Hygiene Monitoring System for Endoscopes
Part No.: KPRO2-E250
Manufacturer: Terragene
Country of Origin: Argentina
Packaging: Box contains 5 pieces
The Hygiene Monitoring System for Endoscopes is a specialized diagnostic kit designed for the ultra-sensitive detection of residual proteins on endoscopes and other complex cannulated surgical instruments. Utilizing a high-absorption sampling technique, the system provides a rapid visual assessment of cleaning efficacy in hard-to-reach internal channels, thereby supporting rigorous infection control protocols in healthcare, pharmaceutical, and food industries. While it offers high sensitivity for organic matter, it is specifically a cleaning indicator rather than a microbiological monitoring device and should not be used to confirm absolute sterility.
Features :
- High-Sensitivity Detection: The system is capable of detecting protein concentrations as low as 1 µg , providing a critical threshold for verifying the removal of biological contaminants.
- Specialized Sampling Swab: Includes the SW250 flexible swab, which features a 2.5m length and a 1.9 mm diameter absorption area, specifically engineered to traverse the narrow internal channels of endoscopes.
- Instant Colorimetric Interpretation: The presence of detectable protein triggers an immediate and visual color change within the reactive solution, allowing for real-time hygiene auditing.
- Quantitative Reference: Each kit includes a reference color card, enabling users to make a visual estimation of surface cleanliness by comparing the solution's hue against a standardized scale.
- Optimized Solution Volume: Each plastic tube contains 0.45 ml of reactive solution, ensuring a precise reagent-to-sample ratio for consistent results.
- Extended Shelf Life: The product remains stable for 24 months when stored under refrigeration (2-8 °C ) or 6 months when maintained at room temperature (up to 30 °C ) .
- Comprehensive Kit Components: A single package contains 5 reactive solution tubes, 5 SW250 swabs, 2 moisturizer tubes for swab preparation, 5 registration cards, and 1 reference color card.
- Strict Storage Requirements: To maintain chemical integrity, the system must be kept between 2-30 °C in a dark environment and must never be frozen.
