Existing decontamination solutions use harsh heat, high humidity and pressure to sterilize medical equipment, thereby reducing the useful working lifespan of expensive instruments.
Without the need for heat, moisture and pressure to clean sensitive medical instruments, Yofumo is able to clean to the same standard of an autoclave, while extending the life of expensive tools. Longer instrument life saves power, money and prevents waste.
Yofumo has begun testing our patented decontamination technology for medical instrument sterilization instead of using traditional autoclaves.
In multiple trials and in collaboration with our partners at Woodhouse Laboratories, Yofumo’s technology has successfully demonstrated the ability to remediate background contamination in test packets at an average efficacy rate of over 99.99%, needing a time frame of only 4 hours and 30 minutes to do so. The tested packs were inoculated with two pathogens, Bacillus Atrophaeus and Geobacillus Stearothermophilus, with loads of 2.1*10^6 CFUs and 2.1*10^6 CFUs respectively, totaling 2,310,000 CFUs.Yofumo’s patented gaseous ozone sterilization technology effective sterilizes medical instruments without the need for harsh chemicals, heat or humidity.
The lifespan of expensive instruments can be extended by removing the negative effects of autoclave decontamination and the subsequent deterioration of treated equipment.
