Antigermix®

Reproducible automated cycle launched thanks to an intuitive user interface.

Antigermix® optimises workflow and maximises the number of patients seen, while guaranteeing quality of care. Medical devices are immediately available after the HLD cycle: no waiting time before the next examination and no rinsing. In addition, our chemical-free solution improves Quality of Work Life (QWL) and reduces the risk of human error, and enhances the safety of the HLD process by control of key parameters: dose, temperature, and time.

What HCPs say about our HLD solution

~3 minutes

High-Level Disinfection cycle

Applications for long endocavitary ultrasound probes, TEE/TOE & ENT endoscopes without operative channel in all departments where ultrasound are performed:

Cardiology
Urology
ENT

Antigermix® improves standard of care by killing bacteria, fungi, viruses, mycobacteria, and spores.

Fast

3 minutes High-Level Disinfection cycle enhances workflows¹

Effective

Proven to kill bacteria, spores, fungi, and viruses including HPV^2,3 that causes oropharyngeal cancer^4,5

Traceable

Embedded software that enables viewing and downloading of cycles data

Compatible

Close collaboration with leading medical device manufacturers

Sustainable

Chemical-free solution

Specially designed to ensure optimal UV-C radiation, the chamber provides effective exposure and avoids shadow areas.

This breakthrough technology both monitors the disinfection process and validates that disinfection is complete thanks to three photodiodes that capture optical radiation for:

Monitoring and verifying that the HLD cycle is running smoothly
Ensuring load release
Replacing the manual verification process (chemical indicators and test strips)

What are the environmental impacts of UV-C HLD?

UV-C HLD does not require the use of chemical disinfectants, which can be harmful to the environment, especially when disposed improperly. UV-C HLD technology uses minimal energy. It requires no single-use consumables, such as wipes or other disposables.

What are the occupational health and safety benefits of using UV-C HLD?

Unlike traditional chemical-based disinfection, UV-C HLD is chemical-free and does not produce harmful fumes or residues, making it safe for healthcare professionals and patients. It improves Quality of Work Life (QWL) as it eliminates risks associated with handling and storing chemicals, reducing the likelihood of accidents or exposure.
