Endoscopes are reused due to their high cost, but detecting damage is challenging. Traditional inspection relies on visual assessment (qualitative), while LightControl offers a more precise, quantitative approach. However, OR personnel may overlook damage detection results when they urgently need an endoscope and can still “look through it.”​

Possible interventions include displaying measurement results as smiley icons on sterile packaging (e.g., lenses 60%, fibers 30%) and integrating LightControl with the hospital information system for better tray management. These measures aim to enhance endoscope monitoring, ensuring safer and more reliable use in surgeries.​
