What is it indicated for?

The SYSTEM 1 endo Liquid Chemical Sterilant Processing System is intended for liquid chemical sterilization of cleaned, immersible, and reusable semi-critical heat-sensitive medical devices and their accessories in healthcare facilities.

The SYSTEM 1 endo Processor automatically dilutes the S40 Sterilant Concentrate to its use dilution (> 1820 mg/L peracetic acid), liquid chemically sterilizes the load during a controlled 6-minute exposure at 45.5 to 60°C and rinses the load with 0.2 micron filtered water.

The SYSTEM 1 endo Processor uses only S40 Sterilant Concentrate to liquid chemically sterilize medical devices.

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
