Collections 

Devices are collected at the hospital utilizing Stryker’s advanced collection system. Containers are placed in convenient usage areas and are regularly shipped by Stryker staff to our reprocessing facility.

Sorting 

Once collection containers have arrived at our reprocessing facility, contents are sorted to isolate reprocessable devices from devices that cannot be reprocessed.

Reprocessing 

Devices are cleaned and disassembled by our highly trained staff. Parts are individually inspected and, depending on the device, may be replaced. Some devices go through more elaborate reprocessing procedures.

Inspection 

Once rebuilt, devices are inspected and function tested based on validated processes. Most devices are then sterilized, repackaged,  labeled and shipped back to the customer.

Purchasing 

Hospitals can monitor how many devices we have collected and are available to buy-back through our repaid return order generation process. Based on this, they order what they need from reprocessed inventories, before they order devices from the original manufacturer – this decreases purchasing costs.

Receiving 

Devices are shipped in original manufacturer case quantities to hospitals in clearly marked boxes and placed in the supply room next to original manufacturer devices. When pulling devices for cases, most of our customers pull reprocessed devices before selecting new ones so they can realize critical savings.
