STERIS CORPORATION has launched the SYSTEM 1 Express Sterile Processing System, a rapid, point-of-use device processor designed to improve the workflow of busy operating theatres.
Using the powerful S40 Sterilant Concentrate, it has a processing time of approximately 18 minutes. Building on the success of the original SYSTEM 1, Steris has invested over 21 years of experience in liquid chemical sterilisation technology to ensure the SYSTEM 1 Express offers the broadest device and material compatibility, while maintaining the highest standards of patient care. Point-of-use processing allows more rapid turnaround of equipment, reducing the need for a large and expensive equipment inventory. The compact SYSTEM 1 Express offers extensive critical and semi-critical medical device reprocessing capabilities – including multi-channel flexible surgical endoscopes – and the neutral pH S40 Sterilant Concentrate helps to minimise potential corrosion of delicate equipment.
