Scientific Digital Imaging's ProReveal to be used to train
professionals
at Eastwood Park
Cambridge, UK 24 July 2013: Scientific Digital Imaging (AIM:
SDI, "SDI" or the "Company"), the AIM quoted group focused on the
application of digital imaging technology to the needs of the
scientific community, is pleased to announce that the major
international healthcare training centre, Eastwood Park, UK will be
using ProReveal, a test to detect proteins on surgical instruments,
to supplement the training of validation professionals on how to
assess the efficacy of the decontamination processes.
The highly sensitive ProReveal, developed by SDI's Synoptics
Health Division, is an in-situ fluorescence test which can detect
nanogram levels of protein. It will be used on decontamination
courses (compliant with EU and UK guidelines), to train senior
personnel from UK and international decontamination validation and
sterile services departments (SSDs).
Bruce Garbutt, Training Consultant at Eastwood Park said:
"Protein decontamination is the ultimate in cleaning efficacy. If
your process has removed protein you know your surgical instruments
can be made safe to re-use. It is possible to infect patients with
prion diseases like vCJD if the cleaning processes are not optimal
and we have begun to realise how swab tests to detect prion levels
can be flawed, hence the imperative for an 'in situ' test such as
ProReveal."
Paul Ellwood, SDI Synoptics Health's CEO concluded: "Eastwood
Park is a very progressive training centre and their adoption of
the ProReveal test shows that they are preparing decontamination
professionals to comply with the new quality standards. Their
commitment to improving their decontamination processes will ensure
professionals will be able to quickly and easily implement the
ProReveal technology in their own facilities, to easily meet the
upcoming minimum safe residual protein contamination guideline
level being set by the Department of Health."
