The technician never stops working. They just stop guessing.
A co-pilot, not an autopilot. IRIS sits beside the technician and gives them the right answer in the moment it's needed.
Technician points a phone or tablet at the instrument or level.
Computer vision recognizes every instrument by shape in seconds.
A 10–15s video walks through the exact sterilization steps.
Kit completeness and sterilization indicator confirmed, then sent to the OR.
Instant Visual Guidance
Scan with a phone or tablet. IRIS recognizes the tool by shape — no barcode — and plays the exact sterilization steps.
IRIS identifies each instrument by shape in real time — no barcode required.
On-demand debris detection guidance walks the technician through the exact sterilization steps.
Automated Kit Checks
Point at an assembled level. IRIS confirms every item is present and that the sterilization indicator is present — before the tray leaves the department.
Scans every level of the tray to confirm no missing instruments and the sterilization indicator is present before it heads to the OR.
Every instrument identified and checked against the kit list in seconds.
"For the first time, the technician has real-time instrument serial number and name, and guidance at the point of inspection — not a PDF, not tracking down a medical device rep. The answer is right there, in the moment it's needed."
— MONIQUE BACA, 20-YEAR SPD VETERAN
Sterile Processing is the hidden bottleneck behind OR delays.
Today, SPD technicians rely on memory, 50-page binders, and chasing reps. One missed instrument or failed indicator — and the patient is already on the table before anyone knows.
Eliminate preventable surgical site infections traced to instrument processing failures.
Prevent hospitals from losing millions in revenue due to OR cancellations and delays.
Stop surgeries from being canceled due to missing instruments, dirty instruments, and missing sterilization indicators that confirm trays are sterile.
Ensure every instrument is accounted for before the patient reaches the table.
Partnering with hospitals and device companies worldwide.
IRIS XR serves both sides of the sterilization workflow — the teams running it, and the companies whose instruments depend on it being done right.
Hospitals
Give your SPD team the answer the moment they need it — and protect your OR schedule and revenue.
Medical Device Companies
Put your latest sterilization protocol in every hospital's hands — and support more customers without more travel & lost rep time in surgery.
It sees the instrument itself.
Barcodes wear off. RFID needs a tag. Workflow software stops at a desk. IRIS XR recognizes the instrument by shape — the only approach that works on every level, in every hospital, the moment it's scanned.

Barcodes & RFID
Reactive, not preventive. They track the level, but they can't see inside it — and barcodes wear off or fall off entirely.
Workflow Software
Improves SPD workflow and accountability on a screen, but it never touches the instrument level itself.
IRIS XR
Recognizes the instrument itself by shape, in real time. No barcode. No tag. No hospital Wi-Fi required.
Validated and built alongside by real SPD, medical device reps, and surgeons.
Operators who've done it before.
A founding team with proven track records in XR, AI commercialization, and clinical environments — backed by advisors who live this work every day.
