Rigorous Testing: The combined functionality of the Biological Indicator and Process Challenge Device ensures thorough and reliable sterilization validation.
Ease of Use: The STERRAD VELOCITY Reader’s clear, user-friendly interface enables efficient interpretation of results.
Primary Use:
STERRAD VELOCITY Biological Indicator/Process Challenge Device and Reader
The STERRAD VELOCITY Biological Indicator/Process Challenge Device and Reader (from hereon, referred to as the 'STERRAD Velocity') is a cutting-edge device prominent within the 'Autoclaves' category, utilized in clinical, surgical, and laboratory settings.
Primary Medical Use
Monitor and Validate Sterilization
The primary medical use of the STERRAD Velocity is to monitor and validate the efficacy of the sterilization process. This is crucial in ensuring the safe reuse of medical and surgical instruments. The STERRAD Velocity gives users confident assurance that sterilization procedures have been executed effectively, contributing to robust infection control protocols.
Process Challenge Device (PCD)
The STERRAD Velocity acts as a Process Challenge Device (PCD), exposing a biological indicator to defined, stringent conditions replicating those within a sterilization cycle. Should these biological indicators - usually microorganisms known for their resistance to sterilizers - be eradicated, it can be assumed that other potential pathogens present on the instruments are also eliminated, indicating a successful sterilization cycle.
Quick Readout
Unique to the STERRAD Velocity is its rapid readout capacity. Unlike traditional biological indicators that may require hours or days to provide results, the STERRAD Velocity provides a clear, unambiguous result shortly after the completion of the sterilization cycle, minimizing wait times and enhancing productivity in medical settings.
Compatibility
The STERRAD Velocity is compatible with STERRAD sterilization systems, providing an integrated and streamlined method of achieving and confirming sterilization. The device reader interprets the results from the biological indicator and communicates a clear pass or fail result. This valuable feedback allows healthcare providers to ensure continuity in delivering safe patient care.
In summary, the STERRAD Velocity Biological Indicator/Process Challenge Device and Reader is a vital tool in the modern healthcare magnet, ensuring the effective sterilization of reusable medical instruments, prioritizing patient safety and optimizing medical practices.
How It Works:
About STERRAD VELOCITY Biological Indicator/Process Challenge Device and Reader
The STERRAD VELOCITY Biological Indicator/Process Challenge Device and Reader is one of the most advanced pieces of medical equipment in the realm of sterilization procedures. This sterilization system utilizes innovative vaporized hydrogen peroxide technology to ensure your tools are properly disinfected.
Working Mechanism
This system works by releasing low-temperature hydrogen peroxide vapor. This vapor penetrates complex device structures to eliminate microbes and deliver a high standard infection control, thereby mitigating any potential risks to patients. The automation of this process consistently delivers a high level of sterilization assurance.
The Process Challenge Device (PCD) of the unit, harboring a self-contained biological indicator, is specifically designed to mimic a challenging load and assists in verifying the sterilization. The biological indicator contains Geobacillus stearothermophilus, a highly resistant microbial spore used to test sterilization processes.
The integral component of this system, STERRAD VELOCITY Reader, provides quick verification of the sterilization process. This robust gadget interprets the biological indicator results, which are tagged with a unique barcode for traceability, within 30 minutes.
Standout Features
The STERRAD VELOCITY BI/PCD and Reader is distinctly recognized for its fast results, maintained sterility and high compatibility with a wide range of medical instruments. Additionally, the automated barcode reader increases work efficiency and ensures accurate record-keeping.
The technological advancements incorporated into this unit make it one of the most reliable autoclaves for medical use. It is designed to meet the highest safety standards and provides precise, reliable sterilization for a broad range of medical devices.
In summary, the STERRAD VELOCITY BI/PCD and Reader ensures high-level sterilization quality, meeting the complex needs of healthcare professionals worldwide.
