Predictika · sterile reprocessing system quotes, in the style of Getinge

A sterile reprocessing quote, checked against the washer, sterilizer, purchase program and term rules before it goes to the hospital

An AI sales agent prepares a quote for sterile reprocessing systems, with the order total it expects. Before the quote goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika's validator, which checks the washer-disinfector, steam sterilizer package, daily tray volume, options, purchase program, order size and service term against each other, compares the total the agent states with the one it computes, and returns a verdict with every reason in one pass. All prices and limits are Predictika estimates in US dollars, not Getinge list prices.

Scope: Quotes for sterile reprocessing systems: four washer-disinfector configurations, three steam sterilizer packages, three purchase programs, daily tray volume, a reverse osmosis water treatment unit, a preventive maintenance and validation plan, terms of 1 to 5 years and approval bands for order size, discount and value. Prices and limits are illustrative estimates, not Getinge data; Predictika is not affiliated with Getinge. See everything this validator covers

This validator checks any quote for these washers, sterilizer packages and purchase programs, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Washers and sterilizer packages — a compact, a standard, a high-capacity washer-disinfector and a continuous washer line, with a compact, a standard or a high-capacity steam sterilizer package, including the packages that cannot supply the steam the high-capacity washers need.
  • Daily tray volume — a daily instrument tray count checked against the washer rating and the sterilizer package rating, with a central sterile department workflow review above 1,000 trays.
  • Options and purchase programs — a reverse osmosis water treatment unit and a preventive maintenance and validation plan by washer, and list purchase, hospital system agreement and group purchasing programs with their system minimums and discounts.
  • Service term and order size — terms from 1 to 5 years, a finance review above 3 years, a facility project review above 4 systems, an approval band above 12 percent total discount, a limit at 20 percent and a deal desk review above USD 1,200,000.
  • The total the agent states — the stated net total is compared with the total the validator computes from the line items.

Any quote that touches these rules is in scope, not only the scenarios pictured here. Not checked: other Getinge products such as operating room, intensive care or cardiac assist lines, real list prices, facility engineering or infection-control decisions, and tax or multi-currency quoting.

Where a rules-based CPQ gets this wrong
Click to expand
    
Our assessment of what a typical rules-based CPQ (product rules, price rules and validation rules, as in Salesforce CPQ) does with the same cases. It is a judgment about effort and reliability, not a claim that nothing can be built.

    
What the validator caughtA rules-based CPQPredictika
An option that depends on the washerOnly with care
Which washer takes the reverse osmosis water treatment unit is a table of exceptions, and each new washer configuration adds more of them.		The options allowed for each washer are part of the model and checked against the washer in the same request.
A sterilizer package that cannot supply a washerOnly with workarounds
The standard steam sterilizer package cannot supply the high-capacity washer, and a cross-product exclusion like this is usually a hand-written rule that has to be remembered.		The exclusion is a constraint between the washer and the sterilizer package, checked on every call.
Limits that combineOnly with care
The term, the discount from the purchase program and the extra discount all feed one combined limit, and a quote can break several limits at once.		Every discount source counts toward one total; every limit that applies is returned together.
The total the agent statesOnly with workarounds
Comparing a stated figure with a computed one means a separate rule per quote layout, and price rules rarely run on stated figures.		The stated net total is a field in the request and is checked against the computed total.
Every problem returned in one answerOnly with workarounds
Rules tend to fire as the quote is saved, so a rep often fixes one error and meets the next.		All findings come back together, whatever order the choices arrived in.

  

  

    
What this validator catches: findings from its test cases
Click to expand
    
Every rule is checked on every call, in any order the choices arrive; one problem never hides another. Blocking findings stop the quote; approval findings need a person to sign off; everything else is computed.

    
1Each washer-disinfector has a maximum daily tray volume (120 trays for the 46-series compact, 300 for the 86-series, 600 for the 88-series high-capacity washer, 1,500 for the continuous washer line).
2Each steam sterilizer package has its own tray capacity (150 trays for the compact package, 500 for the standard package, 1,500 for the high-capacity package).
3The compact and standard steam sterilizer packages cannot supply the high-capacity washer lines.
4The reverse osmosis water treatment unit is not available on the 46-series compact washer-disinfector.
5The order must be between 1 and 10 systems, and each purchase program has a system minimum (2 for the hospital system agreement, 3 for the group purchasing agreement).
6The service term must be between 1 and 5 years; a term over 3 years needs finance to approve the price lock.
7A daily tray volume over 1,000 needs a central sterile department workflow review.
8More than 4 systems need a facility project review.
9A total discount over 12 percent needs the sales director; over 20 percent is blocked.
10An order value over USD 1,200,000 needs a deal desk review.
11The preventive maintenance and validation plan is priced per year on top of the systems.
12The net total stated in the quote must match the total computed from the line items.

  

  

    
Scenarios and results

The recorded result of the validator for each scenario on this page: the request the AI agent sent, the verdict, and every finding, in the order they appear above.

    
1. A compact washer with a water treatment unit and too many trays: A compact washer with 200 trays a day and a water treatment unit

  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent prepares a quote for sterile reprocessing systems, with the order total it expects. Before the quote goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika's validator, which checks the washer-disinfector, steam sterilizer package, daily tray volume, options, purchase program, order size and service term against each other, compares the total the agent states with the one it computes, and returns a verdict with every reason in one pass. All prices and limits are Predictika estimates in US dollars, not Getinge list prices.
    2. 
      
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
    3. 
      
  3. The agent says. Please check this quote for the Cedar Hollow Health System: two 86-series washer-disinfectors. The total for the order is USD 284,481.60. The rest of the request is on screen.
    4. 
      
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
    5. 
      
  5. Blocked, with two findings, all in one answer. A service term of 6 years is outside the 1 to 5 years allowed. A total discount of 22 percent exceeds the 20 percent limit.
    6. 
      
  6. The validator returned two blocking findings in one answer. A check that reads one field at a time would pass most of this; it shows only when the choices in the quote are checked against each other.
    7. 
      
  7. What this shows: for an option that depends on the washer, a rules-based CPQ is error-prone for this.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the service term to 3 years, the extra discount to 4 percent and the net total stated by the agent to $312,716.80.
    10. 
      
  10. It calls the validator again.
    11. 
      
  11. This time the validator clears it.
    12. 
      
  12. The validator also returns the line-item quote, on screen.
    13. 
      
  13. Both earlier findings are cleared, and the validator's total, USD 312,716.80, matches the quote.
    14. 
      
  14. Two problems caught in one call, fixed in one pass, and a clean $312,716.80 quote. That is the value of Predictika's validator: catching mistakes before they reach the customer. Now you can try the other scenarios yourself.
