences around high-use areas trigger instant notifications whenever a pump crosses a boundary.
- Automated Audits: Generate weekly “missing assets” reports in seconds—no manual inventory rounds required.
Wheelchairs & Stretchers
Busy hallways and emergency triage areas make wheelchairs and stretchers easy to misplace. On average, hospitals lose five of these assets every month, impacting patient throughput and safety.
How RTLS Helps:
- Zone-Based Tracking: Virtual zones in the ER, radiology suite, and ward wings show you exactly where each unit is.
- Utilization Insights: Identify under- or over-used locations to rebalance your fleet and reduce bottlenecks.
Portable Ultrasound Machines
High-value imaging devices frequently vanish into storage closets or get borrowed without logging. At $25,000–$100,000 apiece, loss is simply unacceptable.
How RTLS Helps:
- Motion Detection: Alerts you the moment a tagged ultrasound machine remains idle in a non-clinical zone for over 30 minutes.
- Checkout Workflows: Integrate with your existing loaner system so staff can “check out” a device via mobile app, ensuring full accountability.
Vital-Signs Monitors
Monitors roam between patient rooms, ICU beds, and procedure suites—and all too often get left behind in hallways or labs. Each missing unit slows down critical assessments and impacts patient care timelines.
How RTLS Helps:
- Battery-Level Notifications: Combine location with battery status so you always know when a device needs charging—and where it currently resides.
- Preventive Maintenance Alerts: Automate service reminders based on cumulative run-time, ensuring devices never unexpectedly go offline.
Emergency Carts (Crash Carts)
Crash carts are mission-critical—and any delay in locating one can cost lives. Yet they’re often missing when teams need them most.
How RTLS Helps:
- Door-Triggered Alarms: If a cart leaves its designated bay, alarms and SMS alerts go out to security and clinical teams.
- Drill Mode: Simulate a code blue drill to verify that your entire team can locate and respond to a cart within your target timeframes.
By identifying your most vulnerable assets and applying targeted RTLS controls, you can stop losses in their tracks and reinvest savings into patient care. Contact ZulaFly today to schedule a tailored demo and start protecting your equipment—and your bottom line—immediately.
