When you look outside, what do you see? You may start describing the
trees, buildings nearby or even the shapes of the clouds. When you look at the night sky, it is filled with bright stars and the moon. It's truly amazing that we can see objects from great distances.
On the other hand, it is equally amazing when what is right in front
of our eyes can't be seen. Germs and bacteria are right in front of us and invisible to the naked eye.
Have you ever cleaned a surgical instrument and witnessed a stain
that appeared quite benign, or not easily detected by the human eye? Stains can come in different shapes, sizes and intensity. In order to go beyond what you can see, you can test the cleanliness of instruments with the HemoCheck™ blood detection kit. Finding
a stain on an instrument that has gone through reprocessing is never good. If the stain is blood, the implications are even more serious.
The HemoCheck™ is an all-in-one test, provides a result in 30 seconds,
is simple to interpret and indicates blood residue down to 0.1μg. Significant traces of blood indicate an inadequately reprocessed instrument and is a rich source for cross contamination. Using cleaning verification products will help identify potentially
hidden dangers.
