- Self test incubators to check the effectiveness of sterilization
Environmental cleaners
Merck's APC SmartTouch is used to monitor clean air in clean rooms (pharmaceutical manufacturing, laboratory operations, operating theaters)
The Merck MAS-100 NT aeroscope is used to control the bacterial cleanliness of the environment of epidemiologically important clinical and laboratory workplaces.
Sampling is performed directly on the culture media, evaluation is qualitative and quantitative, individual bacterial strains and fungi that have been captured in the environment are determined.
Both devices comply with European standards and are certified.
Aeroscope Agea A - AIR-010 is used for routine bacterial monitoring of the environment of selected workplaces and operations.

Hand hygiene
Hand hygiene protects us from the development or transmission of infectious diseases at home, on the road and in the hospital.
Hands are washed (and disinfected) according to recommended procedures.
We use hand disinfectant where it is not possible to wash hands with soap and water; in a medical facility, we prefer hand disinfection to washing - it is faster, more efficient and accessible.
Disinfection is applied to dry hands.
Part of hand hygiene is always the final treatment with a protective cream.
Learn to wash or disinfect your hands regularly while in hospital.
