Case Medical Announces Breakthrough in Sterilization Technology
Case Medical announces it has received FDA 510k clearance for its SteriTite sealed container system and MediTray products. The new application included use in STERRAD 200, STERRAD NX, TSO3 ozone 125L, and pre vacuum flash sterilization using our disposable filter.
