Missing instrument visibility
Discrepancies may be difficult to identify as instruments move between handling points.

Accountability & Inspection
Establish visibility after OR procedures, strengthen instrument accountability and add inspection capability before the CSSD cycle.

The gap between instrument return and CSSD entry.
After an OR procedure, instruments move through several handling points before CSSD reprocessing begins. Hospitals may face:
Explore the five common handover challenges
Manual checking burden
Teams rely on repeated checks before instruments enter reprocessing.
Unclear handover accountability
A clearer record can help teams establish what was returned and when.
Delayed issue detection
Issues may become apparent only further into the workflow.
Limited digital records
Photographic or digital evidence may be limited at handover.
Surgical Instrument Accountability Before the CSSD Cycle.
RS2D is a front-end accountability solution used after OR procedures, before instruments enter the CSSD workflow. It provides an accessible entry point with low cost of ownership and minimal integration requirements.
A digital checkpoint before the CSSD cycle.

- 02Instrument return
- 03RS2D capture
- 04Accountability record
- 05CSSD entry
Capture earlier
Capture a visual record of returned instruments before reprocessing.
Support handovers
Strengthen instrument accountability between teams.
Make discrepancies visible
Reduce reliance on manual memory and identify issues earlier.

Accountability & visual capture
Establish the instrument accountability layer before CSSD.
RS3D
Full inspection capability
All RS2D functions, with additional full instrument inspection capabilities.
Start with accountability through RS2D. Upgrade to deeper inspection capability with RS3D.
Planning your SmartRay deployment.
Where is RS2D used?
RS2D is designed for use after OR procedures, before instruments enter the CSSD cycle.
How do we choose an RS2D series?
Choose according to the depth of integration your workflow requires, from standalone Base to Standard or Full. Discuss your current handover process with Biologic to identify an appropriate option.
How does RS3D extend RS2D?
RS3D retains RS2D’s accountability and visual capture functions and adds full inspection capability.
Does RS2D replace CSSD reprocessing?
RS2D strengthens the accountability checkpoint before CSSD entry. Instruments continue into the CSSD reprocessing workflow.
