ScopeGuard Health

📋 The reality today

Modernize and automate your compliance workflow.

Every GI center documents a multi-step reprocessing workflow by hand — every scope, every cycle, every day. It works until it doesn't. And when it doesn't, the consequences fall on the administrator.

📋

Missed steps

A leak test gets checked off before it was run. A scope hits its cycle limit and no one notices.

🔍

Documentation gaps

The AER printout ends up in the wrong folder. Patient-scope linkage gets lost between binders.

⏱

Survey surprises

Four hours to pull 90 days of records when a surveyor arrives — and no guarantee they're complete.

⚠ Recent public incidents — anonymized

This isn't a historical problem. These are recent incidents.

6,400

Patients notified by a federal medical center after a wrong scope connector went undetected for five years. Public report · 2024

2,200

Patients notified by a regional medical center after infection control gaps were identified in endoscopy — some dating back two years. Public report · 2024

Top-10 AMC

Suspended a GI endoscopy physician after inappropriate scope handling — at a major academic medical center, just months ago. Public report · Late 2024

Facility names omitted intentionally. All incidents drawn from publicly reported events within the past 18 months.

📈 What's changed

The pressure is increasing, not decreasing.

📘

AAMI ST91:2021

Tightened storage and documentation standards. Many centers don't realize their current protocols are non-compliant until a surveyor cites them.

🏛

CMS expansion

Expanded ASC procedure list and launched New Jersey prior authorization requirements in December 2025.

📜

NJ Healthcare Finance Act

June 2025 law pulled single-room practices into annual assessments starting this year.

Cadence is rising. 2024–2025 is the peak.

FDA safety communications, CDC guidance, AAMI revisions, and accreditor bulletins are arriving faster than independent centers can absorb them.

📐 A quick self-check

How exposed is your facility — and what could it cost?

Answer four quick questions for an exposure score, then estimate the dollar impact. Both use industry-published averages. Neither is a quote, an assessment, or a diagnosis — just a starting point.

Step 1 · Exposure quiz

Tell us about your facility.

Question 1 of 4

How many endoscopy suites does your facility operate?

Question 2 of 4

When was your last AAAHC or Joint Commission survey?

Question 3 of 4

Has your facility received a reprocessing or infection control deficiency in the past?

Question 4 of 4

How confident are you that you could produce 90 days of cycle records in under an hour?

🛠 Here's what we're building

Built for independent facilities, not hospital systems.

Enterprise compliance software is built for 400-bed sterile processing departments. ScopeGuard is built for your facility — 3 to 20 scopes, a small team, a binder on the counter.

📋

Guided reprocessing checklist

Your tech confirms each step on their phone. Timestamps are automatic. The AER machine log imports itself when the cycle finishes — no more printouts in the tray.

✅

One-click survey export

AAAHC, Joint Commission, or CMS formats — generated in seconds. 90 days of reprocessing records, AER data, and patient-scope linkage ready for surveyors instantly.

📡

Device and regulatory intelligence

Manufacturer IFU updates for your specific scopes, AAMI ST91 revisions, FDA safety communications, and state requirements — surfaced automatically so you're never surprised.

✓
Cycle documentation that maps to AAMI ST91:2021 §10.Every cycle traceable to scope serial, technician, AER, chemistry, MEC test result, leak test result — the fields surveyors actually request.
✓
Manufacturer reference library maintained by ScopeGuard.Olympus 180/190 series, Pentax 90i/i10 series, Fujifilm 700 series, and the AERs and chemistries that pair with them — selected from a library rather than configured from scratch.
✓
IFU update propagation with audit trail.When manufacturer guidance changes, your facility's documentation reflects it — and you have proof of when and how.

🖥 The prototype

Click through the prototype.

→ Compliance Dashboard

The administrator's morning view. Compliance score, today's exceptions, and the days-to-survey countdown — all in one screen. Replaces the half-hour each morning that administrators currently spend flipping through binders.

→ Scope Inventory

Asset-level history per scope. Every cycle, every leak test, every repair — tied to a specific instrument. When a surveyor asks "show me the reprocessing history for scope #04812," the answer takes seconds, not hours.

→ Reprocessing Logs

Real-time capture at the sink. Technicians log each step on a tablet as they work. Exceptions (a missed step, a bioburden alert) escalate immediately — not at the end of the month when no one remembers what happened.

→ Audit Export

Survey-ready in seconds. A full AAAHC- or TJC-aligned audit packet, generated on demand, mapped to the specific citations surveyors use — the same task that takes the average ASC three weeks of binder review.

→ Regulatory Feed

Regulatory changes, translated. When the FDA issues a new safety communication or AAMI updates a standard, the feed translates it into the specific workflow change needed at your facility — and applies it automatically.
