Marking surgical instruments

Dot peen marking technology enables quick and reliable identification of surgical instruments.
Combined with traceability software, Data matrix reading guarantees surgical instrument traceability during sterilization process.

• Marking system

This marking system is easy to use in hospitals for existing and new instruments.

Data Matrix codes can either be read by a handheld ID reader or by a fixed-mounted ID reader integrated into the equipment. This solution is suitable for all traceability softwares on the market.This process has been used for several years by hospitals in Canada and in Europe.

• Marking of a Data Matrix code :

A tungsten carbide pin stylus is used for datamatrix dot marking. This system provides a permanent mark on the instrument. Marking does not damage instrument quality in any way. The Datamatrix code registers enough information to ensure the unicity of the instrument.

• Custom marking machine:

- Versatile clamping equipment and camera control

- Code reading and database administration of instruments
- Specially designed for marking surgical instruments, this machine is easy
to use. An integrated camera assists the operator in the right place on the instrument and then verifies the code quality with an automatic reader after the marking operation.(patent pending)
