Product Overview
The STERRAD™ 100NX System with ALLClear™ Technology sterilizes medical devices by diffusing hydrogen peroxide vapor into the chamber and then electromagnetically exciting the hydrogen peroxide molecules into a low-temperature plasma state.
With over 22,000 STERRAD™ Systems installed globally, it is trusted by healthcare institutions around the world to terminally sterilize critical and semi-critical medical devices including various classes of flexible endoscopes.
ASP elevates the standard of care by bringing the first safe and effective hydrogen peroxide gas plasma sterilization method indicated to reprocess duodenoscopes to the US market.

ASP innovates in partnership with device manufacturers to promote compliant reprocessing. ASP developed the ULTRA GI Cycle to sterilize duodenoscopes due to concerns and challenges with the current workflow and relatively high rates of contaminated endoscopes post-processing. ULTRA GI Cycle has integrated pre-load monitoring.
ASP is proud to bring this innovative solution to market with leading endoscope manufacturers to continue protecting patients during their most critical moments.
