Automatic ultrasound probe high-level disinfection (HLD) system
Chronos
In the fast-paced corridors of a hospital, where every moment is critical, healthcare professionals work tirelessly to deliver the highest standard of care. Yet, a significant challenge often remains unseen: ensuring that every ultrasound probe is thoroughly disinfected without delay or compromise. For too long, traditional disinfection processes have been a bottleneck, time-consuming, prone to errors, and reliant on harsh chemicals that pose risks to both staff and the environment.
Chronos changes this dynamic. As a cutting-edge solution, it revolutionises the way ultrasound probes are disinfected, providing a faster, safer, and more reliable method to meet the needs of healthcare facilities. Chronos optimises workflow and maximises the number of patients seen, while guaranteeing quality of care.

Fast, reliable disinfection in just 90 seconds
The issue is evident. Traditional high-level disinfection (HLD) methods often demand considerable manual effort, extensive training, and, most critically, time; time that could otherwise be dedicated to patient care. Additionally, the use of chemicals introduces workplace hazards, environmental concerns, and the persistent risk of incomplete disinfection. For healthcare facilities aiming to deliver faster, safer, and more efficient care, these challenges are not merely inconvenient, they are unacceptable.
Chronos addresses these issues by leveraging the power of UV-C light technology to provide a disinfection solution that is both thorough and rapid. In just 90 seconds, it neutralizes harmful microorganisms, safeguarding patients from infection while ensuring healthcare professionals can rely on the safety and readiness of their instruments.

The advantages of the Chronos
1. 90-Second High-Level Disinfection
Chronos completes the high-level disinfection (HLD) cycle in just 90 seconds, providing an efficient and dependable solution for workflow optimisation. The process removes the need for warm-up time, chemical preparation, colour indicators, and manual record-keeping.
2. UV-C Technology
Chronos utilises germicidal UV-C light during the disinfection process, effectively disrupting the DNA, RNA, and proteins of microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, mycobacteria, and spores, rendering them inactive. The system features a reflective chamber that eliminates shadowed areas, ensuring that all surfaces are fully exposed to UV-C radiation. This advanced UV-C technology guarantees high-level disinfection, reducing the risk of infection transmission by efficiently eliminating harmful microorganisms.
3. Versatility in Application
Chronos offers versatile applications for both surface and endocavitary ultrasound probes, making it suitable for a wide range of medical disciplines. These include gynaecology, IVF, urology, radiology, ultrasound, emergency medicine, anaesthesiology, and biopsy procedures. Its adaptability ensures effective disinfection across various clinical environments, supporting optimal hygiene standards in diverse medical fields.
4. Automatic Check System
Chronos is equipped with an Automatic Check System that continuously monitors critical parameters such as UV-C dose, temperature, and time throughout each disinfection cycle. This feature minimises the risk of human error and ensures consistent disinfection quality.
5. QR Label Printer and Scanner
Chronos comes with a QR label printer and QR scanner, offering streamlined tracking and documentation. This integration eliminates the need for an additional stand, enhancing workflow efficiency. After each disinfection cycle, Chronos can print labels containing key disinfection details. These labels can be scanned to link the disinfection data to the corresponding ultrasound probe, ensuring easy access and traceability.
6. Traceability
Chronos features embedded software that enables access to, consultation of, and downloading of high-level disinfection (HLD) cycle recordings. This system ensures the traceability of each procedure and seamlessly integrates the disinfection report into the digital file without disrupting workflow. The process is notably fast and user-friendly, with automated traceability confirming the success of each disinfection cycle. This feature enhances patient safety by providing a reliable record of each disinfection cycle, ensuring that all procedures are properly documented and easily accessible for review.
7. Sustainable and Chemical-Free
Chronos provides a sustainable solution by eliminating the need for chemicals and consumables in the disinfection process. The use of UV-C technology ensures effective disinfection without the environmental impact associated with chemical substances. This approach also reduces the risk of allergic reactions that can occur from handling chemical disinfectants.
8. User-Friendly One-Button Operation
Chronos features a simple one-button interface, streamlining the disinfection process and reducing the need for extensive staff training. This intuitive design allows healthcare professionals to initiate the high-level disinfection (HLD) cycle with a single press, ensuring ease of use and consistency across various users. The straightforward operation minimizes the risk of user error and enhances workflow efficiency.
9. Energy-Efficient Operation
Chronos is designed to be highly energy-efficient, eliminating the need for additional resources such as extra probes, extra staff, chemicals, chemical indicators, or test strips. This significantly reduces operational costs compared to manual high-level disinfection (HLD) systems, which often require more time, additional equipment, and extra personnel. Chronos streamlines the disinfection process, offering a more cost-effective solution without compromising performance.
10. Easy Mobility with Lockable Wheels
Chronos is designed for effortless movement, featuring lockable wheels that provide stability when stationary and allow for easy manoeuvrability when needed. This enhances workflow efficiency and ensures the system can be positioned conveniently within any space.
