How does trophon3 technology work?

Harness the power of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂)

The only automated high-level disinfection (HLD) solution for ultrasound probes that uses H₂O₂ mist

Patented nebulised H₂O₂ technology delivers effective and consistent HLD in real clinical settings1

  • ‘Sonically activated’ H₂O₂ mist generates many free radicals with oxidative properties to kill bacteria, fungi, viruses, mycobacteria and spores1

Effective HLD coverage for real-world ultrasound probes

  • trophon technology is designed to provide HLD coverage of complex ultrasound probe morphologies in real world clinical settings.
  • Internal sensors monitor temperature, H₂O₂ mist volume, and H₂O₂ flow rate, while sophisticated software controls all aspects of the process to deliver effective automated HLD with every cycle

H₂O₂ power that’s safe for the environment – but deadly for microbes

Fully enclosed system ensures safety for operators and patients

  • Operators are not exposed to chemicals, with gloves the only PPE required for use
  • No need for additional safety precautions (e.g., eyewash stations, ventilation cupboards) typically associated with some other reprocessing solutions
  • Low odour profile is suitable for continuous use in point of care settings

Environmentally friendly byproducts

  • At completion of each HLD cycle, residual H₂O₂ is blown out of the disinfection chamber and passes through destructors, where it is broken down into environmentally friendly oxygen and water1
  • Natural and rapid decomposition of H₂O₂ ensures no harmful residues persist on probes or in the environment

Nanosonics trophon technology provides effective high-level disinfection (HLD) against a broad range of clinically relevant organisms

Nanosonics trophon technology meets or exceeds industry standards and guidelines for ultrasound probe HLD to combat healthcare-associated infections and protect patients globally.

The trophon device meets mandatory microbial efficacy test requirements for both CE mark and FDA registration.

This includes testing that meets the required EN, ASTM and AOAC standards to demonstrate:1-3

  • Bactericidal efficacy
  • Virucidal efficacy (enveloped and non-enveloped viruses)
  • Fungicidal efficacy
  • Mycobactericidal efficacy
Infection Risk From Ultrasound 2

Microefficacy of trophon family has been validated in clinical settings

  • Eliminates an extended range of clinically relevant pathogens including multidrug resistant bacteria, blood borne viruses, and sexually transmitted pathogens1
  • There are no solutions on the market with broader efficacy than trophon

Accurate digital records made simple with AcuTrace® technology

To meet local accreditation requirements, traceability processes must be compliant with evidence-based standards and guidelines. The trophon®3 device uses AcuTrace radiofrequency identification (RFID) technology to electronically capture high-level disinfection (HLD) data across the reprocessing workflow in accordance with requirements in the USA, CAN, ANZ, UK, and EU .1-13

Automated digital traceability across the disinfection workflow:

  • Simplifies the creation of accurate digital records
  • Increases user compliance
  • Supports audit readiness

AcuTrace-enabled consumables and accessories include:

trophon NanoNebulant®

trophon Chemical Indicator

trophon Operator Card

trophon Medical Instrument Tag

Audit-ready compliance and archiving

AcuTrace technology captures HLD data, which is accessible on your trophon3 device to support audit readiness via different user traceability methods:

  • One-touch logging on your trophon3 device with DICOM worklist integration and optional Nanosonics Connect cloud logging
  • Printed labels capturing AcuTrace inputs and disinfection results
  • Downloads of disinfection records to USB
