The Cost of Reactive Instrument Management
Most facilities manage instrument problems as they come up — a broken scissors here, a missing needle holder there. That approach is expensive, disruptive, and avoidable.

Sound Familiar?
- Case carts assembled with substitute instruments because the right ones are out for repair
- Emergency repair calls that cost twice the standard rate and still take days
- Budget overruns from unplanned instrument replacements
- SPD staff spending hours chasing down missing instruments instead of processing sets
- No visibility into where instruments are or when they'll be back
What a Program Changes
- Instruments are serviced on a predictable schedule — not when they fail
- Daily pickup and delivery keeps your repair pipeline moving automatically
- Loaner instruments eliminate downtime while yours are being serviced
- Repair costs become a known line item, not a surprise
- Your SPD team focuses on processing, not chasing vendors
Our Service Programs
Four complementary programs that can be combined into a comprehensive service package — or implemented individually based on your priorities.
Off-Site Repair Program
Daily pickup. Fast turnaround. No downtime.
Our off-site repair program gives your facility a reliable, worry-free pipeline for getting instruments back in service quickly. We schedule daily pickup and delivery routes so nothing sits on a shelf waiting for service. Every instrument is logged, repaired under our quality management system, and returned with full documentation.
What's Included
- Daily scheduled pickup and delivery service
- Fast turnaround with an emphasis on responsive, expedited service
- Loaner instruments available to prevent procedure delays
- Full repair documentation and audit trail
- 98% recovery rate on instruments deemed non-repairable by others
- All work performed under our ISO 13485:2016 certified QMS
Mobile Lab Program
Your repair shop comes to you — on your schedule.
Our fully equipped mobile lab brings expert technicians directly to your facility. Scheduled visits allow our team to work alongside your SPD staff, conducting tray-by-tray inspections, performing on-site repairs, and returning instruments to service the same day — without the instrument ever leaving your building.
What's Included
- Scheduled on-site visits — weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly
- Same-day turnaround on repairs completed in the mobile lab
- Tray-by-tray inspection and inventory documentation
- Direct collaboration with your SPD team
- Immediate identification of damage trends
- Reduces off-site repair volume and associated wait times
Preventive Maintenance Program
Stop reacting. Start preventing.
Emergency repairs are expensive and disruptive. Our preventive maintenance program keeps instruments in peak condition through scheduled service intervals, dramatically reducing the frequency and severity of failures. By catching problems early, we extend instrument life and help your facility plan budgets with predictability.
What's Included
- Customized maintenance schedules based on instrument usage
- Lubrication, alignment, and calibration at each service visit
- Early identification of wear before failure occurs
- Reduced emergency repair frequency and cost
- Extended instrument service life — often by years
- Maintenance records for regulatory compliance and audits
Equipment Standardization Program
Less SKU sprawl. Lower costs. Simpler operations.
Many facilities accumulate redundant instrument sets over years of purchasing — creating storage headaches, sterilization inefficiencies, and inflated maintenance costs. Our standardization program helps you evaluate your inventory, consolidate overlapping sets, and build a leaner, more manageable instrument ecosystem.
What's Included
- Comprehensive inventory audit and utilization analysis
- Identification of redundant, obsolete, or underused equipment
- Consolidation roadmap with projected cost savings
- Standardized par levels to eliminate overstock
- Coordination with surgical teams on preferred instrument sets
- Ongoing review to keep inventory aligned with facility needs
