The patented ProReveal Protein Detection Test is a new ultra-sensitive fluorescence technique for checking and detecting residual proteins that can remain on surgical instruments after the decontamination process. Used with its powerful diagnostic tools, ProReveal also provides a perfect monitor device to check the performance of the washer disinfector process over time. This aids the detection of any changes in process parameters and helps to guide the user to optimise their process to achieve maximum performance from their facility. ProReveal offers a fast, effective and highly sensitive test for protein detection as an alternative to the ‘swabbing techniques’ used in many SSDs. The new HTM-01-01 guidelines on decontamination of reusable surgical instruments indicate that the sensitivity of fluorescence-based detection tests may be greater than that provided by existing tests. In trials at two major London Hospitals, the ProReveal Test has been shown to detect as little as 50ng of protein on reprocessed surgical instruments, making this the most sensitive detection method currently available for a decontamination environment.

With the ProReveal uses the Veritest tags designed specifically for this test to provide a scientific approach of evaluating the washer disinfector performance. More details of the methods will be provided in the relevant sections in this report.
