Synoptics Health ProReveal protein detection test with process validation analytics

Scientific Digital Imaging’s Synoptics Health has introduced its next-generation ProReveal with process validation analytics software for detecting and analysing the amount of residual proteins on surgical instruments post decontamination. The product is designed to determine the effectiveness of the decontamination process, which will help hospitals to improve the cleanliness of their surgical instruments.

The technology, which quickly detects microgram levels of residual protein on reprocessed surgical instruments, combines a touch screen ProReveal Viewer with the analytics software module and ProReveal fluorescence-based Protein Test Kit. The software accurately analyses images and quantitative data generated by the ProReveal Viewer to determine where and how much protein remains on surgical instruments. Process criteria such as washing machine, tray number and position, detergent, operator and program details can all be monitored to provide an overview of how effectively the decontamination processes are performing over time.

The addition of the powerful analytics software means the product is capable of being a precise diagnostic tool, allowing AEDs (Authorising Engineers Decontamination) in hospitals to validate and standardise every stage of their disinfection processes or manufacturers of decontamination equipment and detergents to optimise their products for maximum protein removal.
