Professional reprocessing of medical devices is a challenge in the everyday routine of a hospital or practice. To provide the best possible support, we have developed the gigasept® powerSET3: easy-to-use, safe, well thought-out and comprehensively effective.
You're on the safe side
To exercise due care even when time is pressing, we offer the gigasept® powerSET3 for wipe-based reprocessing of probes and endoscopes without lumen. The gigasept® powerSET3 is a solution you can rely on.
Benefits for ...
… patients: a clean and disinfected medical device
… users: easy handling, seamless documentation, maximum process reliability, space-saving design
The powerful trio of cleaning, disinfection and rinsing:
gigasept® powerSET3 – for reprocessing of the following non-lumened medical devices*:
Transvaginal
ultrasound probes
(TVUS)
Transoesophageal
echocardiography probes
(TEE/TOE)
Transrectal
ultrasound probes
(TRUS)
Non-invasive
ultrasound
probes
Flexible endoscopes
without channels (e.g.
nasopharyngoscopes)
* Please follow the reprocessing recommendations provided by the medical device manufacturers. Not suitable for reprocessing of critical medical devices.
More power, less effort
Convince yourself of the efficiency and easy handling.
This video shows the correct application of gigasept® powerSET3.
Reprocessing is a matter of trust
The optimum formula is used for cleaning, disinfection and rinsing in gigasept® powerSET3. Furthermore, we use high-quality non-woven fabric (lint-free) for reliable cleaning and even wetting.
- Cleaning wipe: special surfactant formula for reliable cleaning of residues after removal of any protective covers
- Disinfection wipe: antimicrobial solution based on peracetic acid for high-level disinfection
- Rinsing wipe: deionised water for safe removal of possible disinfectant residues
Optimal support, maximum safety
Safety is paramount with gigasept® powerSET3. Therefore, we designed the gigasept® powerSET3 to provide users with the best possible support. With our solution, only the absolutely necessary steps need to be carried out. This saves time and prevents errors.
The wipes are fully prepared, ready-to-hand and arranged logically from left to right in the box. The two tubs are firmly attached to the box to prevent mix-ups. In addition, the surface of the box has an antimicrobial coating (Lock 3) to protect against cross-contamination.
Support documentation, reduce workload
Documentation is also simplified using gigasept® powerSET3. A documentation book is enclosed in each box of gigasept® powerSET3.
- Documentation book clearly assigned to the box via a common batch number
- Checkboxes support the documentation process
- Stickers replace handwritten notes
Validation tested under conditions close to actual practice
In collaboration with an accredited testing laboratory, we successfully conducted hygienic-microbiological assessments on different medical devices (transvaginal, transrectal and TEE probes). We have thus demonstrated that the entire process can be reliably reproduced and validated using the gigasept® powerSET3.*
- Use of different probes with hard-to-reach areas and large surfaces
- Practical conditions for reproducible results
- Validation of cleaning and disinfection
* Reprocessing must be validated according to the individual conditions on site.
Because every step counts
The gigasept® powerSET3 also helps to reduce waste. Compared to three-component systems with individually packed wipes, it generates considerably less plastic waste.
Comprehensive efficacy within short period
The antimicrobial efficacy of the gigasept® powerSET3 disinfection wipe has been proven by all required testing according to the current version of EN 14885 and thus corresponds to the state of the art.
