The AI vision systemfor sterileprocessing.

Veris identifies every instrument by type and size, verifies every tray, and inspects instruments for residual bioburden, bringing AI-powered intelligence to every sterile processing workstation.

The bench · where every count begins
01The problem

Instrument errors surface after the case has started.

34.4%
Of surgeries have an instrument error

Missing, broken, and contaminated instruments reach the operating room, and the systems hospitals rely on can't see them. RFID and barcode systems track the tray but can't see the instruments inside it.

10.2 minAverage delay per impacted case
$1M+Estimated annual cost per OR
13–22%Of a tray is actually used
13%Of reprocessed instruments exceeded the cleanliness limit

02The frontier

From visual inspection to machine intelligence.

Veris transforms the SPD inspection point into an intelligent verification system, using AI and machine vision to identify instruments, validate tray assembly, and inspect for residual bioburden.

Method 01

Geometric risk analysis

Instrument contamination is a function of geometry. Box locks, serrations, cannulations, and hinges often retain bioburden because of their shape, so Veris directs inspection to the millimeters and topography that matter.

Method 02

Computer vision detection

The same system that evaluates an instrument's geography also inspects for biocontamination. Veris aims to deliver a cleanliness assessment beyond the ability of human detection.

03The lifecycle

One loop. Two blind spots. Veris closes both.

A surgical instrument moves through the same cycle every day. Veris verifies the tray before it leaves the bench and records what is used in the OR. Both are operational blind spots for health systems and surgery centers.

04What Veris does

Four jobs. One record.

01

Read the instrument

Computer vision identifies each instrument by type and size, at the SKU level, verifying a tray is complete and correct before it leaves the SPD bench.

02

See what the OR uses

A camera in the operating room records the instruments in use, so the tray a hospital builds can match what the case needs, directly linking sterile processing and the OR.

03

Inspect what the eye misses

Geometric risk analysis and bioburden assessments enable improved sanitation and cleanliness for surgical use.

04

Map built to used

One record across the instrument lifecycle lets a hospital understand tool usage, instrument economics, and ensure surgical operations from the SPD to the OR are optimized.

05How it deploys

Veris installs on existing capital.

Veris is an intelligence layer on the stack a hospital already runs, integrated through APIs with the SPD software, OR systems, and capital equipment in place today.

Hardware · 01

Camera

Mounted at the bench and in the OR. No workflow change for the team.

Hardware · 02

Edge box

Recognition runs locally at the edge, in 50ms, without video leaving the room.

Software · 03

APIs

One linked record, delivered into the systems a hospital already uses.
