Overview
ASP pioneered the use of gas plasma in low-temperature sterilizers in the 1990’s and has since established itself as a market leader in hydrogen peroxide based low-temperature sterilization.3 Validated for use on over 23,000 devices from over 100 different medical device manufacturers,4 ASP’s STERRAD™ Sterilization Systems are used globally for rapid and safe medical device sterilization, without leaving of toxic residues.5 The STERRAD™ 100NX with ALLClear™ Technology is ASP’s most advanced low-temperature gas plasma sterilizer, offering four different sterilization cycles and compatibility with a wide range medical devices, including flexible endocopes.2, 6, 7
The STERRAD™ 100NX features ALLClear™ Technology, which works to optimise package and instrument conditions for sterilization.2 ALLClear™ Technology may help to increase productivity by:
• Performing automatic pre-cycle system diagnostic checks2
• Quickly and accurately detecting and correcting load and system issues2
• Optimising sterilization conditions through instrument warming and moisture removal2
With unique ALLClear™ Technology, STERRAD™ Systems have the ability to minimise workflow interruptions before they occur.2 They are the only low-temperature sterilization platform with integrated quality control features, which aim to enhance compliance and reduce delays in instrument throughout.2
Incorporating upgradeable technology, STERRAD™ Systems are able to adapt and evolve over time, ensuring that they can meet reprocessing demands, and adhere to device guidelines,1 both now and in the future.2
Features
Trusted Sterility
