SteriDate's Labeling Solutions for Sterile Processing

Load control labels play a crucial role in tracking and verifying sterilization cycles. These labels include essential details such as:
- Operator identification

SteriDate's autoclave labels are designed to adhere securely and remain readable even after exposure to steam, heat, and pressure. By using automated labeling, hospitals can improve efficiency while ensuring compliance with infection control standards.
2. Loaner Tray Labels – Preventing Mix-ups and Delays
With SteriDate, facilities can generate custom loaner tray labels that clearly display:
✔ Tray contents and manufacturer details
