KONOIKE MEDICAL CO., LTD
Offering Comprehensive Cleaning and Sterilization of Medical Equipment

KONOIKE MEDICAL CO., LTD is well-known for its ability to flexibly support the diverse needs of medical institutions and device manufacturers. Its services include cleaning and sterilization of medical devices, efficient management of in-hospital logistics through contracting operations, and providing valuable assistance in operating rooms.

These services are carried out at 15 locations in Japan and executed by highly skilled professionals trained in accordance with the company’s quality management system. They conduct swift and thorough functional checks on products, ensuring they are fully prepared for use in surgery.

“In Japan, it is a customary practice for medical device manufacturers to temporarily lend surgical instruments to hospitals for orthopedic surgeries,” says Hideki Takami, the representative director, of KONOIKE MEDICAL. “Our process involves expertly cleaning the instruments at the hospital, followed by a thorough cleaning and functional verification at our state-of-the-art facility. This service is essential to ensure the safety and seamless operation of medical procedures.”

KONOIKE MEDICAL conducts pre-operational inspections on each facility and promptly addresses malfunctioning equipment. The company maintains an adequate equipment inventory to minimize downtime during breakdowns. It establishes maintenance contracts with manufacturers and performs regular inspections.

The company’s warehouses enable manufacturers to expand to multiple locations and outsource cleaning and functional verification, and logistics operations. This leads to shorter logistics lead times, lower distribution costs, faster delivery speeds, and reduced risk in the event of disasters.

Manufacturers can confidently outsource equipment cleaning and functional verification, allowing them to focus on sales and marketing. The company’s expertise in quality and safety management systems and third-party logistics also supports the management activities of medical institutions and device manufacturers.

KONOIKE MEDICAL has a competitive advantage due to its successful track record of providing cleaning and functional verification services since 2002. It has cleaned and sterilized medical devices at over 150 advanced medical institutions in Japan.
