Partnership With Nephros Inc

CS Medical is pleased to announce a unique partnership with Nephros Inc. based in River Edge, New Jersey. The Nephros FDA 510k cleared DSU-H ultrafilter provides ultrapure water as an aid in infection prevention and control. CS Medical will offer the Nephros DSU-H ultrafilter as an option to the TD 100^® Automated TEE Probe Disinfector to delivery ultrapure rinse water.

CS Medical’s President, Mark Leath stated, "Waterborne bacteria are an ever-growing challenge in healthcare facilities. The effects of these contaminates continue to cause an increasing rise in healthcare costs. Rinse water quality can affect a properly high-level disinfected medical device by introducing bacteria, viruses and endotoxins. CS Medical’s partnership with Nephros will provide a solution that provides ultrapure bacteriologically-filtered water during the rinse cycles of the TD 100 and help aid in the prevention of healthcare association infections. We are pleased to work with Nephros as CS Medical is committed to providing quality and reliable solutions for TEE ultrasound probe disinfection."

For years, CS Medical has provided the TD 100^® Automated TEE Probe Disinfector to healthcare facilities throughout the United States. Today, the TD 100 has completed over 2 million successful disinfections and continues to provide validated and repeatable high-level disinfection for "dirty" TEE probes.

CS Medical’s 2016 catalog addresses new focal areas for TEE probe care like electrical leakage testing, bedside cleaning, ultrasound probe drying, filtered rinse water and ultrasound probe storage. Our core product, the TD 100, is an example of our commitment to innovation and to the health and safety of medical patients and staff. CS Medical is pleased to be your partner to provide proven and effective solutions for TEE ultrasound probe care.

About CS Medical

CS Medical LLC has pioneered the automated disinfection process for Transesophageal ultrasound probes with the development and release of the TD 100^® Automated TEE Probe Disinfector. In 2005, the TD 100 was the first FDA cleared automated disinfection process with printed verification for Transesophageal ultrasound probes. During the disinfection process, the TEE probe receives high-level disinfection in (5) five minutes from TD-5^® or TD-8^® followed by (5) five complete rinse cycles before disinfection confirmation is acknowledged and a report is printed. The verification report indicates probe contact time with the high-level disinfectant as well as the average temperature of the single-use disinfectant during each cycle.

For more than 15 years and over 4 million high-level disinfections, the TD 100 Automated TEE Probe Disinfector has eliminated manual reprocessing of delicate and expensive TEE ultrasound probes while also providing a repeatable and FDA cleared disinfection process. The TEEClean^® Automated TEE Probe Cleaner Disinfector will continue the TD 100's work by automating the required cleaning process for the TEE probe before high-level disinfection. TEEClean, with electronic record data logging, printed verification reporting, FDA cleared cleaning, and high-level disinfection will be the standard of care for TEE ultrasound probes.

CS Medical's TEE Complete Care^® products provide quality device care and storage by minimizing healthcare operational costs, improving service readiness and increasing regulatory compliance.
