ConCensisCensis’ Final Check Uses Computer Vision to Eliminate Tray Errors Before They Reach the ORArtificial intelligence used to live in strategy decks and conference keynotes—but now it’s showing up in a very different place: right on the assembly tables where SPD technicians build trays for the next case. And it’s arriving at a time when the pressure on sterile processing has never been higher. As surgical volumes climb and staffing shortages continue to strain hospital teams, SPDs are being asked to move faster while making zero mistakes. Even a single missing instrument can mean tray rework, case delays, and tension between departments. That’s why AI-powered computer vision is gaining attentio...

ConCensisAI in Sterile Processing Is Proving Its Value by Acting as a Co-Pilot, Not a ReplacementSterile processing departments are dealing with persistent operational pressures. Surgical case volumes are rising, instruments are more complex, and staffing shortages remain across many health systems. Accuracy and documentation requirements continue to tighten, leaving little room for error. In busy hospitals, sterile processing teams may handle 10,000 to 30,000 surgical instruments per day, with performance tightly linked to patient risk given the persistent burden of surgical site infections in inpatient care. These conditions are shaping how hospitals evaluate AI in sterile processing as a practical way to support frontline teams without adding disruption or risk.As health systems reassess...

ConCensisSurvey Ready Every Day: Why It’s Not Just a Once-a-Year ActivityUnannounced surveys are no longer the exception in healthcare—they’re the norm. Accrediting bodies increasingly expect sterile processing departments (SPDs) to demonstrate consistent compliance, real-time documentation, and reliable adherence to manufacturers’ instructions for use on any given day, not just during audit season. Joint Commission survey data continue to show that high-level disinfection and sterilization practices are among the most frequently cited higher-risk infection control areas, often due to breakdowns in implementation, documentation, or adherence to manufacturers’ instructions for use. As standards tighten and scrutiny increases, survey readiness has evolved from a periodic project into an everyday operational discipli...

ConCensisThe Silent Foundation of Patient Safety: Why Water Quality Matters in Sterile ProcessingIn healthcare, patient safety and operational efficiency often depend on invisible systems working perfectly in the background. One of those systems—water quality—has quietly become a defining factor in sterile processing success. With new standards such as AAMI ST108 setting stricter expectations, hospitals and SPDs (Sterile Processing Departments) are rethinking how they monitor, manage, and measure their water. Considering that a single SPD will likely use thousands of gallons of water daily, the stakes for getting water quality right have never been higher.What does “good water quality” actually mean for sterile processing, and how can hospital...
2025-11-1049 minConCensisHow Censis’ AI-Powered Final Check Drives Compliance, Accuracy, and Confidence in Sterile ProcessingSterile processing teams are under constant pressure—handling growing surgical demands, working short-staffed, and navigating strict regulations—so getting every instrument tray assembled right the first time has never mattered more. Even a single assembly error can cascade into costly OR delays or, worse, compromise patient safety. Recent research highlights that most surgical instrument errors stem from failures in inspection and identification, and these mistakes frequently lead to operating room delays and wasted resources. In this climate, artificial intelligence tools are stepping in to help SPDs raise their quality benchmarks.How can AI-powered verification like Censis’ Final Check...
2025-09-2529 minConCensisElevating the Standards Together: What We Are Looking Forward to at CtUC 2025The sterile processing industry stands at a pivotal moment. With surgical case volumes rising while departmental resources remaining flat, the pressure to “do more with less” has never been greater. Nowadays, sterile processing departments (SPDs) are struggling with high staff turnover and growing compliance requirements. And while these regulations are designed to improve patient safety, the added workload—combined with frequent staff shortages—can overwhelm teams, slow efficiency, and increase the likelihood of errors that put patients at risk. Against this backdrop, the upcoming Censis Technologies User Conference (CtUC) 2025, themed “Elevating the Standard,” arrives as both a reflection of industry cha...

As hospitals look to reduce inefficiencies and protect patient safety, analytics tools are transforming sterile processing from an often overlooked backroom function into a vital, data-enhanced frontline of care. Research shows that missing instruments in surgical trays can cause significant delays and financial losses—costing hospitals hundreds of thousands annually—underscoring the critical role of real-time analytics in preventing these inefficiencies.So, how can frontline healthcare teams merge hard metrics with the soft skill...
