Sterilization Industry Expects Major Growth Through 2020
As long as medical facilities exist, the need for
decontamination technologies, including
sterilization equipment, will remain an essential part of the
process. Decontamination and
infection controls help stop the spread of diseases to ensure
safe environments.
Market analysis tells us that the infection control market will
be worth around $16.7 billion by the year 2020. With advancements
in sterilization technologies becoming more frequent, high heat and
low temperature sterilization are continually gaining popularity in
more industries. This recent study, performed by a market research
company, states that the rise in common diseases as well as the
higher population of older citizens is causing more surgeries and,
consequently, more chances for the spread of infection.
A sterilization cycle is only as valid as the record that
supports it. If no record exists as evidence that the sterilization
cycle occurred and met the required conditions, the materials being
sterilized cannot be considered sterile. For this reason, data
loggers play an important role in ensuring the sterility of medical
tools, spices, gauze, or any other product requiring
decontamination.
MadgeTech's series of sterilization data loggers provide the
ideal solution for steam sterilization, ethylene oxide or dry heat
sterilization cycle monitoring. These rugged and reliable loggers
are designed for optimum
performance in the harsh environments required to achieve
sterility. Recorded data provides the information needed to
validate sterilization cycles by accurately monitoring the
temperature, humidity or pressure of the sterilization chamber or
environment as required.
The MadgeTech Solution is completed by also providing advanced
data logger software for managing devices and
analyzing the results. Electronic records for each cycle are
saved for future retrieval and reporting as needed. Statistics and
graphs can be automatically generated and saved to accompany
reports as desired. Built in reports, engineering units and
calculations make the MadgeTech Data Logger Software and essential
tool for strictly regulated fields such as the medical or
pharmaceutical industry.
As the sterilization industry continues to grow, these data
logger records will provide the necessary information to ensure
sterilization cycles are being correctly carried out and meeting
correct time and temperature requirements to ensure safety among
professionals as well as the general public.
