Medical instrument sterility is a critical component in the fight against hospital-associated infections, which impact one in every 31 hospital patients in the U.S.4 The practice of every load monitoring – using dual indicators (both BIs and CIs) to verify the efficacy of every sterilization cycle for each batch of instruments – is recommended by industry guidelines and expert consensus to help minimize patient safety risks.
This unique combination makes the Attest™ Super Rapid VH2O2 Clear Challenge Pack the first and only preassembled VH2O2 test pack that is U.S. FDA-cleared for routine monitoring across multiple sterilizer brands, models and cycle types*, offering:
- Convenience: preassembled, ready-to-use pack eliminates the step of assembling testing pouches with separate indicators, saving time and mitigating the risk of errors inherent to manual preparation, like incorrect indicator placement or omission of an indicator.
- Accuracy: engineered to more accurately simulate the environment within a wrapped set of surgical instruments during a VH2O2 cycle.5 This helps to provide a realistic challenge to the sterilizer’s ability to neutralize potentially harmful microorganisms, providing greater assurance that a “pass” result reflects effective sterilant penetration and conditions within the load.
- Simplification: integrated, all-in-one design helps streamline inventory management by reducing the need to order BIs, CIs and peel pouches individually.
