More cycles. More savings.
Still reprocessing noninvasive devices using ethylene oxide (EtO)? In
addition to being highly toxic, EtO is only FDA-cleared for half as many
cycles as highlevel disinfection (HLD) for semi- and noncritical noninvasive
devices such as compression garments and pulse oximeter probes.

What is high-level disinfection (HLD) pasteurization?
HLD pasteurization uses high-temperature water to clean medical devices
of bacteria, viruses and other microbes. This nontoxic process is a safe and
sustainable method for disinfection, and it allows the customer to reuse the
noninvasive device more times, which may save on treatment costs.
Benefits of HLD through Arjo Pure
™
• Cost effective — up to 2x as many cycles as EtO

• Sustainable — a high-temperature, water-based process with no harmful
air emissions
• Quality (service and product) — in addition to looking and feeling brand
new, each device is tested post-reprocessing to ensure functionality
