Steriliser Validation Services

By combining the latest test instrumentation/technology from EBRO and the assistance of a local CSSD technician, the validation cycles are run using standard cycles and packs. Up to 12 temperatures and 1 chamber pressure are all profiled and recorded simultaneously and transmitted wirelessly to a computer, which plots the responses and generates the report.

The validation of selected sterilisation process, for the common load configurations and patterns is initiated with data and test results, is automatically comprehensively analysed and interpreted. The sensors are all certified in terms of calibration to a traceable source.
