TecnoMed offers advice on HTM 01-05 conformity

TecnoMed is offering those in the dental industry advice on how to ensure they are confirming to the Department of Health’s alteration of the HTM 01-05 guidelines.

The firm has pointed out that the regulations are set to be passed into law this year and require dentists operating in the UK to thoroughly sterilise all instruments and equipment after each surgical procedure.

Professionals wanting to take advantage of the assistance offered by TecnoMed can use its self-assessment audit as a checklist to meet essential quality requirements and maintain best practice.

Advising on the issue, the company added: “A qualified member of our technical team will use the information provided to prepare a document detailing the most appropriate equipment your practise needs to be using to comply.”

In other TecnoMed news, the organisation launched MultiSteril last autumn – the first fully-automatic multi-function system for the management of the initial sterilisation cycle, it claimed.
