What is loaner kit processing?

Loaner kit processing is necessary for preparing surgical medical device kits for use. Processing includes multiple steps, including cleaning and inspecting.

Loaner kits are cleaned and inspected against current versions of product drawings provided by an original equipment manufacturer (OEM). Approved kits are then replenished, reboxed, relabeled, warehoused and distributed the next day, thus maximizing the number of surgeries for devices. Recycling of these instruments doesn’t just reduce investment in inventory and duplicative expenditures, but also enhances the efficiency of sales professionals and the sales process.

Who uses loaner kit processing?

For an OEM, loaner kit processing is an unavoidable and burdensome activity, which diverts critical resources away from core processes. By outsourcing the process to Life Science Outsourcing (LSO), manufacturers are guaranteed consistent quality and considerable cost savings on labor, processing, inventory, distribution and time.
