Raising and exceeding expectations
Designed with the Next Generation technology, the STERRAD® 100NX® System is the most advanced hydrogen peroxide gas plasma sterilizer from ASP:
- Large rectangular chamber and several cycle options for the most productivity
- 47-minute Standard Cycle for most surgical instruments.
- 42-minute Flex Cycle for single-channel flexible endoscopes
- 24-minute Express Cycle for fast turnaround of da Vinci® 3-D endoscopes*, rigid telescopes, rechargeable batteries, and many other instruments.
- 60 minute DUO Cycle for processing flexible endoscopes and cameras together
- Advanced features for ease of use and quality control including large touch-screen display, innovative foot pedal to facilitate the loading process, hydrogen peroxide monitor to ensure that sufficient hydrogen peroxide is available to assist in achieving a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10-6, network connectivity for remote cycle monitoring and many others.
- Available as a pass-through sterilizer for the Central Sterilization Departments with a need for separation of clean and sterile areas.
Please refer to the STERRAD® 100NX® User's guide for more detailed processing information.
* da Vinci® 3-D endoscopes are validated for use in the STERRAD® 100NX® System EXPRESS cycle and are not validated for use in the STERRAD® 100NX® System STANDARD and FLEX cycles.

The Benefits of Next Generation Sterilization
The STERRAD® 100NX® System uses the Next Generation (NX) sterilization technology of hydrogen peroxide concentration that allows for the sterilization of narrower lumens with a shorter cycle time comparing to the original technology used in the STERRAD® 100S system. Moreover in the recent studies conducted and published on the inactivation of prions the Next Generation technology systems STERRAD® 100NX® and STERRAD® NX® have been proven to be more effective than steam at the 134°C/18-minute cycle*.
The STERRAD® 100NX® System utilizes a large rectangular chamber to process a wide number of instruments quickly, safely and efficiently and meet your growing reprocessing demands.
- Expanded lumen capacity claims allow for processing single-channel, stainless steel lumens with an inside diameter of >0.7 mm and a length of up to 500 mm plus single-channel polyethylene and Teflon® flexible endoscopes with an inside diameter of >1 mm and a length of up to 850 mm. Ability to process up to two single-channel flexible endoscopes in one cycle
- Features the latest information technology advances: RFID-tagged cassettes, a built-in USB port, and an optional Independent Monitoring System
- Permits convenient hands-free opening and closing of chamber door via ergonomic footpad
