A comprehensive servitization assessment was carried out for a medical device used to collect saliva samples from pediatric patients. Following prior work on circularity diagnosis, material selection, and redesign of critical areas, a complete operational model was defined, aimed at extending the product’s life through reconditioning and controlled reuse cycles.

The study analyzed the system from a technical, environmental, and economic perspective, quantifying performance in terms of CO₂ emissions, material consumption, waste generation, and economic cost, while also evaluating device return rates, reconditioning efficiency, and the optimal number of use cycles.

The result is a decision-making framework that makes it possible to validate when servitization delivers real value in healthcare environments, linking safety, scalability, and impact reduction with a more efficient use model.
