Sterile processing & ST108
The ST108 workflow your hospital can actually operate.
AAMI ST108 created a concrete operational framework for water used in medical device processing. Caseore gives SPD, facilities, and infection prevention one shared workflow for the full compliance lifecycle.
Buyer path
Running a single ambulatory surgery center instead of a hospital SPD program?
Start with the ASC-specific ST108 pilot page if your immediate problem is getting one center survey-ready without hospital-scale tooling.
Capabilities
What Caseore manages for ST108 compliance
Your vendor may help manage water quality. You still need your own system of record for findings, actions, approvals, and closure.
Asset and water-system registry
Model washers, AERs, sterilizers, RO systems, and distribution loops with ST108 requirement linkage so you know which equipment depends on which water quality classification.
Scheduled checks and monitoring
Configure recurring checks for utility water, critical water, and steam with completion, deviation, and missed-check visibility per shift or schedule.
Deviation detection and case opening
When a check or sample fails, a compliance case opens with linked context: which system, which requirement, which threshold, and what equipment is affected.
Cross-functional coordination
SPD, facilities, infection prevention, and outside vendors work in one case thread instead of chasing service records across email or vendor portals.
Evidence capture
Service records, lab results, photos, validation documents, and approval signatures all attach to the case, not to separate binders or shared drives.
Remediation verification and closure
Verify corrective work with retest or re-inspection, then close with signoff and a complete audit-ready record of the deviation lifecycle.
Workflow
How an ST108 deviation becomes a closed case
Scheduled check or sample
Routine water-quality check for a washer-disinfector, AER, or critical-water point reaches its scheduled time.
Deviation detected
Result falls outside configured performance criteria and is linked to the affected equipment and water classification.
Case opened with context
Compliance case is created with linked assets, applicable ST108 requirements, and the specific threshold breached.
Team tasks assigned
SPD investigates process impact, facilities addresses the water system, infection prevention reviews risk, and vendors are pulled in as needed.
Evidence collected
Service reports, lab results, photos, internal notes, and vendor documentation are attached to the same case record.
Remediation verified
Follow-up testing or inspection confirms the issue is resolved and verification evidence is attached.
Closed with signoff
Authorized review closes the case with a complete evidence packet for survey, audit, or internal review.
Discovery
Questions we ask in every first conversation
Common questions
What we hear and how we respond
Start a pilot
One hospital. One department. 60-90 days.
Pilot includes asset and system registry, scheduled checks, deviations, document capture, and remediation workflow for one hospital or flagship SPD site.
What to expect
Discovery call
We learn about your program, current workflow, and the specific compliance pain you want to fix.
