VP4 validated for claims in EU!!
VP4 validated for claims in EU!!While some of us have been waiting for clarity on TSO3 claims approval for scopes in Europe, this news apparently has been released without fanfare or telling anyone.
I was just going over the recent February update presentation on the TSO3 site (which does provide an excellent summary of the company), and, low and behold.....
"TSO3 Sterizone VP4 is the only new new device validated for sterilization of colonscopes, gastroscopes, and duodenoscopes in Europe and Canada" p 10
I am not sure when this EU approval took place, but, in response to a question at the last cc about EU plans, this very significant news was not and has not, to my knowledge, been publically stated previously, (unless someone has seen a news release that I have missed, in which case I stand to be corrected.) I would have thought this very important news would have been worth a statement from the company.
I presume these claims are the same as the claims in Canada and based on the same data, but it is unclear if the EU claims include sterilization of the Olympus Q180V duodenoscope as they do in Canada.
Looking forward to further clarity regarding opening up the huge EU market.
