Worlds Best Sellingatp System Gets Even Better
07 January 2008
What is claimed to be the best selling ATP surface hygiene monitoring system, currently marketed throughout 80 countries, has now been re-launched with a higher specification making it even better value when compared to other manufacturers' products. The new SystemSURE Plus from Hygiena International Ltd is suitable for small to large companies, and has been successfully trialed in many UK and US food companies including a major supermarket group where it has been found to be a useful audit and surveillance tool in ensuring the effectiveness of their cleaning and sanitising operations.
With Hygiena enjoying a worldwide sales growth of 40% year on year for the past four years, SystemSURE (combined with their Ultrasnap sampling swabs) has become the premier system of choice for hygiene monitoring within a wide range of food preparation and processing establishments. The ATP energy molecule is found in all animal, plant, bacterial, yeast and mould cells, and therefore it is present in all food residue and microbial contamination that can be quickly identified.
In addition, the equipment has also become readily accepted in other markets such as water treatment, cosmetics and pharmaceutical production, together with general clinical and healthcare applications including hospital hygiene where the fight against HAI's is being given the highest priority.
The SystemSURE Plus is a compact hand-held instrument incorporating the latest photodiode technology. This gives equivalent performance to other systems using photomultiplier tubes, and is also smaller and lighter leading to a more economic unit price. So much so that the Hygiena instrument can show a cost saving of up to 80% when compared to competitors' products. This value is even further enhanced with the high level of service and end user support that is provided by the manufacturer. The establishment of an international distributor network has helped maintain a dramatic increase in customers, attracted by initial price, simplicity in use and the proven effectiveness of the hardware which has been designed to exceed customer expectations.
The more powerful technology and larger memory built into the new SystemSURE instrument enables company workforce and official inspectors alike to test surfaces and verify a 'state of cleanliness' instantly, with data stored as evidence of due diligence and trend analysis. With simple keypad operation, the LCD screen can display full details of a sampling location and now store information on up to 250 such sites. A choice of 20 sampling plans, each containing up to 250 sample locations, together with up to 50 named system users can also be stored in memory.
A 'fast statistics' facility allows system users to view 'percentage pass', 'caution' or 'fail' results on screen without the need to upload information to a PC. The new data analysis software makes reporting and the identification of trending both simpler and faster while information on sampling locations, time of testing, and identity of operators is readily available in pre-defined report formats. The equipment has enabled companies to implement and maintain their high levels of hygiene in support of third party accreditation schemes such as BRC Global and EFSIS.
As a further incentive for prospective users, the SystemSURE Plus instrument is available (with full customer service and technical support) on a 30 day sale-or-return trial. Alternatively a trade-in or exchange for any existing ATP system currently in operation can also be arranged.
SystemSURE is used with the Hygiena ATP swab sampling device called Ultrasnap. A further sampling device called Aquasnap is also available for water-quality related testing as undertaken for water utilities, water treatment plants, de-humidifiers and water coolers etc. Hygiena’s universal ATP swab device is called Snapshot that can be used with any luminometer on the market while showing typical savings of 30%.
