IDSc EXHIBITORS Ultrasound probe disinfection
Nanosonics, a provider of disinfection systems for ultrasound probes has recently launched trophon2, an updated version of its trophon EPR device, which has become the standard of care in NHS Trusts, including seven of the top 20 hospitals in England and Wales.
According to Nanosonics, trophon2 offers
smart protection, flexibility, functionality, traceability and integration that result in customised solutions for streamlined workflows and audit-ready reporting. A new software platform delivers the
AcuTrace feature for disinfection cycles digital traceability and documentation using the latest RFID technology which is embedded in ultrasound probe tags, operator cards, disinfectant bottles and chemical indicators. trophon2 can also store more than 100,000 disinfection records, providing accurate and complete records for improved compliance with required standards. With optional AcuTrace PLUS, trophon2 can also be linked directly to electronic patient records.
Sequential sterilisation wrap
Halyard has launched its Quick Check Interleaved Sequential sterilisation wrap, which consists of sequential sheets of sterilisation wrap alternating between blue and white.
The contrast in colour shows cuts, tears and holes and allows end users to identify breaches in sterility immediately. The wrap can be used with either colour on the outside so that customers can identify and colour code surgical instrument trays.
To complete its CSSD-portfolio, Halyard has also launched a single-us glove, designed specifically to meet the increased protection needs of CSSD-technicians. The Purple Nitrile Max glove has an extended cuff (up to 40cm total length), and covers all the way to the mid-forearm. Fully textured fingertips and palms are designed to assure wet and dry grip, while the increased weight of the glove assists when handling sharps and decontamination chemicals.
Cleaning performance with cost savings
Schülke, a specialist in infection prevention and control, has introduced the new thermosept X-tra, a detergent for the safe and gentle cleaning of instruments used in minimally invasive surgery. A recent study demonstrated that thermosept X-tra offers economic and environmental savings as 25% less product can be used compared to other enzymatic detergents, without any compromise on efficacy. At a 25% lower dosage, thermosept X-tra achieved a comparably good cleaning result in terms of protein removal and other cleaning indicators. It also demonstrated overall improved material compatibility for various test materials, including sensitive materials such as anodised aluminium and non-ferrous metal. Specially formulated for use with automated instrument reprocessing units, thermosept X-tra uses high performance enzymes in a detergent system, which includes surfactants. Even at low doses thermosept X-tra is said to remove organic contaminants such as blood, proteins,
