FAX ENQUIRY NUMBER: H1011 Highly sensitive protein detection
PESKETT SOLUTIONS is pleased to announce it will be the exclusive UK distributor for the new ProReveal Fluorescence Detection Test. ProReveal is a patented fluorescence based, highly sensitive protein detection test for checking the presence of residual protein on surgical instruments after washing. The test is both visual and quantitative and removes any doubt as to whether a cleaned instrument is fit for reprocessing. ProReveal offers a fast, effective and highly sensitive test for protein detection as an alternative to the ‘swabbing techniques’ used in many SSDs.
With the ProReveal test the whole
instrument is checked for protein – not just the ‘swabbed’ area. The sensitivity of the test and the method used removes any doubt from the checking process. The ProReveal test is simple and takes under five minutes to perform. Since the test is both visual and quantifiable, users will be confident that their decontamination processes are performing to the highest standards. Visit the Synoptics Health Stand for a demonstration of the test.

This new feature saves valuable time in the operating room as it avoids the need to add additional steps into the inspection process. This time saving enhances the existing advantages of the Kimguard One-Step range which delivers the protection of double wrapping in a single step so that users can save up to 49% of time wrapping and opening packages compared to a more conventional sequential wrapping process.
