Smart cleaning in the operating theater: button boards as the key to top hygiene

Modern hospitals are focusing on innovations to maximize efficiency, safety and hygiene. One particularly pioneering development concerns the cleaning of operating theaters through the introduction of "cleaning on demand" with button boards.

Traditional operating room cleaning is often done on a fixed schedule or after each operation. However, this method can be inefficient and lead to longer waiting times between operations. With the use of buttonboards, this process is now significantly optimized.

Buttonboards are intelligent control panels that are placed at strategic locations in the operating theater. This allows surgeons, nursing staff and cleaning staff to access them effortlessly. The innovative approach is that cleaning is no longer restricted to fixed time intervals, but can be activated as required.

The idea behind "Cleaning on Demand" is simple and effective: after each operation or when required, medical staff can start the cleaning process by simply pressing a button on the button board. This enables quick and targeted cleaning of the relevant areas in the operating theater without blocking the entire room.

This innovative technology offers several advantages. Firstly, the waiting time between operations is reduced as cleaning can be carried out immediately and efficiently. Secondly, it helps to maintain the highest level of hygiene in the operating room, which is crucial for preventing infections. Thirdly, it enables better utilization of operating theatres as less time is needed for cleaning breaks.

The integration of cleaning on demand with button boards represents a significant advance in hospital hygiene. This approach not only increases patient safety, but also significantly improves operating room workflows. Hospitals that rely on this innovative technology can take a decisive step towards efficiency and patient safety.
