Sterilisation and maintaining perfect hygiene are daily challenges. For sterilisation of their instruments, implantology use an autoclave exposing the instruments to a strong water vapor.
To ensure the perfect working of the autoclave, HYGITECH offers 3 types of sterilisation tests.
The consumable necessary for sterilisation is also available: crepe paper tape and sterilisation indicator to distinguish sterile products of others.
Prion is a protein that is present in the Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Prion test guarantees sterility in an individual sterilisation parcel (pouch, sealed sleeve or crepe-paper packet) placed in a loaded autoclave.
The Helix test checks the ability of the autoclave to sterilise hollow objects such as suction or irrigation tubes. The tests should be carried out daily on a specific cycle, vacuum autoclave, so that the different sterilisation cycles of the day can then be carried out.
Bowie Dick test tests the autoclave's capacity to sterilise porous items such as gowns and drapes. It needs to be carried out every day on a specific cycle (in an empty autoclave)
The HYGITECH Incubator is used to incubate the biological indicator vials between 55 and 60°C, in order to ascertain whether the sterilisation by saturated vapour was effective.
The HYGITECH biological indicators are designed to control the efficiency of various processes of sterilisation by saturated vapour between 121 and 135°C. They are inoculated with viable bacterial spores of GeoBacillus Stearothemophilus and respond to performance specifications and quality indicated in ISO 11138.
