Steris Announces FDA Marketing Clearance for Sterile Processing System

STERIS Corporation announced the release of STERIS System 2S, a point-of-use sterile processing system for non-acute care facilities. System 2S has been cleared for marketing by the FDA and is CE marked to the Medical Device Directive. This product is now available for sale in both the US and international markets.

System 2S uses steam-under-pressure as the sterilizing agent, produced by an integral flash generator (patent pending) that provides steam to the sterilizer on demand. Water entering the generator is Reverse Osmosis (R.O.) filtered thus producing a high level of steam quality. Steam quality is known to affect instrument appearance and longevity. System 2S is extremely versatile and provides reliable sterile processing virtually anywhere there is a source of water, a drain, and a 230 volt power source.
