Surgical Verification for Hospitals and Medical Device Logistics

May 22, 2025

In busy hospitals, even small errors in instrument handling can lead to major setbacks. Surgical tools are often misplaced, cleaned incorrectly, or returned in the wrong set configuration. When staff are unsure if instruments are sterile or complete, surgeries may be delayed or cancelled. In some cases, hospitals choose to discard and reorder entire surgical kits rather than risk patient safety—resulting in significant financial loss.

Tiliter’s Vision AI Agents provide a smarter way to track and verify surgical instruments. By analysing images in real time, Vision AI Agents identify individual tools and sets based on their shape, size, and visual features—without relying on barcodes or manual logging.

This enables hospitals to:

  • Verify completeness of kits before and after sterilisation to avoid missing instruments
  • Track instrument usage and ensure proper cleaning cycles are followed
  • Reduce reliance on manual checks and prevent human error under time pressure
  • Avoid unnecessary kit replacement, saving thousands in monthly procurement costs
  • Minimise surgical delays or cancellations caused by missing or incorrect tools
  • Create visual records of kit configurations for traceability and auditing

Tiliter’s Vision AI Agents are designed to work with existing hospital workflows. Whether used in central sterilisation, operating theatres, or logistics areas, they offer a scalable, non-invasive solution that improves compliance, reduces waste, and helps staff focus on patient care.
