Automatic ultrasound probe high-level disinfection (HLD) system
Chronos Max
In modern healthcare settings, efficiency and patient safety are inseparable. The Chronos Max offers a rapid, chemical-free solution for High-Level Disinfection (HLD), enabling medical devices to be safely reused without the need for rinsing, drying, or extended turnaround times.
Designed specifically for TEE probes, CMAC laryngoscopes, and ENT endoscopes without operating channels, the Chronos Max utilises advanced UV-C technology to deliver consistent, validated disinfection at the touch of a single button.
Its high-performance UV-C chamber ensures full 360° exposure, eliminating shadowed areas. Integrated photodiodes monitor and validate critical disinfection parameters, including UV-C dose, temperature, and exposure time, guaranteeing reliable and traceable results without the need for manual chemical indicators.
Chronos Max has demonstrated proven efficacy against a broad spectrum of pathogens, including bacteria, yeasts, fungi, mycobacteria, spores, and viruses such as HPV and HIV. Depending on the microorganism, it achieves microbial reduction levels between 4-Log₁₀ (99.99%) and 6-Log₁₀ (99.9999%).

Fast, reliable disinfection in just 4 minutes
Chronos Max delivers a fast, fully automated high-level disinfection (HLD) cycle in 4 minutes, reducing the risk of human error and ensuring consistent results. Using advanced UV-C technology, it provides integral disinfection of the entire device, including the active tip, cable, and connector, with proven efficacy against HIV, HPV, staphylococci, and enterococci. Probes are immediately ready for reuse after the cycle, no rinsing, wiping, or drying needed.
Complete traceability is guaranteed through Germitrac embedded software, which records operator ID, device detection, and prints automatic labels.
Chronos Max is compatible with the latest TEE probes, ENT endoscopes without operating channels, and CMAC laryngoscopes, making it a versatile 3-in-1 solution for ENT and cardiology and airway management.
Its chemical-free, low-energy operation makes it an environmentally responsible choice.

User-friendly design
Ergonomic, user-friendly design
The Chronos Max has an ergonomic design with a single control button and a foot-pedal-operated door to avoid hand contact. Its larger UV-C chamber and wider door simplify instrument handling, speeding up workflow and reducing operator strain. The device runs at a noise level three times lower than the AE1, allowing placement even in patient rooms without disturbance.
Sustainable design and operation
The development of the Chronos Max focused on long-term sustainability. It features a durable quartz hanger that is more resistant than conventional plastic, making it less vulnerable to UV exposure and reducing the need for frequent replacement. The device uses chemical-free UVC technology for disinfection, operating with low energy consumption. Its estimated recyclability rate is approximately 32% higher compared to the AE1.
The AE1 uses chemical-free UVC technology
for disinfection, operating with low energy consumption. Unlike the Chronos Max with its quartz hangers, the AE1 is equipped with plastic hangers that require periodic replacement.
Sustainable operation
The AE1 employs reliable RFID-based device identification, ensuring that every disinfection cycle is documented and traceable. The system supports label printing using an external label printer. The software backend provides data archiving and subsequent retrieval, enabling the AE1 to meet traceability requirements in clinical environments.
Traceability
Complete Traceability
The Chronos Max features an advanced identification and documentation system. The device can automatically recognize inserted instruments using RFID tags and also identifies the operator. Detailed and retrievable cycle documentation is generated, which can be printed as a label via the integrated label printer. The built-in GermiTrac software enables organized and secure archiving of cycle data, supporting institutional compliance and auditability.

CHRONOS MAX
CHRONOS MAX, THE NEW GENERATION
The advantages of the Chronos Max
1. High-Level Disinfection
Chronos Max guarantees high-level disinfection, effectively eliminating bacteria, viruses, fungi, mycobacteria, and spores. This enhances patient safety by ensuring the highest standard of disinfection.
2. UV-C Technology
Chronos Max uses germicidal UV-C light to disinfect by damaging the DNA, RNA, and proteins of microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, fungi, mycobacteria, and spores, making them inactive. The system’s specially designed reflective chamber eliminates shadow areas, ensuring all surfaces receive full UV-C exposure for thorough disinfection. This advanced UV-C technology effectively kills harmful microbes, lowering the risk of infection transmission.
3. Time-Saving Operation
The disinfection cycle takes only four minutes, significantly reducing the time compared to traditional cleaning methods, thereby speeding up workflows.
4. User-Friendly Operation
Designed for simplicity, Chronos Max can be easily operated with minimal training, allowing healthcare staff to focus on other critical tasks. The Chronos Max has an ergonomic design with a single control button and a foot-pedal-operated door to avoid hand contact. Its larger UV-C chamber and wider door simplify instrument handling, speeding up workflow and reducing operator strain. The device runs at a noise level three times lower than the AE1, allowing placement even in patient rooms without disturbance.
5. Cost Efficiency
By eliminating the need for chemical disinfectants and reducing labor costs, Chronos Max provides a cost-effective solution for healthcare facilities.
