Medical equipment tracking with Columna Flow Search & Find

You're buying equipment you already own.

Most hospitals achieve just ≈70-80% clinical availability on medical devices. The devices are there. Staff just can't find them. Columna Flow Search & Find gives your teams a real-time view of every tracked device, so you can move from 70-80% to over 95% clinical availability. You know exactly what you have, where it is, and whether it's enough.

Find the nearest available device from any mobile device, with live status and location.

Equipment is there. Visibility is not.

Medical devices migrate between wards, get held "just in case," and fall out of the maintenance cycle when they cannot be located. Wards hoard what they can find, leaving other departments short. Medico-technical teams spend their day walking corridors to collect devices due for service.

The cost is real: unnecessary rentals, inflated purchasing budgets, and clinicians who lose valuable time searching instead of caring for patients.
