"I fully agree with you about the significance and educational value of methodology as well as history and Philosophy of Science. So many people today—and even professional scientists—seem to me like somebody who has seen thousands of trees but has never seen a forest. A knowledge of the historic and philosophical background gives that kind of independence from prejudices of his generation from which most scientists are suffering. This independence created by philosophical insight—in my opinion—is the mark of distinction between a mere artisan or specialist and a real seeker after truth." Einstein. letter to Robert A. Thornton, 7 December 1944.
Witnessing the technological improvements in the medical equipment industry over the last 40 years, we're proud to introduce the first validated automated disinfection technology for reusable medical items,that's designed to be utilized by clinical staff point of use.
Einstein's was correct in concluding to his friend, to suggest a broader view to appreciate the true nature of invention. We need to temper our instinctive cognitive biases, then we can gain the ability to see the bigger picture.
Non-critical is critical when it is you, or a loved one, that is being diagnosed or having a procedure with reusable equipment. When the time comes, you should be focused on your quality of care, and not if the equipment has been properly serviced between uses. Complete disinfection is critical to lower infection risk.

Automated Medical Device Disinfectors are classified as FDA Class-II medical devices.
SONOCIDE is the latest production design. It boasts the following enhancements:
RESTEC has patented a novel device that utilizes an ultrasonic standing wave technology. A calibrated "ultrasonic standing-wave" energy field is generated. This makes efficient use of ultrasonic node/anti-node standing wave fields, and produces a; consistent, monitored, and optimum aerosol particle size.
The aerosol generator's precision particle size aid the method of action for optimal anti-microbial efficacy. Another key feature of this design, is the systems ability to monitor in real-time, the critical acoustic energy output parameters.
This standing wave acoustic energy monitoring is a RESTEC exclusive patented feature.
The function of the recovery module is to dry the treatment chamber and contents, then breakdown the aerosol chemistry forcing it into the vapor phase. Only the base organic components exist; oxygen, water, and carbon.
During recovery, high-speed fans circulate the air in the chamber. The liquid vapor condenses onto cold surfaces, and the remaining gasses are passed over heated surfaces.
Activated carbon filtration is used to reduce the gaseous vinegar odors. After cycle completion, the small amount of liquid water condensate quickly evaporates into the atmosphere.
The complete chemical breakdown and recovery is another great patented feature adding safety and convenience.
The 5-minute automated disinfection cycle achieves a total kill of all organisms tested. (above example: Staphylococcus aures - MRSA) Testing shows this device is effective against sterilization resistant spore forming organisms.
Hydrogen Peroxide with Peracetic Acid is an EPA registered food-grade disinfectant. RESTEC automated disinfection devices require the use of SONOCHEM® chemical products.
SONOCHEM® is specifically formulated for use with RESTEC ultrasonic aerosol management devices. SONOCHEM® is a registered trademark of RESTEC Solutions LLC.

SONOPRO is the first "automated disinfector" specifically designed for use in patient care areas outside of the central-sterile processing departments to offer a validated greater than Log-6 (99.999robial efficacy on nonporous surfaces.9%) anti-mic
SONOCHEM® is packaged in two-hundred and fifty (250) cycle sets. The shelf life for all SONOCHEM® products is one year.
Each two-hundred and fifty (250) cycle set contains one (1) round white bottle of SONOCHEM-A concentrate disinfectant, and ten (10) clear/square bottles of SONOCHEM-B buffered diluent. The ratio of concentrate to buffered diluent packaging is 1:10.
Once a SONOCHEM-A (round/white) bottle is loaded in the system, it remains until two-hundred (250) cycles are completed and maintains the labeled one-year shelf life.
Each bottle of SONOCHEM-B (square/clear) remains loaded until twenty (25) cycles have been completed. When SONOCHEM-B is loaded, mixture is monitored by the system and expires in 8-days.
The dilution prescription of SONOCHEM is efficacy performance in SONOPRO is validated using a G-Stearo biological indicator coupons (Mesa Labs, Bozeman MT) using the overkill method.
The minimum effective concentration (MEC) mixture is maintained in the system at all times. We provide an appropriate chemical to validate the concentration needed to ensure proper anti-microbial method of action.
The computer monitors the system progress to ensure the precision blending of SONOCHEM® chemistry, and delivery of high-powered ultrasonic aerosol, for consistent cycle-to-cycle liquid consumption and aerosol performance.

RESTEC is pleased to present the first automated disinfector device approved for clinical care areas to receive FDA clearance.
This patented Hydrogen-Peroxide with PAA aerosol system delivers the highest efficacy and shortest total cycle time of any FDA approved automated disinfector device.
It provides damage-free disinfection using a safe EPA registered "food-grade" chemistry. The entire 5-minute process is achieved at room temperature. No warm up time is needed. When the cycle is complete, your equipment is dry and ready for immediate use.
Use the latest fully automated disinfection technology, and protect your patients, staff, and equipment with confidence.
Reusable medical devices are known vectors for the spread of dangerous pathogens in hospital settings. Our automated disinfection system saves time and mitigates the risks associated with manual disinfection methods.

Designed for busy clinical treatment areas such as the ER, ICU, and L&D departments. Long-term care facilities and busy outpatient clinics could also benefit.
Our automated disinfection solution is intended for use in busy patient care areas, with high inventories of reusable equipment that require disinfection before reuse.
Simple, quiet operation with subtle lighting indicators will not disturb staff or patients during all shifts in clinical settings.
An NIST-traceable validation process ensures accurate reliable validation results.
Geobacillus stearothermophilus (12980) from Mesa Labs (Bozeman MT) is designed for hydrogen-peroxide sterilization units.
