TSO3 's Chief Science Officer to moderate Educational Panel at the IAHCSMM Annual Congress
QUEBEC CITY and MYRTLE BEACH, SC, April 26, 2018 /PRNewswire/ - TSO(3) Inc. (TSX: TOS), ("TSO(3)" or the "Company"), an innovator in sterilization technology for medical devices in healthcare settings, today announced that the Company's Chief Science Officer, Brad Catalone, will moderate an educational session during the 60(th) annual International Association of Healthcare Central Service Material Management (IAHCSMM) Congress, being held in Phoenix, Arizona April 29 to May 2, 2018.
The session, which will take place on Tuesday, May 1(st), will focus on reprocessing challenges for endoscopes used in endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography (ERCP) procedures. The panel of experts will include Albert Csapo, Vancouver General Hospital; Jenni Gibbs, Altru Health System; Brenda Lynch, University of Colorado Health and Carla Warner, GBK Peabody, PLLC. In addition, the Company will be in the exhibitor hall, booth 108, featuring the Company's flagship product, the STERIZONE(®) VP4 Sterilizer. Clinical and sales specialists, as well as existing customers, will be present at the conference discussing real-world data regarding the significant cost and throughput advantages of the most advanced low temperature sterilizer technology on the market.
About the STERIZONE(®) VP4 Sterilizer
The STERIZONE(®) VP4 Sterilizer is a low-temperature sterilization system that utilizes the dual-sterilants of vaporized hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) and ozone (O(3)) to achieve terminal sterilization of heat and moisture sensitive medical devices. Its single pre-programmed cycle can sterilize a large number and wide range of compatible devices, creating a cost-effective sterilization process with error free cycle selection. The device's unique Dynamic Sterilant Delivery System(TM) automatically adjusts the quantity of injected sterilant based on the load composition, weight and temperature. This capability removes the guesswork and potential for human error, as there is no need to sort instruments and choose the appropriate cycles as with other machines.
The STERIZONE(®) VP4 Sterilizer is the only terminal sterilization method that is Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared to sterilize multi-channeled flexible endoscopes (with a maximum of four channels) of up to 3.5 meters in length, such as video colonoscopes and gastroscopes - an industry first for any medical device sterilization process.
The STERIZONE(®) VP4 Sterilizer is also the only cleared low temperature sterilizer that can process a mixed load consisting of general instruments, single channel flexible endoscopes, and single or double channel rigid endoscopes in the same cycle with load weights of up to 75 lb. The ability to run mixed loads significantly reduces labor costs by minimizing the amount of instrument sorting required, while maximizing the device turns (more productivity from increased throughput capacity).
