Cost Benefit Analysis
Using SteriTite® Containers&
MediTray® Inserts
Copyright 2003, Revised 2013
Sterilization Trends
• Higher value instrumentation– More complex devices, including
endoscopes, power equipment and robotics
• Inventory control & materials planning• Reduction in labor• Reduction of costs in Central Processing• Rapid turns and volume
Industry Trends• Muslin Wrap to Disposable Wrap to
Sealed Containers• EO Gas to STERRAD Sterilization• Single Use Devices to Re-usable
Devices• Plastic Custom Trays to Aluminum
Trays and Sealed Containers• Temperature and moisture sensitive
devices, new sterilization modalities and packaging compatibility.
Benefits• Case Medical Universal Containers
– Using one case for all saves inventory costs – Can protect valuable instrumentation– Contributes to surgeon satisfaction– Compatible with all devices and sterilization
modalities
• Container organizer systems will reduce instrument loss and damage and be seen as a value by the customer.– Reusable components are cost effective.– Instrument protection reduces costs for repair and
replacement.

Customer Gains Value• In steam sterilization
– Instrument protection– Event related storage– Cost savings in labor and processing
• In EO/STERRAD® and V-Pro® Sterilization– Reduced instrument loss, damage– Reduced handling costs– Universal container that can go to third-party
processors and/or STERRAD® Processing– Ability to sterilize flexible endoscopes
Savings Over the Other Brand
• With 1/3 more interior volume, the number of containers needed is reduced.
• Lower profile container reduces weight and addresses ergonomic issues.
• Ability to stack inner trays within container keeps the set together for surgery and reduces inventory/shelf space.
• Ability to stack containers in the autoclave.– Saves energy and processing costs.
Savings Over the Other Brand
• Sealed immediate use (flash) container reduces infection rates from cross contamination and staff injuries due to burns.
• Durable construction increases useful life of product and avoids added expense of repair or replacement.
• Corrosion-resistant, anodized seal provides 10x more useful life and reduces surgical site infections from galvanic reaction.
• Unconditional warranty for manufacturer’s defects avoids service charges.
Savings Over the Other Brand• SteriTite for multiple methods of
sterilization avoids unnecessary inventory duplication.– Avoid multiple wrapped trays or different
containers for each process or set.
• SteriTite cleared for 35 lbs. total weight.– 22 lbs. of instruments and all types of
devices reduces stock.
• Dry loads avoid reprocessing costs.
Savings Over the Other Brand
• Utilizing a lower profile container addresses ergonomic issues and reduces total weight.
• Interchangeable components reduces stock.
• Off-set filter retention plate:– Reduces time needed to inspect filter
integrity in the OR.– Eliminates need for a secondary lid, which
adds cost and weight to container.
The SteriTite® Container System on a Per Cycle
Basis• Customer pays a similar price on a
per use basis as cost for wrap– Customer saves on wrap, tape,
absorbent liners, and other accessories. – Avoids damage and reprocessing costs.
• Lease or pay as you go option.• Expense avoids a capital purchase.• Utilize and reduce budget for wrap.
