Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2004/109572
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A medical device rental system includes a plurality of hospitals and a medical device rental center operated by a rental enterprise which has made contracts with the hospitals. The hospitals are connected to the medical device rental center by a communication line. The medical device rental center delivers an endoscope desired by a hospital from a stock room on a specified date and collects it after the inspection in the inspection room in the hospital. The center washes and sterilizes the endoscope which has been rented, in a reprocess room and places it in the stock room. Thus, a medical device requested by a hospital can be rented to the hospital for value by the medical rental service system and it is possible to effectively support the medical inspection at a low cost.
