STUDY RESULTS1 Bacterial ingress results summary
150 100 50 0
Rigid containers
Membranes in sterilisation packaging
Sterilisation occurs (Pre-Vac)
Aerosol chamber to emulate real-life
environmental changes
Bacterial Ingress
≥ 100 CFU 10-99 CFU 1-9 CFU 0 CFU
0% of the packages wrapped in HALYARD*
sterilisation wrap had bacteria
All HALYARD* sterilisation wraps — Sequential, ONE-STEP*
, QUICK CHECK*
Containers & wrapped trays wiped down
Membranes put into petri dishes & bacteria counted
— are POWERGUARD*
treated, hence provide the same bacterial barrier quality.
