Innovative Health Inc., a provider of reprocessed single-use medical devices, has announced a partnership with NotiSphere to provide its hospital customers with effective communication about backorders, product recalls, original manufacturer design changes and other market events with the potential to impact the hospital’s supply of reprocessed devices.
The partnership is designed to reduce the impact of disruptions in device supply, ensuring continued and reliable patient access to life-saving cardiology procedures.
“Our customers don’t want to log into hundreds of platforms to see their supply situation,” said Rick Ferreira, CEO at Innovative Health. “The NotiSphere platform enables efficient dissemination of critical supply information from all their suppliers. At the same time, our hospital customers need to know market events that impact reprocessed product supplies, as they depend on the savings they provide.”
NotiSphere offers an innovative digital platform that directly connects medical device suppliers and healthcare organizations, enabling direct communication and management of medical device recalls and market events in real-time.
“Innovative Health and other circular suppliers in healthcare are uniquely vulnerable to recalls and other external events that restrict the company’s ability to collect and return reprocessed products to their partner hospitals,” said Guillermo Ramas, CEO at NotiSphere. “Innovative Health again shows its industry leadership in prioritizing implementation of an efficient solution to this process, and we are thrilled to partner with Innovative Health to address their unique supply disruption situation through efficient communication.”

Benefits of the Partnership
The partnership between Innovative Health and NotiSphere offers several benefits to both companies and their customers, including:- Improved communication and collaboration: The NotiSphere platform provides a centralized hub for communication and collaboration between Innovative Health and its hospital customers. This makes it easier for hospitals to stay informed about potential disruptions to their supply of reprocessed devices and to take necessary action to mitigate the impact.
- Reduced administrative burden: The NotiSphere platform automates many of the tasks associated with managing supply disruptions, such as identifying affected products, notifying customers, and coordinating recall and replacement efforts. This frees up hospitals to focus on patient care.
- Improved patient safety: By reducing the impact of supply disruptions, the partnership helps to ensure that hospitals have continued access to the reprocessed devices they need to perform life-saving cardiology procedures.
