SMS is a Polish company that was founded in 1946. During the first few years of operation, the company produced a variety of small and medium-sized devices, primarily for the healthcare and food industries.
SMS Low Temperature Plasma Sterilizer
SMS P50 & P150 Plasma Sterilizers
With its 50L chamber volume and table-top design, the SMS P50 is ideal for healthcare facilities needing to sterilize materials in small volumes. On the other hand, the SMS P150 with its 150L chamber would suit large hospitals and medical centers that require much higher volumes.
SMS P50 and P150 low-temperature plasma sterilizers use hydrogen-peroxide (H2O2) based sterilant making it superior to sterilizers that use ethylene-oxide (EtO) based sterilant. The sterilant is much safer to handle for the operator and no toxic residues are released to the environment – only water vapor and oxygen. These sterilizers are therefore safe for the operator, the patient and environment.
For added cost-effectiveness, both sterilizers make use of locally sourced sterilant removing the need to stock so many bottles between re-orders.
Key Features:
- User-friendly color touchscreen control panel (7” for P50 and 9.7” for P150)
- Microprocessor controller assures a fully automatic and safe completion of the selected sterilization program
- 3 integrated sterilization programs:
SHORT: 30 minutes (items not in contact with blood and other body fluids)- STANDARD: 65 (most surgical instruments)
- ADVANCED: 75 (long/flexible endoscopes; complicated items)
- No drainage or ventilation required
- Rectangular chamber with guides, on two levels, for sterilization trays
- Vacuum test
- Sterilized material is ready for use instantly after the sterilization process
- Process chart (temperature and pressure)
- Thermal printer provides print-out of the entire sterilization process, including alerts.
- Bluetooth or Wi-Fi printer options
- Remote control and monitoring options.
Common Applications:
- Products made of synthetic polymer materials
- Products made of metal (aluminum, titanium, stainless steel) and glass
- Medical optical systems (and fiber-optic cables)
- Medical electrical tools and cables
- Endoscopes and various probes
- Ultrasonic medical instruments
- Ultrasonic sensors
- Medical implants and tools for their installation
- Tube-shaped products made of stainless steel

Chemical Indicator Strips
H2O2 Test Strips
Chemical Indicator Strips are a quick, easy, and dependable way to check the coverage of the disinfecting mist dispensed by a HaloFogger®. When placed throughout a room prior to treatment (at least four are recommended, one in each corner), the pad on the strip’s end will change from white to black in the presence of high levels of hydrogen peroxide (70ppm or higher). Place strips wherever you need proof that the fog reached – and disinfected – that surface.
