# Medical & Healthcare

Gentle, non-thermal decontamination for delicate surgical instruments, optics, and diagnostic electronics.

Chemical-free sterilization for endoscopes, surgical tools, and hospital electronics that cannot withstand the heat and steam of a hospital autoclave.

## Key features

- Safe for heat-sensitive endoscopic cameras, laparoscopes, and intraoperative fiber optics
- Proven virucidal and bactericidal efficacy against SARS-CoV-2, Mpox, and MRSA
- Operates at only 5–10 °C above ambient temperature (no risk of thermal deformation)
- Eliminates operator exposure to toxic sterilants such as ethylene oxide or hydrogen peroxide vapors

## Suitable for

- Hospital operating rooms and surgical preparation suites
- Outpatient endoscopy and ophthalmology clinics
- Dental and maxillofacial surgery practices
- Veterinary hospitals and animal surgical centers
- Mobile and field medical response units

Contemporary medical procedures increasingly rely on sophisticated, expensive diagnostic tools incorporating delicate electronic sensors, high-definition optical lenses, and fiber optics. Sterilizing these high-value instruments presents an ongoing challenge for sterile processing departments: steam autoclaves destroy delicate electronics, while liquid chemical immersions carry toxicity risks and shorten instrument lifespans.

Plasmatico delivers a safe, reliable, and future-ready sterilization solution engineered specifically for delicate clinical hardware.

## Protecting Delicate Diagnostic Instruments

Unlike conventional autoclaves that expose equipment to 134 °C saturated steam, Plasmatico performs decontamination at room temperature.

* **Endoscopes and Cameras:** Safely decontaminate rigid and flexible endoscopes, endoscopic video cameras, light guides, and surgical microscopes without degrading adhesive seals or clouding optical coatings.
* **Surgical Electronics:** Power handpieces, surgical drills, ultrasound probes, and diagnostic sensors can be treated rapidly without moisture condensation or electrical short-circuits.
* **Rapid Turnaround:** Short cycle times allow faster instrument turnover between procedures, reducing the number of costly backup instrument sets required by your facility.

## Validated Virucidal and Bactericidal Defense

In hospital settings, controlling healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) is a primary priority. Plasmatico has been rigorously tested against critical clinical pathogens, demonstrating:

* **100.00% reduction** against Methicillin-resistant *Staphylococcus aureus* (MRSA) and *Pseudomonas aeruginosa*.
* **100.00% inactivation** against enveloped and non-enveloped viral threats including SARS-CoV-2, Human Rhinovirus, Adenovirus, and Mpox.

## Compliance and Safety Ready

Plasmatico has completed **CE certification for laboratory environments**, with the comprehensive **Medical Device Regulation (MDR)** certification pathway actively underway. Its closed-chamber physical mechanism requires no ventilation exhaust, toxic gas scrubbers, or specialized water inputs, making it ideal for point-of-use deployment across clinical departments.
