Tuttnauer’s New T-Connect Software

Recently, there’s been a new trend in medical technology, connectivity. Using software and apps to monitor your autoclaves and their respective data for convenience and ease of use. Tuttnauer has gotten in on this as well, with their new T-Connect software. This new application aims to help manage your units through the entire sterilization process. Managing every bit of necessary data for easy archiving and accessibility. And in this article, we’d like to go more in-depth about how this new software can potentially help improve the workflow of your practice.

What is T-Connect?

Tuttnauer’s T-Connect software was created to better improve workflow efficiency and productivity. They believe that integrating various systems, instruments and devices into a unified, intelligent ecosystem is the way to accomplish this. With a wealth of different features to give you a better connection to your Tuttnauer units, this software is a powerful asset to any user. Things like paperless documentation, device diagnostics and troubleshooting. And the T-Connect app aims to minimize your device downtime by letting you know what the problem is right when it happens. Knowing where and what the technical issues are can help speed up the service process so your unit can get back in the game in no time flat. 

Now that we’ve given an overview of what to expect, let’s dive into the T-Connect app’s other incredible features. 

Minimizing the Downtime Through Connectivity

We mentioned above that this application is here to minimize your device downtime. But how does it do that? In a few different ways, actually. Things like:

Remote Device Access

With T-Connect, you can view the information of your autoclaves from any smart device. You can use this to monitor cycles as they’re going, saving a trip to the device itself just to check for time. And this remote access can even give you the ability to follow up on serviced units for resellers or service repair shops. That way you can monitor a customer’s unit to know if there’s any issues their unit is having without having to call or stop in.

No Paper Trails

T-Connect’s data collection and storage capabilities remotely and automatically log and move unit data to a cloud that can be accessed on any smart device. In the industry, your autoclave’s time, temperature and pressure data are all key factors to be recorded. That being said, while important, the paper trail that comes with recording every single cycle can be quite time consuming to print, file and manage. But with T-Connect, your days of printing are behind you, with easily accessible and sharable cloud data that can be accessed by anyone at any time. 

Predictive Maintenance

In line with taking the hard work out of the equation, the T-Connect app can detect maintenance and service issues before any human can. Tuttnauer describes this feature as being useful for avoiding long tech service calls. Or alleviates the need to describe an issue over the phone. With T-Connect, once a problem occurs, just look at the autoclave’s data logs and look for the issue it logged. This feature helps to ensure you don’t spend hours diagnosing the issue when you could be using that time solving it. With T-Connect, even the simplest issues can be diagnosed and fixed remotely. 

Remote Software Updates

This one is simple, with remote access comes remote features, like software updates. Nowadays, most autoclaves are reliant on some kind of software, which gets updated from time to time. But there might be a time where your unit needs an update and you’re not in. Thankfully, with T-Connect, you don’t have to wait until you’re back in-office. You can use the app to update your unit remotely from anywhere with a connection. 

Notifications and Alerts

Along with automating a huge majority of your day’s worth of autoclave processing, T-Connect can be set to notify you of important events. Things like preventative maintenance periods need to be closely monitored so that they get done on time. But sometimes keeping track of even that can be difficult. And that problem is what inspired our Free Preventative Maintenance Program here at SAS. With T-Connect, you can set alerts for things like maintenance messages, cycle history, automatic material replenishment and more. And, with remote monitoring, your service center or reseller can fully support you and help manage the service alerts. And when it’s time for maintenance, your service provider can notify you and walk you through the process. 

Final Thoughts

Technology continues to advance for the sake of convenience in various sectors, including the medical field. And it’s crucial for medical technology to evolve to meet the changing demands of healthcare. Recognizing this need for innovation, Tuttnauer has taken a significant step forward with their T-Connect application for their autoclaves. This app revolutionizes the way autoclaves are managed, by automating essential services that could otherwise be overlooked. Sending timely notifications for crucial events, and providing remote access for enhanced efficiency. By incorporating the T-Connect app into their workflow, medical practices can save time, streamline operations, and ensure the highest standards of sterilization and patient safety in a modern and connected healthcare environment.
