Product Overview
The STERRAD NX™ System with ALLClear™ Technology delivers sterility assurance through an upgradeable platform to help maximize your clinical, financial and operational outcomes.
Healthcare institutions around the world have trusted STERRAD™ Systems for decades to sterilize medical instruments and materials, eliminating toxic residue. STERRAD NX™ System with ALLClear™ Technology is one of the latest releases from the STERRAD™ Systems platform and is the culmination of over 25 years of innovation in hydrogen peroxide gas plasma (HPGP) sterilization technology.
The ALLClear™ Technology within the system increases sterilization productivity by conditioning the load, checking for moisture, and running system diagnostics prior to sterilization cycles to maximize successful cycle runs. The system also has integrated quality systems to enhance compliance to guidelines and hospital policies and is ready to integrate with ASP ACCESS™ Technology and STERRAD VELOCITY™ Reader to automate your reprocessing experience, making your data audit-ready.
Gas plasma breaks down hydrogen peroxide, leaving only the elements of water and oxygen behind. The proposed mechanism of action of this device is the production of free radicals within a plasma field that are capable of interacting with essential cell components (e.g., enzymes, nucleic acids) and thereby disrupt the metabolism of microorganisms.1
STERRAD NX™ System with ALLClear™ Technology includes two sterilization cycles - STANDARD and ADVANCED – to sterilize a variety of medical devices, supported by device validations working in close collaboration with medical device manufacturers.
Featuring an upgradeable platform, STERRAD NX™ System with ALLClear™ Technology is designed to adapt to the upcoming demands of sterile processing as medical device designs and guidelines evolve over time.
