TRANSFORMING SURGERY, SAVING CRITICAL TIME

The Zuno Smart Container is a non-porous, vacuum-sealed system designed to maintain a secure sterile-barrier.
Once sealed, there is no pathway between the exterior and interior of the container. Without porous barriers or filters, microorganisms cannot wick into the container – even if residual moisture is present due to abbreviated dry times, variable steam quality, environmental conditions, or heavy and dense instrument loads.

Deliver uncompromised sterile barriers to the OR each and every time.

Increase Surgical Capacity

Reduce Turnover. Add Cases. Drive Revenue

By eliminating existing expensive pain points, Zuno Smart Containers streamline the sterile processing journey —
decreasing turnover time & increasing the ability to support additional caseloads.

How it Works

During the autoclave sterilization cycle, the Zuno Smart Container creates a verifiable vacuum seal. The container continues to maintain and monitor the seal during transport and storage enabling objective verification that the container’s sterile barrier has not been compromised.

Reduce Turnover Time

The Zuno Smart Container preps in seconds and provides immediate sterile barrier verification. With no porous barrier, it supports abbreviated dry times and cools in the storage area – freeing up autoclaves and increasing cycles per day.

Smart Sterilization

NO BLUE WRAP OR POLYPROPYLENE DISPOSABLES

Prone to process failures, sterilization blue wrap accounts for 19% of all operating room waste1, and approximately 225 million pounds are disposed of annually in the United States2.

ELIMINATE SURPRISES

Sterile barrier can be verified anytime BEFORE it reaches the OR, allowing OR and SPD staff peace of mind and the ability to increase efficiency and reduce turnover time.

IMMEDIATE ROI

Offered as a monthly subscription with no capital expense. Competitive per-cycle pricing with maintenance included, eliminating surprises. Zuno delivers rapid ROI while improving efficiency and supporting faster turnover.

Indications for Use

The Zuno Smart Sterilization Container is a reusable sterilization container intended to be used to enclose another medical device that is to be sterilized by a healthcare provider with pre-vacuum, steam sterilization cycles, to maintain sterility after removal from the sterilizer until used, and to monitor and inform users of the status of the container’s sterile barrier integrity.

The Zuno Smart Sterilization Container has been validated to allow for the sterilization of its contents in pre-vacuum steam sterilizers with the following parameters: 132°C sterilization temperature, 4-minute sterilization, 5-minute or greater dry time.

Do not use with instruments containing lumens with an inner diameter smaller than 1.2mm and an overall length longer than 500mm. Do not exceed a total container weight of 25 lbs.
