How the ProReveal Test Can Help Optimize the Decontamination Process, Ensuring Surgical Instruments Are Safe to Reuse

26 Nov 2018

With such a high prevalence of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (vCJD) in the US and UK, efficient removal of protein from surgical instruments is critical to preventing vCJD and other post-operative iatrogenic infections. This white paper presents a method that ensures surgical instruments are decontaminated and can be reused.

ProReveal Test

Fluorescence Protein Detection Test ProReveal is a highly sensitive fluorescence-based patented protein detection test for checking the presence of residual protein on surgical instruments after going through a washer disinfector process. This cost-effective test (conforms to BS EN ISO 15883-1) delivers objective, visual and measurable results, removing any doubt as to whether a decontaminated instrument is safe for reuse. Key features • Rapid result in under 5 minutes with a PASS or FAIL indicator • Provides a quantitative measurement over the whole of the instrument • A visual indication as to the location of any residual protein • Can detect less than 50ng of residual protein • Follows the new CPFF-01-01 guidelines for fluorescence-based protein detection methods • 3D view of the instrument shows where protein is present and how much • Patented viewer and reagent spray
