Scientific Digital Imaging’s Synoptics Health Division has launched its ‘next generation’ ProReveal with advanced process validation analytics software – for detecting and analysing the amount of residual proteins on surgical instruments post- decontamination.
The ‘new ProReveal’ is designed to determine the effectiveness of the decontamination process.
Combining a touchscreen ProReveal Viewer with new analytics software module and ProReveal fluorescence-based Protein Test Kit, the ProReveal Test reportedly ‘quickly detects microgram levels of residual protein on re-processed surgical instruments’. The new software ‘accurately analyses images and quantitative data generated by the ProReveal Viewer to determine where, and how much protein, remains on surgical instruments’. Process criteria such as washing machine, tray number and position, detergent, operator, and programme details, can all be monitored – for an overview of how effectively decontamination processes are performing over time
Synoptics says the new ProReveal is capable of being ‘a precise diagnostic tool’, allowing AE (D)s in hospitals to validate and standardise every stage of their disinfection processes, or decontamination equipment and detergent manufacturers to optimise their products for maximum protein removal.
