SPS - Low Temperature Steriliser

Other low temperature sterilisers restrict the reprocessable scopes to a maximum of 500mm. The SPS H2O2 Steriliser can reprocess up to 16 scopes at a time with multiple open-ended lumens up to and over 1,500mm long.

The SPS H2O2 Steriliser has been designed to guarantee long-term reliability. State of the art components have been selected and these, combined with innovative engineering principles, result in lower maintenance costs.

The use of two vacuum pumps, one with a liquid ring for initial extraction, the other a dry pump for deep vacuum extraction, extends the lives of the pumps, and reduces maintenance needs considerably.

The more you process at a time, the less resources you use, and the less cost per item reprocessed. When used at full capacity, the cost of sterilant per item is far less than for other low temperature sterilisers.

The SPS 6464 model can sterilise mixed loads of 50kg, and possesses a chamber volume of 314 litres – double the size of other low temperature sterilisers, making it one of the larger capacity low temperature sterilisers available.

Independent microbiological testing carried out by 20/30 Labs, a UKAS accredited laboratory, has shown that the SPS 6464 model provided a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) 10-6 (6-log reduction).

Tested surrogates contaminated with G. stearothermophilus, B. pumilus, and E. faecium showed complete kill.

The only byproducts of the H2O2 sterilisation process are water and oxygen, meaning there is no risk of hazardous residues remaining on the sterilised devices or getting into the air. This helps enhance safety for both staff and patients, and makes the steriliser environmentally friendly.
