Closed Carts (MDRD)
$33,207 | New

Closed carts are used to transfer sterilized instruments from MDRD (medical device reprocessing
department) to the Operating Room. They ensure a sterile environment is maintained for the cleaned
items.

Currently, the team has to use open carts – covered with blankets – to transport sterilized items, which
is not best practice and does not meet regulatory standards. We need to invest in proper carts to ensure
sterilized items remain ready for surgery.

Ultrasonic Instrument Cleaner (MDRD)
$44,219 | Replacement

An ultrasonic instrument cleaner sterilizes surgical instruments using high-frequency sound waves to
create tiny bubbles in a cleaning solution. This ensures the latest intricately-designed surgical instruments
can be completely sterilized without damage.

The current instrument cleaner is at the end of its life, and must be replaced. Adding this new, ultrasonic
cleaner to the department will provide fast, effective sterilization for laparoscopic, ophthalmic, and
orthopedic instruments which are used every week at GBGH.
