    Thomas Skalley, an orthopedic surgeon, confirmed that inaccurate surgical instrument trays from the sterile processing department (SPD) are an ongoing issue, especially in large surgery centers where the SPD serves many operating rooms. He was surprised that a technological solution had not been considered before, as the SPD typically has a limited budget and relies on cheap labor. However, a product that could alleviate problems caused by SPD inaccuracies may gain support from both operating room staff and the SPD, putting pressure on hospital administrators to purchase such a solution despite budget constraints.

    We were surprised Thomas hadnt really thought about technological solutions for this issue, since the

    problems would be to recommend further training to hospital administration.

    next interview) It seems like we would have both the OR staff and SPD on board, which could be
    enough to influence administration to purchase our product.
