Sterilisation pouch for packing robotic instruments As part of WIPAK’s Steriking range, a pouch designed for packing robotic instruments will be on show at IDSc’s annual conference and exhibition. The solution aims to provide significant savings to hospitals. It is claimed to be two to five times faster than traditional tray wrapping and two times faster than cutting and sealing from a roll. The Steriking Pouch for Robotic Instruments has been developed to save hospitals time and money. The pouch keeps instruments sterile during transportation and storage and allows long shelf-life. It is made with an extra strong paper for added protection, with high puncture resistance and resistance to microbial penetration. The pouch also incorporates Wipak’s Multi-X9 multilayer film, which consists of nine layers, each with their own features and functions. According to Jyri Mäkinen, global sales manager at Wipak: “Single instruments can be packed and stay sterile even if not used in an operation, which results in less reprocessing of these expensive devices, and less waste.”
disinfector details information on process chemicals and internal filters used during a specific reprocessing cycle, such as batch number and expiry date. The software also provides details on the endoscope, the user and the patient that last came into contact with the endoscope, ensuring complete traceability.

Fluid flow in the helical tube lifts the distal end from the wall, allowing fluid to contact it everywhere. Process Manager II and Process Manager II Plus registration and traceability software are designed to support the user in achieving compliance with applicable quality systems. Process Manager software also enables the analysis of the collected process data to provide the user with valuable insights into their reprocessing equipment. All process records are presented in clear and detailed reports, providing a complete overview of the steps that occur during a process. The process report for the washer
