Pasteurization: Ultimate High-Level Disinfection for Respiratory Therapy Devices
It’s surprising how few healthcare professionals realize that pasteurization is a validated high-level disinfection method especially suited to respiratory therapy, pulmonary and anesthesia devices. More importantly, they don’t know about the financial, patient and staff safety, and environmental benefits of this HLD method. Visit Respiratory Therapy Magazine’s Spring Issue, pages 33-36, for the full story.

WHITE PAPER: New drying process yields Clinically Dry robotic arms PLUS cost and time savings
The dryness of reusable medical devices is a particular concern in healthcare facilities because residual moisture can inhibit the sterilization process and provide a potential conduit for contamination. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of a novel lumen drying system and its directed air flow process for drying reusable robotic arm lumens. Read more.

High Level Disinfection (HLD) via Pasteurization – a possible solution to COVID-19 limited supplies
Pasteurization has been used to destroy potentially pathogenic organisms in the food and beverage industry for decades. However, a medical device can also be pasteurized by fully immersing it in heated water for a specific amount of time at a specific temperature to achieve viral deactivation and microbial destruction.

Drying Reusable Medical Device Lumens: Not as Easy as You
May Think
Reprocessing professionals have been informing us of problems with aborted loads in their low temperature sterilizers, which are occurring because of retained moisture in robotic arms and other lumened devices. In addition, if lumened devices are not thoroughly dried before they are steam sterilized, wet packs can result and cause additional problems...read more.
