DataDiary: A practical solution for dentists from Miele Professional

Dentists are under obligation to document the successful reprocessing of their instruments. To assist with this task, Miele Professional is now offering a particularly time-saving solution based on an app. This receives cycle protocols automatically from a thermal disinfector, allowing cycle reports to be generated at a tablet PC – without a cable, USB flash memory or any other intermediate steps.

For employees in a dental practice, data transmission, approvals and data archiving is a repetitive task involving considerable effort. This typically begins with the transfer of data using a USB memory stick to the surgery's PC, capturing data from several consecutive cycles. And the more data needs to be saved, the longer the time spent away from more pressing tasks.

But now, Miele Professional has a simpler and faster solution. Using a new app called DataDiary, reprocessing data is transmitted straight from the thermal disinfector to a tablet. This occurs immediately at the end of each process stage and without any intervention on the part of staff. The documentation as such is also performed by DataDiary. Each employee using the system is identified by a user ID.

'The fast and intuitive user interface of DataDiary is impressive, allowing surgery teams all the more time to get on with what really counts', says Michael Sedlag, Head of Medical Technology with Miele Professional. With this, Miele has further extended its holistic range of products for greater security and maximum convenience in dental practices. The app is available for the Android operating system and is compatible with all thermal disinfectors from Miele's current generation.
