Questions and Answers

:  How does the STS™ save my hospital time and money?

:  The STS saves you time and money by:

• Eliminating the need to separate instruments from their graphic trays in decontamination prior to reprocessing the trays through the tunnel washer
•  
• Dramatically reducing the time it takes to reassemble surgical sets-there is no longer any need to build stringers
•  
• Instrument Graphics make it easier (and faster) to perform pre and post-operative instrument counts
•  
• Allowing you to process stringers in the open position immediately post-op; thus expediting the disinfection and cleaning process of hard-to-clean instruments

Questions and Answers

:  How much does the STS weigh?

:  The STS is custom designed and built to the surgeon's requirements/specifications. The total weight of the finished product is therefore highly variable.

Generally speaking, each STS is added to the weight of the sterilization container and kept under 25 lbs.

Questions and Answers

:  If we change container manufactures, will the STS fit inside our new hospital-owned sterilization container(s)?

:  Yes. The basic components of the STS were designed to fit inside commercially available sterilization containers.

We custom fit each STS to fit your containerized system.

Questions and Answers

:  Are the instruments protected inside the STS?

:  Yes. Instruments are supported and protected by high-quality plastic brackets.

Instruments are strategically located within the STS for easier identification and removal without damaging adjacent instruments, making dispensing safer and easier.

Questions and Answers

:  How long will the graphic images last?

:  Our high quality graphic images are developed directly onto the surface of the metal and then sealed for superior durability and long wear.

Questions and Answers

:  Can the STS be autoclaved at 290 degrees Fahrenheit repeatedly without damaging the set or its components?

:  Yes. Our modular tray system is made of anodized aluminum and the highest quality medical grade plastic material available.

This plastic will withstand the rigors and harsh environment of the SPD and the operating room.

Questions and Answers

:  Can I upgrade the QCASE STS?

:  Yes. The STS is comprised of standard component parts that can easily be replaced and/or upgraded depending on your specific instrument requirements.

Questions and Answers

:  How much does the STS cost?

:  The STS price varies due to the number of trays, graphic outlines, and instrument cutouts required to produce a set.

The best way to evaluate the total cost is to consider the STS's economic value/benefit to your institution. The STS is an investment in improved productivity long term.

Preliminary time studies indicate that the STS could improve productivity 20% allowing your institution to perform additional surgical procedures, adding potential revenues and profits to the bottom line.

Questions and Answers

:  Is QCASE an acronym and/or does it mean anything?

:  Yes! QCASE is an acronym that stands for:

  "Quality Custom Assembled Surgical Equipment."

The Surgical Tray System (STS™)

The QCASE STS (Surgical Tray System) is a high-quality modular tray system designed and engineered to give your facility's surgeons, nurses, and technicians years of service and performance. The STS takes the guesswork out of reprocessing surgical instruments in standard hospital containers.

We custom design and engineer each STS to your exact specifications. Our ultimate mission is to provide faster turnaround in SPD and operating rooms, and to dramatically improve system organization and inventory management.

The STS is made from Metalphoto® (photosensitive anodized aluminum)1 to ensure longer lasting high-quality graphics and superior performance. Instruments are strategically located (where permissible) in trays according to surgeon preference and held in place with precision brackets, adding protection and safety to each instrument. If needed, each STS can be easily modified and upgraded.

The STS provides these unique features and benefits:

• Faster turnaround in SPD and operating rooms for increased productivity and savings
• Integral stringer tray(s) for storing stringer instruments and holding them in the open position during reprocessing for proper disinfection and cleaning
• Precision brackets hold and protect instruments reducing both reprocessing time and cost
• Inclusion of barcodes and/or high-density matrix codes for easier tracking and inventory management
• High resolution graphics and text for easier identification

The unique features of the STS make it ideal for organizing surgical instruments in hospital-owned sterilization containers. With the STS, stringer instruments can be easily disinfected in the open position immediately postop and while being reprocessed through the tunnel washer.

As with all our products, the STS is designed and manufactured in the USA from quality American raw materials.
