Scientific Digital Imaging’s Synoptics Health Division has announced that a major international healthcare training centre, Eastwood Park, will be using ProReveal, a test to detect proteins on surgical instruments. This will complement training given to sterile services professionals on how to assess the validity of decontamination processes.
The highly sensitive ProReveal in situ fluorescence test, which can detect nanogram levels of protein, will be used on decontamination courses (compliant with EU and UK guidelines) to train several hundred personnel a year from UK and international decontamination validation service providers and sterile services departments. On the courses, they will use this technology to optimise their appreciation of cleaning efficacy within decontamination processes by detecting where and how much protein is on instruments following cleaning.
