How the 42-Point Certification Process Works

Throughout the certification process, STERIS Technicians follow rigorous quality control and multi-point equipment inspections for all aspects of the refurbished equipment, from electrical and mechanical operations to physical aesthetics to meet STERIS Certified Pre-Owned Equipment Refurbishing Program standards. CPO Equipment originally manufactured by STERIS is certified to meet OEM standards.

As STERIS CPO technicians refurbish a table, wearing parts or mechanical elements that break down over time or wear from general use are replaced. For example, when inspecting surgical tables, the bases and structural elements are completely resurfaced and meticulously repainted. STERIS CPO technicians determine replacement or refurbishment dependent upon the condition and function of mechanical, electrical and hydraulic components and surfaces.
