Steris Design Gallery — compare legacy fleets with current layouts
Visual planning for home-care discharge rooms, dental sterilization suites, and remote monitoring fleets. Use the before/after frames and savings estimator to brief value-analysis committees.
Old fleet — 12 yr average
240 monitors & dental sterilizers · $48K / yr energy & service drag · ~220 t CO2 / yr planning load
Steris current-generation layout
240 endpoints · $39K / yr operating band · ~198 t CO2 / yr with refreshed power and cycle profiles

Gallery case cards
Three care environments redesigned with Steris planning boards
14-operatory dental group
Dirty-to-clean autoclave zoning and drying cabinet layout saved about $3,800 / yr and ~9 t CO2.
140-bed long-term care
Bedside BP / SpO2 cart redesign saved about $5,600 / yr and ~14 t CO2.
Design tension: single-use convenience vs reusable reprocessing burden
Single-use pathway
Disposable dental barriers, monitoring sensors, and many home-care consumables reduce cross-contamination risk and SPD labor. Buyers should still demand unique device identification (UDI), lot recall drills, and waste-stream accounting—sterility assurance level (SAL) 10−6 applies only where a validated terminal process is labeled.
Reusable / reprocessed pathway
Where sterilizers, cassettes, or durable lifts are reusable, reprocessing validation (steam autoclave cycles, ethylene oxide sterilization where labeled, drying completeness) and ISO 17664-style IFU steps become the acceptance criteria. Lower per-procedure cost and waste must be weighed against labor, Spaulding classification risk, and CAPA history.
Steris Design Gallery boards label which SKUs are single-use devices (SUD) versus reusable so infection-control and sustainability committees can review the same packet.
Run the audit on your installed base
Send floor plans or device census and Steris will return a Design Gallery board with layout options, IFU packs, HCPCS notes where applicable, and energy assumptions labeled as estimates.
