1 Sterilization System Creating the Improved Standard in Healthcare Sterilization [ SIMPLE SAFE Effective

2 The Sterizone 125L is a low-temperature sterilizer that produces its own sterilant safe, environmentally-friendly ozone. It is easy to load, simple to operate, and has a large 4.3-cubic-foot sterilization chamber to increase throughput while reducing cycles per day. With its proven ozone sterilization technology, the Sterizone 125L can be the high-reliability, low-cost sterilizer that handles up to 80% of your processing needs providing dependable results and significant savings with every cycle. Touch-Screen User-friendly interface with easy instructions saves time, prevents errors and provides real-time information about cycle status. Internal Printer Provides complete documentation of system parameters and performance for every cycle. Vent No hard connection or drain is required. Water vapor and oxygen simply disperse in the room atmosphere. OXYGEN Ozone Generator Oxygen Ozone Water (liquid) Water (Vapor) WATER Humidifier [ Simple One touch. One cycle. One system. Touch-screen displays easy-to-follow instructions Pre-set cycle parameters eliminate complicated manual configuration Single step initiates cycle Built-in printer records cycle parameters and performance Process Challenge Device (PCD) verifies successful cycle [ Safe For patients, users and the environment. Uses only water and oxygen to sterilize heat- and moisture-sensitive medical instruments Environmentally friendly no toxic wastes for special handling or disposal No handling of chemical sterilants or cartridges Vacuum contains ozone entirely within sterilization chamber during process Instruments are ready for immediate use, without aeration or cool-down after the cycle Ozone Generator Converts USP grade oxygen to powerful, safe ozone sterilant. Large 4.3 Cubic Foot Chamber High-capacity, easy-to-load square design increases throughput. High-Volume Loading Carriage Adjustable shelves allow fast, flexible loading, including stacked containers. Internal Water Supply Ensures consistent water quality. Eliminates need for external hook-up. Injection-Molded Panels Durable, easyto-clean housing resists damage and wear. Catalytic Converter Water (Vapor) and Oxygen The TS Sterilization Process Patented. Safe. Effective. Ozone is a powerful microbicide, one of the most effective sterilizing agents known to science. As shown here, the125l sterilizer uses an ozone generator to make its own inexpensive sterilant. Instruments are processed in the vacuumized sterilization chamber, then the ozone is converted back into safe oxygen and water vapor. FDA cleared Health Canada licensed Assembled and tested by TS Meets all applicable industry standards [ effective Creates its own sterilant from USP-grade oxygen.

4 Sterilization System Creating the Improved Standard in Healthcare Sterilization Maximize Processing, Minimize Costs How much money could your hospital save and put to better use if you didn t have to buy expensive hydrogen peroxide for your sterilization department? The STERIZONE 125L is a low-temperature sterilization system that produces its own sterilant safe, environmentally-friendly ozone. It creates all the ozone it needs from USP-grade oxygen and water so you don t have to buy costly packaged sterilants. And the STERIZONE 125L has a large 4.3-cubicfoot sterilization chamber to provide additional savings by handling large loads, increasing throughput and reducing cycles per day. How much could your hospital save by making a 125L Sterilizer part of your Central Services workflow?
