Barloworld Scientific, manufacturer of the Sterilin brand, has used innovative nylon fibre technology to develop new range of collection devices that will maximise performance during patient sampling
Several of Bibby Sterilin's main line products are manufactured aseptically by an innovative, pioneering technique developed in-house.
An appropriate and validated method of manufacture, this involves heating and injecting virgin grade polystyrene into the mould at high temperature and pressure - exacting conditions which ensure a germ-free product.
With assembly and packaging then carried out in 10,000 standard clean-room conditions, extremely high sterility assurance levels are guaranteed.
Under the EU legislation (IVD-Directive 98/79/EU), all 'In-vitro-Diagnostic Medical Devices' used in vitro for the examination of specimens derived from the human body (including blood and tissue donations) must meet specific requirements.
Effective since June 2000, this will be mandatory from December 2003. Request a free brochure from Barloworld Scientific ...
