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.
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.
Future Focused System

- A system update is required to sterilize EXPRESS Cycle loads using two shelves. Refer to the EXPRESS Cycle System Ready screen to confirm the two-shelf loading configuration.
- Residual moisture management provided by ALLClear™ Technology does not eliminate the need to follow the device manufacturer’s IFU drying instructions.
- As a precaution, when handling any part of the system or load items that have been exposed to hydrogen peroxide, please wear the appropriate PPE (chemical-resistant latex, PVC/vinyl or nitrile gloves). Refer to the glove manufacturer's instructions for use for more information.
