MaQs       Product Overview

 

MaQS (Management and Quality System) is a Windows based client-server system that will track and trace surgical instruments from process to patient and manage pre-sterile inventory and implants.

 

All data is stored in a centralised database and a suite of Windows based programs is used to administer MaQS while the tracking is performed by either handheld Windows CE laser devices or USB cabled scanners:

 

 

The handheld laser devices (also referred to as 'handheld' or 'PDA' in this document) can be wirelessly connected to the network. If they are not wireless capable, they can still be used in 'batch mode' by attachment to the PC via a cable for the transfer and receipt of data.

 

MaQS was developed in Australia in conjunction with Sterilising Service departments and Operating Theatres.  This partnership has enabled the program to meet the requirements of both these areas and provides verification of mandatory requirements of AS/NZ 4187.

 

The MaQS Application Suite describes the software in more detail.
