Verified Identity
DMC, QR, OCR and shape analysis combine to identify each instrument—even identical-looking ones get a distinct identity.
Product
CLARITRACE™ VISION STATION
ClariTrace™ shifts the standard from tracking “where it is” to verifying “what it is, and whether it is correctly configured,” redefining and expanding surgical instrument management.
Ultimately, the new instrument management structure ClariTrace™ proposes is a three-stage chain. “Verified Identity” → “Set Configuration Verification” → “Traceability”
PROBLEM
The final check before surgery—the questions ClariTrace™ asks
Hospitals still rely on manual visual inspection to prepare and verify surgical instrument sets.
Q1
“Are you still checkingsurgical sets one instrument at a time?”
MissingA required instrument is absent
MismatchedA different instrument is included
DuplicateMore than the required quantity
UnregisteredAn unregistered instrument is included
Q2
“What exactlyis this instrument?”
Barcode and RFID tracking records where a set has moved. It cannot automatically verify the identity of each instrument inside the set.
Q3
“Is this setconfigured correctly?”
Is the exact set for this procedure ready? Tracking systems struggle to answer for configuration completeness. Tracking alone cannot verify surgical instruments.

SOLUTION
From tracking to verification—redefining the standard for instrument management
Verify each instrument's identity and the set configuration at once, and deliver instrument-level traceability as the result.
Set Configuration Verification
Compared against the registered set configuration to confirm nothing is missing, mixed in or duplicated.
Traceability
Digital tracking of every instrument across the hospital—CSSD, OR, wards and outpatient departments.
Technology
TECHNOLOGY
Same workflow as before, simpler verification
With ClariTrace™ Vision Station, instruments are captured all at once without per-instrument scanning or complex positioning, and the identity of each instrument and the set configuration are verified.
One-Motion CapturePlace instruments on the work surface and analyze them all in a single capture.
Open Optical LayoutAn open design instead of a closed chamber—no limits on the operator's view or movement.
No Dedicated FixturesVerification without positioning fixtures or alignment marks.
Spatial Verification UIResults are shown at their actual position on the work surface, not in a list.
Exception-Based ReviewNormal items pass quickly; only exceptions need a closer look.
CSSD-Ready DesignMedical-grade housing built for impact resistance and disinfectant exposure.
MULTIMODAL FUSION ARCHITECTURE
“One recognition methodis not enough.”
Instruments with varying marking quality are processed through four parallel analysis paths to produce a single Verified Identity.
DPM Recognition
Data Matrix · QR decoding
OCR
Engraved text · manufacturer marking
AI Vision
Appearance-based recognition
Structural Shape Analysis
Structure · geometry analysis
SET CONFIGURATION VERIFICATION
“Identify the instruments,verify the set.”
Not a simple count—configuration accuracy is verified, and problem instruments are highlighted at their actual position on the work surface.
Missing
Registered but not found in the actual set
Mismatched
Correct count, but a different instrument included
Duplicate
More than the required quantity
Unregistered
Instrument not registered to the set
Workflow
HOSPITAL WORKFLOW
Not a new process—verification, digitized
Keep the existing wash, sterilize, assemble and store flow, and connect Vision Station verification where it matters.

Why ClariTrace
Verified Identity
DMC, QR, OCR and shape analysis combine to identify each instrument.
Configuration Verification
Compares the set configuration with the actual work surface to detect missing, wrong or duplicate items.
Complete Traceability
Links instrument-level verification results and usage history as data.
HIS Integration
Standard APIs connect verification data with existing hospital systems.
From tracking to verification. ClariTrace™ confirms each instrument's identity together with the set configuration, and delivers data-driven traceability hospitals can use in daily operations.
01
Instrument-Level Identity
Identity is created and verified per instrument, not per set.
02
Single Image Verification
Up to 200 instruments verified at once from a single image capture.
03
Structural Shape Analysis
Tip, curvature, length, contour and geometry distinguish similar instruments even when markings are missing or damaged.
04
Expanded Object Recognition
The same identity framework extends to containers, micro-screws, surgical needles and implants.
05
HIS Integration
Standard APIs connect instrument-level identity and verification data with your existing HIS.

Frequently Asked Questions
Key capabilities and adoption flow of the ClariTrace™ Vision Station.
It verifies each instrument's identity together with the configuration of the whole set.
No. The existing wash, sterilize and assembly flow stays; Vision Station capture and AI verification are added as a step.
DPM, OCR, AI Vision and Structural Shape Analysis signals are combined to determine the final identity.
Yes—missing, duplicate, mismatched and unregistered instruments are detected by comparing against the set configuration.
