Interactive demonstrations will highlight the importance of infection prevention and the full benefits of high level disinfection procedures

Ultrasound probe high level disinfection (HLD) technology specialist Nanosonics is showcasing its state-of-the-art trophon device at UKIO. Through interactive demonstrations, visitors can learn about the importance of infection prevention, the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance and how the trophon device can help tackle this.

Nanosonics will also be delivering bite-sized educational presentations, which can be CPD endorsed. By learning more about the threat that infection poses to patient outcomes, delegates can better understand the efficacy of the trophon solution.

The trophon device’s vibration technology combined with a nebulised mist mode of action delivers HLD to all probe surfaces, including crevices and imperfections caused by frequent clinical use. The technology uses a hydrogen peroxide mist, a naturally occurring chemistry that is then broken down into water and oxygen, so it is safer for patients, operators, probes and the environment, but deadly for organisms. Residue from the process is discarded naturally without the need for disposal of hazardous substances.

To ensure the efficacy of HLD, verification that the method is compatible with the probe is vitally important. Nanosonics’ compatibility programme is carried out collaboratively with market-leading probe manufacturers, and now more than 1,300 ultrasound probes across 26 manufacturers are approved as compatible for use.

As well as high efficacy rates, the full trophon solution includes additional traceability features and optimised, automated workflows, as well as service for checks and annual validation purposes.
