Fuse for Stella products approved by Australia's Therapeutic
Goods Association
Tristel plc (AIM: TSTL), the manufacturer of infection
prevention, contamination control and hygiene products, announces
that its Fuse disinfectant used in its Stella decontamination tray
has been approved as a high-level disinfectant by Australia's
Therapeutic Goods Association ("TGA").
Stella and Fuse are specifically designed for the
decontamination of small single-channelled instruments, with a
particular focus on urology. Flexible cystoscopes are used by
urologists for urethral, bladder and kidney examinations and Stella
is targeted at this instrument. However, it can also be used to
decontaminate bronchoscopes used in respiratory medicine,
laryngoscopes used in anaesthesia, manometry catheters used in GI
physiology, transoesophageal echo probes used in cardiology, and
nasendoscopes used in hospital ear, nose and throat clinics.
First introduced to the global hospital market in 2011, 600
Stella systems have been sold worldwide and Fuse and Stella
registered GBP1 million sales for the Company during its last
financial year.
Stella is a plastic tray sculptured to accommodate cystoscopes
whilst occupying minimal work-top space. It is battery-powered,
requiring no connection to hospital services and is service /
maintenance free. It is the world's only plug and play
decontamination concept. Stella achieves all the outcomes of
automated endoscope washers at a fraction of their cost and with
none of their complexity and operational unreliability. Fuse
delivers Tristel's high-level disinfectant into the Stella
tray.
Tristel has had a presence in the Australian hospital market
since 2011 when it received its first approval from the TGA for its
Wipes System. From 2011 to 2016 Tristel was represented in the
country by a distributor, and in August Tristel purchased the
distributor's business and established a direct presence in the
Australian hospital market via its wholly-owned subsidiary, Tristel
Pty Limited.
Paul Swinney, CEO of Tristel plc, comments: "Every regulatory
approval gained is a key milestone for Tristel, but this one is
particularly exciting. Australia has been a very successful and
profitable market for us, and the acquisition of our distributor's
business in August 2016 has surpassed expectations. Since the
acquisition, we have gained approvals for our Fuse for Surfaces,
Jet for Surfaces and Rinse Assure products, and now we have Fuse
for Stella to add to the portfolio our team can sell. Australia is
a hospital market that has a real need for the Stella
decontamination concept, with so many of the country's thousand or
so public and private hospitals in remote locations."
