STERRAD NX™ with ALLClear™ Technology Sterilization System

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.² Validated for use on over 23,000 devices from over 100 different medical device manufacturers,³ ASP’s STERRAD™ Sterilization Systems are used globally to rapidly and safely sterilize medical devices, without leaving toxic residues.⁴ The STERRAD NX™ with ALLClear™ Technology is a compact gas plasma sterilizer from the STERRAD™ Systems platform, offering two sterilization cycles compatible with over 23,000 different medical devices.³ Ideal for use in facilities with space constraints, it can be placed on a countertop or onto a cart to make it portable.¹

The STERRAD NX™ features ALLClear™ Technology, which works to optimise package and instrument conditions for sterilization.⁵ ALLClear™ Technology may help to increase productivity by:

• Performing automatic pre-cycle system diagnostic checks⁵
• Quickly and accurately detecting and correcting load and system issues⁵
• Optimising sterilization conditions through instrument warming and moisture removal⁵

With unique ALLClear™ Technology, STERRAD™ Systems have the ability to minimise workflow interruptions before they occur.⁵ They are the only low-temperature sterilization platform with integrated quality-control features, which aim to enhance compliance and reduce delays in instrument throughout.⁵

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,⁶ both now and in the future.⁵
