Artificial Test Soil (ATS) From Research
Shake Well
According to
AAMI
, the
FDA
,
CDC
,
CEN
, Health Canada, CSA,
NHS Estates
, and other regulatory agencies, validation of medical device cleaning, disinfection and sterilization should be done with “test soils” that are modeled on the soils the medical device is likely to be contaminated with during actual clinical use.
ATS (Artificial Test Soil) is just a test soil
*Based on extensive scientific research
*Complies with regulatory requirements
