KEEPING TRACK OF THE IMPORTANT DATES – ISSUE NO. 560

I can already tell by this time of year how busy the rest of the year is going to be for me. I already have three weddings to attend, all out of town. March always seems to mark the time of year when dates fill up quickly on the calendar. Weddings, graduations, conferences and other commitments can keep you busy from now to the 4th of July. I have to keep all appointments in a calendar or else I will find myself forgetting about a doctor’s appointment scheduled from a few months ago. Receive a "save the date" for a family member's wedding? Better put the date on the calendar right away before you lose the postcard it came on. I’ve already lost one for this year. Reprocessing flexible endoscopes can be hard to keep track of as well. HangTime™ Labels communicate the specific date of a reprocessed scope. They also provide the added benefit of color coding. An advantage of having different colors is that they can reinforce the words - it is another safety measure to prevent contamination. Now reprocessing can be easier with labels that allow each endoscope to save their own date.
