Welcome to GuideControl
GuideControl is Dovideq's take on the light guide cable tester. In 10 seconds your cable is tested on 3 parameters: Light Transmission, Light Fibers and Colour Correctness. Here you'll learn how to set it up, how to use it and how to work with GuideControl and EndoscopeManager.
If you want to store your test results from GuideControl, you'll need to know some things about EndoscopeManager. This video gives you a quick introduction to the system.
Step 1: Go to www.EndoscopeManager.com
Step 2: Log in with your credentials. Don't have an EndoscopeManager account? Please contact us.
Step 3: From the main dashboard, click on the plus icon on the bottom right next to the pie chart.
Step 4: Select the condition of your cable. You have the options New, Used, and Refurbished. Then click next.
Step 5: Select your brand and type from the dropdown menu. As an example we're using an Arthrex AR 3240 5027. Then click next.
Step 6: Enter the cables serial number. Depending on how you identify your cable, add the Data matrix code, RFID tag or barcode by scanning it with your preferred scanning method. Then click next.
Step 7: Check to see if all details are correct. Optionally, you can assign the cable to a department or add a comment. When you're done click next.
Congratulations! You've now added this cable to EndoscopeManager. When you scan whichever code you added to this cable, so UDI, RFID or barcode, with GuideControl, the test results will be stored under this serial number.
