Polypropylene shaft (flexible) with Pure Viscose Tip, in Tube. For Patient use. Recommended For: difficult sampling where a durable and flexible shaft is essential. Ideal For: awkward or invasive sampling, useful for all organisms. Shelf Life: 2 years. Sterilisation Method Gamma Irradiation to achieve a SAL of 10-6 Alternatives: TS/17-B 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.
