How the ProReveal Test Can Help Optimize the Decontamination Process, Ensuring Surgical Instruments Are Safe to Reuse

26 Nov 2018

With such a high prevalence of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (vCJD) in the US and UK, efficient removal of protein from surgical instruments is critical to preventing vCJD and other post-operative iatrogenic infections. This white paper presents a method that ensures surgical instruments are decontaminated and can be reused.

Fluorescence Protein Detection Test ProReveal is a highly sensitive fluorescence-based patented protein detection test for checking the presence of residual protein on surgical instruments after going through a washer disinfector process. This cost-effective test (conforms to BS EN ISO 15883-1) delivers objective, visual and measurable results, removing any doubt as to whether a decontaminated instrument is safe for reuse. Key features • Rapid result in under 5 minutes with a PASS or FAIL indicator • Provides a quantitative measurement over the whole of the instrument • A visual indication as to the location of any residual protein • Can detect less than 50ng of residual protein • Follows the new CPFF-01-01 guidelines for fluorescence-based protein detection methods • 3D view of the instrument shows where protein is present and how much • Patented viewer and reagent spray

RegulatoryPharmaceutical regulations impact on all areas of drug development, manufacture and control and supply. Services are provided from the early stages of drug development and clinical trials through to dossier submission, approval and marketing. Regulatory also includes submission of analytical studies from the pharmaceutical product and safety. Contamination PreventionContamination prevention aims to control and minimize the risk of contamination during experiments. Biological safety cabinets and sterilization equipment are examples of technologies used to prevent contamination.Sterilization
