CS Medical announces FDA 510(k) clearance of the TD 100®
The TD 100 is an automated disinfector designed to reduce the manual manipulation, complexity and length of time required to properly disinfect transesophageal (TEE) ultrasound probes. Utilizing a microprocessor controller, the TD 100 provides a simple user interface that guides the technician through the few steps of the high-level disinfection that require user input. Once initiated, the disinfection process continues automatically and alerts the technician at the end of the 17-minute cycle. The TD 100 eliminates the need for manual reprocessing, thereby saving time and providing printed verification of probe disinfection.
″The TD 100 is the first automated TEE disinfector on the market, and represents a significant step forward in disinfection technology,″ said Greg Dobbyn, CEO of CS Medical. ″Endoscope technicians have enjoyed this type of automated disinfection for a while now, and we've brought this same convenience and time savings to anyone tasked with handling and cleaning TEE probes.″
The TD 100 is the first and only automated TEE disinfector available in North America, and has received 510(k) clearance from the FDA.
