Advanced Sterilization Products (ASP), a leader in infection prevention, has introduced the BIOTRACE™ Instant Read Steam System, now the fastest FDA-cleared biological indicator system in the U.S., offering sterility verification in just seven seconds. The innovation is aimed at empowering sterile processing departments (SPDs) in hospitals with real-time decision-making and significantly improved workflow efficiency.
Unlike traditional systems that may take 20 minutes or more for a readout, BIOTRACE enables near-instant confirmation of sterilization results, minimizing delays, reducing human error, and optimizing equipment turnaround time. The system’s advanced fluorescence detection and dual test slots allow efficient monitoring without compromising accuracy. It also stores up to 50 results and integrates with hospital instrument tracking systems via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth®, USB, and cloud platforms like the SM Cloud™ and BIOTRACE™ Assist App.
ASP’s launch responds to rising concerns in SPDs, including staff shortages and increasing caseloads. Usability studies showed strong interest from hospitals in time-saving tools like BIOTRACE. According to ASP leadership, the new system reflects their broader mission to enhance compliance, productivity, and patient safety through precision technologies in sterilization and infection control.
