Sterile Zone Essentials
Every day, thousands of surgical instruments are used in hospitals, then cleaned and sterilized for re-use. At the end of the sterilization process, the instruments are considered sterile, or free of all microbial life.
However, once sterilization has been completed, sterility must be maintained to ensure safe reuse of instruments for patients. Thus, the storage environment, conditions and means of transport, as well as the quantity and methods of handling must comply with sterilization standards. It is therefore important to have a sterile storage area and a transport method that are also adapted to sterilization environments.
In response to the concerns of medical device reprocessing departments, Adaptaid has developed equipment that enables instruments to be stored away from sources of contamination in airtight enclosures.
The range includes a storage cabinet and a transport cart adapted to different sizes of sterilization containers. The purpose of this product combination is to ensure the safe storage and transit of sterile medical devices.
MEDICASE Hepa Ventilated Sterile Storage Cabinet
The MEDICASE cabinet features a 304-grade stainless steel structure and double-walled, gasketed doors. Thanks to models of different sizes that can be stacked side by side, sterile storage areas of any size can be quickly set up in multiple locations as required.
To simplify the entry and exit of materials, height-adjustable sliding shelves provide perfectly ergonomic access. In addition, to limit the risk of microbial growth or the introduction of pathogens into sterilized items, the cabinet air is maintained at positive pressure and filtered with a HEPA filter.
A traceability system can be integrated into MEDICASE cabinets to enable the collection of information on the contents, the cabinet and its users. The result is an intelligent storage infrastructure that efficiently compiles all relevant data from the history of sealed packages and sterilized containers, guaranteeing speed and simplicity in every search, and enabling all necessary details to be efficiently visualized. In addition, the traceability system enables data to be entered from barcode or RFID identification systems.
Closed Transport Cart
The transport cart has been specially designed for the safe movement of sterilization cabinets, endoscope trays, sealed packages and surgical instruments.
Its interior is easily configurable thanks to a choice of height-adjustable sliding shelves and side runners for probe or endoscope trays.
Its airtight doors minimize the risk of cross-contamination during transit of sterile instruments. Compatible with cart washers, its all-stainless-steel chassis ensures superior longevity even under heavy use.
By combining closed carts with sterile storage cabinets, Adaptaid offers a logistical solution of choice that optimizes infection control and prevention, while facilitating the storage and transport of surgical instruments.
