NiGK’s sterilization indicators are all designed and developed in ISO compliant factory and laboratory in Japan and accurate enough to comply with rigorous ISO standards. We will continue to produce the best possible items for the professionals that are continuously struggling to improve the CSSD, healthcare quality and social welfare.

Unlike other test systems, the ETS clearly shows the test result as a «pass» or «fail». These functions together with a number of other innovative design characteristics ensure that the ETS provides the accurate and independent sterilization testing that sterile service professionals rely on.
