The Steris SYSTEM 1E is an automated liquid chemical sterilization processor designed for fast, effective reprocessing of cleaned, reusable, immersible, and heat-sensitive critical and semi-critical medical devices, such as flexible and semi-rigid endoscopes. Utilizing S40 Sterilant Concentrate, the SYSTEM 1E eliminates all microbial life—including bacterial endospores—through a validated process that combines two pre-filters, UV irradiation, and a MaxPure™ filter. Its gentle, neutral pH use-dilution protects delicate surgical instruments and is safe for disposal. The SYSTEM 1E is compact, efficient, and ideal for locations requiring rapid device turnaround, offering a 23-minute cycle time and minimizing device downtime between patients.
