Introduction to Steri-Ontario

Steri-Ontario is the only facility in Ontario dedicated to providing community healthcare providers with compliant sterilization of their reusable medical instruments. 

We are pleased to announce our recent move to a new facility located at 435 The Boardwalk, Medical Centre 2 in Waterloo. However, our service area reaches far beyond the Region of Waterloo. 

Steri-Ontario will work with your facility to reprocess and help set up transport of your instruments in the most compliant, cost-effective, and convenient way possible. We believe infection control policies and procedures should not be a burden to facilities. Compliance is just a call away.

Infection control in community healthcare is an ongoing concern. Public health inspections can result in practice interruptions or even closures. 

There have been numerous reports of medical facilities lacking proper infection control policies and procedures. Physicians have had to go back up to 15 years to track improperly sterilized instruments. This is not acceptable. 

Inadequate cleaning and sterilization of medical instruments, untraceable documentation, non-compliant or nonexistent infection control programs, and improper training are just a few of the concerns we have seen during our visits to local community healthcare facilities.

At Steri-Ontario, we provide community healthcare facilities with the opportunity to alleviate some of the difficulties of creating and maintaining a compliant infection control program. 

MDR is an essential part of your program. It is also the most inconvenient, expensive, and time-consuming portion of your infection control program. Unfortunately, MDR and sterilization are where we find most facilities come up short.

The quality of reusable instruments far outweighs that of disposable instruments. Using reusable instruments just makes sense.
