Interster Sterilization Products
The implementation of the Medical Device Directive in 1993 marked the coming of age of the CSSD's in European hospitals. Since then, CSSD's all over the world have given much thought into proving that the sterilization units they use actually perform the way they should. In the meantime, the medical devices that need sterilizing have changed drastically. As a result of the development of minimal invasive surgery, the CSSD has been confronted with a variety of instruments. This has raised the question if the traditional methods for testing the working process of the sterilization units are still applicable. All ISP® Sterilization Control Products are validated batch wise by an independent laboratory, which enables
Interster International B.V. to guarantee a maximum quality.
Interster's ISP® range of control products helps the CSSD to perform all tests necessary.
