Frequently asked questions

What is Chronos® Max Medical Device Classification?

Chronos® Max is a class IIb device, CE marked according to MDR 2017/745.

How is compatibility confirmed between Chronos® Max and a Medical Device?

Based on the exposure test protocol, co-validated by Germitec and the leading ultrasound probe manufacturers, a dedicated team manages long-term compatibility campaigns with accelerated weathering tests which can be performed 24/7 over several months.

How many Medical Devices can be disinfected at the same time in Chronos® Max?

To ensure an optimal High-Level Disinfection without any blind spots nor shadow areas and an optimal traceability, Chronos® Max can only disinfect one medical device at a time.

Can the Chronos® Max be installed in an examination room?

The Chronos® Max can therefore be installed in an examination room, close to the patient. During the High-Level Disinfection cycle, the sound volume is between 25 dB and 46 dB, no more than the noise of a dishwasher in operation.
