Product Overview
The STERRAD NX System with ALLClear Technology is a compact unit which sterilizes medical devices by diffusing hydrogen peroxide vapor into the chamber and then electromagnetically exciting the hydrogen peroxide molecules into a low-temperature plasma state. The system can be placed on a cart or countertop when constrained for space.
With over 22,000 STERRAD Systems installed globally, it is trusted by healthcare institutions around the world to terminally sterilize instruments.
ALLClear Technology
Benefit from the ALLClear Technology which increases sterilization productivity.
- Conditions the load.
- Moisture detection and correction.
- Runs system diagnostics prior to the sterilization cycles to maximize successful cycle runs.
Trusted Sterility
Sterility assurance from a leader in low-temperature sterilization.
- Pioneers in vaporized hydrogen peroxide and hydrogen peroxide gas plasma sterilization technology for over 30 years.
- Over 15 million cycles successfully completed worldwide each year, impacting millions of patients annually.
- Over 23,000 medical device manufacturer endorsements.
Safety Considerations
Designed to minimize healthcare worker chemical exposure.
- Touch free cassette disposal promotes your team's safety.1
- Hydrogen peroxide gas plasma sterilization technology helps enhance the safety of patients and sterile processing staff. Gas plasma is documented to actively break down hydrogen peroxide, reducing emissions exposure for sterile processing staff.2
Reduced Costs
Delivers ongoing economic value.
- Proven to preserve instrument integrity, reducing the frequency of costly repairs and replacements.3-4
- Consume approximately 70% less energy per year.5
- Use of STERRAD Systems can save an estimated 180,000 liters of water per year.5
