Hygiena Anounce New Instrument
17 July 2007
The launch of a new hygiene instrument by Hygiena International marks yet another milestone for this rapidly developing international supplier of hygiene test systems.
The new alphanumeric SystemSURE Plus will be available in over 80 countries. It incorporates a much larger memory than previous systems, allowing storage of more information for longer periods of time. Its 'fast statistics' button enables the user to review percentage pass caution and fail figures without the need to upload to a PC.
The new data analysis software, Sure Trend, allows simpler and faster reports, including trend analyses, to be carried out. The LCD screen displays each written sample location with a capacity to store 250 of them. It shows the sample plan from a choice of 20, and up to 50 named users can be stored.
The new instrument is built around state-of-the-art photodiode technology which is smaller and lighter than traditional photomultiplier systems, and is far more cost effective. Like all the instruments and swabs in Hygiena's ATP range, the new machine is very easy to use because of its simple menu-driven keypad. It is designed to be used with the Ultrasnap swab and Aquasnap water sampling device.
The technology enables the user to verify cleaning instantly, and can store date for diligent reporting and trend analysis. The new system has already been tried in many UK and US food producers who are well established Hygiena customers. In just three years over 8000 instruments have been installed around the world. Hygiena expects to increase this number even further.
A leading US supermarket group is also testing the new system, and has so far found that it is an extremely useful audit and surveillance tool. Hygiena's products range from the sophisticated ATP instruments to simple colour change hygiene tests. The company ensures that its customers are fully supported and advised, whether they are the larger businesses or the more modest small food producers seeking outside support.
SystemSURE has enabled several companies to demonstrate that high standards of hygiene have been implemented in support of third party accreditation schemes such as BRC Global and EFSIS.
The new SystemSURE Plus is designed to surpass customer expectations. "With little maintenance, simplicity of use, and consistent accurate results this is a major 'must have' for the food industry" says Jonathan Thomas, who has recently joined the company as sales and technical manager.
Even more surprising is that this excellent new product is so affordable, and is supplied complete with user manual, carry case, neck strap, RS–232 interface cable and two software options which include a simple download to Excel and the full bespoke data analysis package - Sure Trend.
