Polystyrene (breakable) shaft with Polyester (dacron) Tip, in Tube. For Patient use.
Recommended for: gathering larger samples due to increased absorbancy of Polyester.
Ideal for: General sampling, useful for all organisms.
Shelf Life: 2 years.
Sterilisation Method:
Gamma Irradiation to achieve a SAL of 10-6
Alternatives: TS/19-J
Applicable Standards: CE Marked : In vitro diagnostic medical device.
Known Limitations:
1. DO NOT REUSE. Single use Device that is not suitable for re-work or reuse.
2. Certain viruses and Micro-organisms have reduced viability on dry swabs so immediate transfer or premoisten with 1-2 drops of sterile saline after sampling is permitted (if lack of exudates) when transport is necessary to prevent cell stress or no recovery.
