Our Solution

“We have no means of identifying and documenting missing instruments or tracking their movement. We're spending large amounts of money replacing them."	Censitrac uniquely identifies individual instruments and automatically tracks them as they move from one location to another.	No	Yes	40% reduction in instrument replacement costs
“We believe that we are assembling, sterilizing and maintaining many instruments in surgical sets that seldom if ever get used. We have no way of measuring which instruments actually get used in surgical procedures.”	Censitrac measures actual instrument usage by identifying which instruments were unused in procedures versus those that were actually used.	No	Yes	5%reduction in inventory maintained; excess instruments can be recycled.
“When we send trays of instruments out for maintenance, we have no way of knowing which instruments are being over-maintained and which are being under-maintained.”	Censitrac automatically measures the actual usage of individual instruments and flags them when service is due to ensure proper maintenance routines.	No	Yes	15% savings in instrument maintenance budget.
“Surgical sets are reaching the OR with incorrect instruments or instruments missing causing delays in the OR, risks to the outcomes of surgical procedures and dissatisfied surgeons.”	Censitrac automates the set assembly process to ensure 100% accurate tray assembly. No missing instruments. No incorrect instruments. No instruments in need of repair.	No	Yes	Reduces OR setup time by 2-10 minutes per procedure, resulting in significant cost savings and more efficient OR suites.
“It takes 6-9 months of close supervision before a new CS technician is fully productive and before we are comfortable that they can assemble the trays correctly; this is expensive.”	Censitrac automates the tray assembly process so that trays are assembled correctly from the start. Technicians learn the instruments and assembly process much faster.	No	Yes	Training time, productivity losses and supervisory costs are reduced by 50%-80%.
“We have trouble locating individual instruments in our inventory.”	Censitrac uniquely identifies each instrument with a mark and automatically tracks its movement in sets or in inventory. Locate any instrument immediately.	No	Yes	Optimization of inventory levels; 5% reduction in inventory maintained.
"In the event of a bio problem with a sterilizer load, we need to know exactly which instruments were in the load and their current location."	Censitrac automatically tracks each marked and uniquely identified instrument in sets or in inventory. It maintains historical sterilizer load details and tracks the current location of all instruments.	No	Yes	Instantly locate and identify all instruments associated with a specific sterilizer load.
"We often need to turn surgical instrument trays around quickly in CS; is there a way to speed the assembly process without sacrificing accuracy?"	Censitrac automates the assembly process by generating an automated pick list and scans the instruments to quickly and accurately identify the correct instruments in each set.	No	Yes	Reduce average tray assembly time and costs by 40%-50%
"In the event of a contamination issue, we need to know exactly what instruments were used in a procedure and their current location."	Censitrac automatically links each instrument on the case cart to the procedure and tracks the location of each instrument as it moves.	No	Yes	Immediately identify and locate potentially contaminated instruments and link them to specific cases.
