Problems with conventional VHP sterilization
Time-wasting failed cycles
The #1 cause of aborted cycles is inadequate moisture detection and drying capability.
Inefficient use of sterilants
Injecting fixed amounts of sterilant is expensive, inefficient and environmentally unsound.
High operating costs
Costs include failed cycles, expensive consumables, surgical delays, high service costs
Damages expensive instruments
Millions are spent by hospitals on repair or replacement of new or advanced instruments.
No analytics, no control
Conventional tech can’t actively measure and adjust throughout the cycle.
