Surgical Instrument Tracking System

At SPD India, we are committed to enhancing patient safety and operational efficiency in CSSD through the implementation of advanced Surgical Instrument Tracking Systems. Our solution brings Lean Process and Six Sigma practices into sterile processing, enabling hospitals to achieve unmatched levels of precision, traceability, and accountability.

Why Surgical Instrument Tracking Matters

Most tracking systems stop at the tray level, which is like tracking an airplane without knowing its passengers. But surgical safety requires instrument-level tracking. With SPD India’s system, every single instrument is uniquely identified, tracked, and managed—ensuring complete visibility from sterilization to surgery.

Our Technology: Precision Laser Marking

We utilize high-speed laser engraving technology to permanently mark each surgical instrument with a UIC (Unique Identification Code)—with no stickers or barcodes.

These markings are:

Rust-proof

Bacteria-resistant

Permanent and legible

Custom-coded as per hospital inventory standards

Our system ensures hundreds of instruments can be marked daily without compromising the integrity of the instrument.

Advantages of Laser Engraving

Unmatched Speed:
Hundreds of instruments marked per day.
Superior Hygiene:
Laser marks do not harbor bacteria, unlike stickers or etched surfaces.
No Rust or Metal Fatigue:
Our engraving does not damage the protective layer or introduce free iron.
Traceability & Accuracy:
Each instrument is uniquely traceable throughout its lifecycle.
Improved Maintenance:
Identifying instruments due for repair becomes seamless.
Enhanced Safety:
Ensures the right instrument is always in the right tray—every time.

Post-Mark Treatment & Instrument Integrity

Laser engraving is followed by passivation, a process that restores the instrument’s protective layer and ensures corrosion resistance. Using ASTM A-967/A967M-13 compliant methods, we ensure every instrument remains safe, sterile, and compliant with international standards. In rare cases where passivation may be compromised, SPD India has the capability to re-passivate instruments instantly using approved natural agents.
