Crosstex Introduces New Large Size of Its Advanced Sure-Check® Sterilization Pouches
Patent-pending CLASS 4 multi-variable indicator technology confirms all 3 criteria for sterilization
Hauppauge, New York - January 18, 2011 - Crosstex International, a subsidiary of Cantel Medical Corp (NYSE: CMN) and a leading global provider of infection control and preventive products, introduces a new 10” x 15” size of its advanced Sure-Check® Sterilization Pouches. With the addition, Sure-Check pouches are now available in 12 different sizes – from 2.25” x 4” to 12” x 18” – to meet a wide range of instrument sterilization needs in healthcare.
Sure-Check pouches feature patent-pending Class 4 multi-variable indicator technology that is far beyond that of traditional sterilization pouches, according to Crosstex Vice President of Sales and Marketing Andrew Whitehead.
“All of the latest infection control guidelines stipulate that, to ensure effective sterilization, items must be exposed to all three sterilization criteria: time, temperature and steam,” he said. “Yet traditional sterilization pouches provide an external and/or internal Class 1 process indicator that measures only temperature.”
The Class 4 internal/external multi-variable indicators on all Sure-Check pouches change color only when all
3 criteria for sterilization have been met: time, temperature and steam. This advanced technology meets CDC
Guidelines for Disinfection and Sterilization in Healthcare Facilities (2008), ISO 11140 and 11607 standards for pouch performance, and ANSI/AAMI ST79 Comprehensive Guide to Steam Sterilization and Assurance in Health Care Facilities.
When used in conjunction with weekly biological monitoring, Sure-Check pouches provide the highest level of
sterility assurance. Consistent product quality is assured through testing and certification of each production lot by an independent laboratory.
“Effective sterilization of instruments is obviously a critical element of infection control protocols,” Mr. Whitehead said. “With Sure-Check pouches, which are proudly made in the U.S.A., healthcare professionals can be sure about sterilization every time.”
