Report available here

The CO2 Emission Report for the fiscal year 2021.10.01–2022.09.30 for both Safe Sterilization ApS and Scantago A/S is now available.

We are pleased to observe that our total emission of CO2 has decreased by 5.97 % compared to the previous fiscal year 2020/2021.

Sustainability and the climate impact have high priority for Safe Sterilization ApS and Scantago A/S, which means that we take responsibility for reducing our climate imprint. 

The next step on the road to reducing our climate imprint is our future domicile, which will have a ground source heat pump system and solar panels implemented on the building as well. Finally, we want to focus on the biodiversity of the outdoor areas surrounding our new domicile.

Safe Sterilization ApS and Scantago A/S initiated in June 2022 the project to become ISO 14001:2015 certified, the goal is to achieve the certification in spring 2023.

Both companies are ISO 9001:2015 certified by DNV, therefore the goal is to achieve a total certification for both companies, and future certifications will focus on both ISO 9001 and ISO 14001

Prior to the ISO 14001 project, we started earlier this year to produce a comprehensive report on the companies' CO2 emissions, with a historical review for the years 2017/18 to 2020/21.

In connection with the new update that has appeared in NIR in May 2019, Safe addresses the following:

A subscription is continuous, that is, you commit for one year at a time, as shown by our Terms. It is therefore only possible to change (downgrade) your subscription from 12 x annually, to a minimum of 4 x annually* at the end of the subscription expiration. It is possible to subscribe to the new subscription now, but it will not take effect until the current subscription expires.

If the sterilizer has operation stop and after repair, additional tests must be used. These can be purchased from Safe.

For the use of chemical indicators, please note that an update has been provided in the NIR (pp. 44-45)** which means that a different type of chemical indicator must be used if your autoclave has pre-vacuum. Please note this when ordering chemical indicators.

Comment on *:

Please note that if you have more than 200-400 runs per quarter, your autoclave should be tested with biological indicators more often than every quarter. (NIR p. 32) Safe recommends that all runs are recorded in e.g. a logbook.

Comment on **:

When using multivariable chemical indicators to control e.g. temperature, pressure and time:

The test is carried out on all the programs used at the clinic.

  • The indicators are placed in different places in the autoclave in the most accessible places for steam and in the different types of packaging used (e.g. in cassettes, wrapped and between instruments)
  • The autoclave is packed and run as usual
  • The indicators shall be checked immediately after emptying the autoclave

Using chemical indicators such as Bowie &Dick test or Helix (hollow tube test):

The test is carried out daily before today's programme in an empty heated steam autoclave according to the manufacturer's/supplier's instructions.

  • The indicator can be for single or multiparameter measurement but must fit the process
  • The test is carried out on all the programs used at the clinic
  • The indicator is checked immediately after testing the autoclave

Safe Sterilization can, on request, deliver a spiral back logbook in A4 format, the price is 85,- DKK/piece including shipping in Denmark.
