SP-Codex is about fixing a problem most people never see, but every hospital depends on!
Sterile Processing is the department responsible for cleaning, assembling, and preparing every surgical instrument used in the operating room. If they miss something, surgeries are delayed or canceled. If they do everything right, no one notices. It’s one of the most essential departments in a hospital, and also one of the most overlooked and undervalued.
Techs in Sterile Processing are expected to recognize and assemble thousands of surgical instruments by sight, often under time pressure, with worn tools, missing trays, and instrument names that vary by hospital or even by surgeon. Despite that responsibility, they’re given very little technology to help them.
SP-Codex is a hardware and software platform built specifically for them. The device itself is a compact, metal unit designed to live right in the department. It uses a modular vision head that combines an angled touchscreen, onboard computer, and multiple downward facing cameras that scan an instrument placed on the stage below. That vision head is fully replaceable, so the system can be serviced or upgraded without taking the whole device out of use.
