MedDetect Rapid Heat Sterilizer
  • A dry-heat sterilizer utilizing rapid laminar airflow to transfer heat to instruments (375°F).

  • Pre-set established time-temperature cycles cleared by FDA under pre-market notification [510(k)].

  • FDA demonstrated 6 Log kill at 6 minutes for unwrapped instruments; 12 minutes for wrapped instruments.

  • Established biological testing parameters as per ANSI/AAMI ST50 “Dry Heat (Heated Air) Sterilizers” as required by FDA for 510(k).

  • Designed for in-surgery use (110 V electrical; measures 17” x 17” x 15”; no water requirement; cool to the touch; no hot air discharge; avoids instrument transportation).

  • Eliminates possibility of corrosion.

  • Rapid instrument turn-around (no warm-up cycle after initial beginning of the day start-up; no drying cycle required.

  • Established as a proven method of full sterilization for routine sterilization of instruments.
Flash Sterilizer
  • A wet-heat sterilizer utilizing wet steam to transfer heat to instruments (250-275°F).

  • Time-temperature cycles to be established by operator to determine effectiveness under situation variables.

  • Must be demonstrated by operator to meet 6 Log kill under time-temperature conditions used.

  • No biological testing parameters stated for“flash” cycle under ANSI/AAMI ST8 “Hospital Steam Sterilizers” as required for 510(k) use.

  • Typically designed for use outside the surgery area (usually SPD) requiring transportation of clean instruments through “dirty” areas.

  • Possibility of corrosion to fine and delicate instruments.

  • Requires sterilizer to come to pressure prior to the sterilizing cycle; has additional drying cycle.

  • To be used only as a “last-resort” method to sterilize instruments.
