In an effort to help Dental practices improve their own Decontamination Cycle, new guidance has been released entitled HTM01-05.

Various HTM (Healthcare Technical Memorandum) documents have been in use throughout the NHS for many years, specifically for areas of Decontamination were HTM2010 (Sterilizers) and HTM2030 (Washer/Disinfectors).

These have been replaced by HTM01 which has brought several of these documents together and added new areas such as ‘Decontamination in Primary Care Dental Practices‘.

Isopharm Sentry Limited specialises in the provision of decontamination equipment and consumables that ensure compliance with European standards.

With over ten years of supply to NHS and Private Healthcare clients, we have built an established infection control product range that is backed by a reputation for technical knowledge and customer support.

HTM01-05 states that the User must perform a manual Automatic Control Test on your sterilizer every day.

The Evaluator EV1 provides continuous, accurate and reliable evaluation of a sterilizer process cycle.

Fitting an Evaluator EV1 cycle monitor to a sterilizer removes the daily requirement of an Automatic Control Test. The EV1 monitors each and every sterilization cycle initiated and provides a Pass/Fail result.
