HYGIENA, a leading provider of microbial detection, monitoring and identification solutions, has introduced its new EndoSwab testing system, which provides real-time verification of the cleanliness of endoscopes and other reusable medical instruments.
Featuring an absorbent sponge tip attached to a 2.4 m long flexible wand, the system enables sample collection from even hard-toreach internal channels and components, ensuring that results can be trusted. Following sampling, the sponge tip is removed and assessed using one of Hygiena’s adenosine triphosphate (ATP) test devices. This quick process highlights whether the initial cleaning steps have been effective, so the instruments can then be disinfected, sterilised and reused.
