Description
The Avanos PMA-AC-100675 (formerly Halyard/Kimberly-Clark) is a specialized Radiofrequency (RF) Probe Autoclave Case. It is an essential accessory for clinics and hospitals that utilize reusable radiofrequency probes, providing a safe and organized environment for cleaning, sterilization, and storage.
Key Features
Autoclavable Design: Specifically engineered to withstand the high temperatures and pressures of a steam autoclave. This allows the reusable probes to remain inside the protective case throughout the entire sterilization cycle.
Internal Organization: The case features dedicated slots or "nests" designed to hold multiple RF probes (such as the PMP series) securely. This prevents the delicate probes from shifting or knocking against each other, which could damage the sensitive internal thermocouples or kink the Nitinol shafts.
Perforated Construction: The case is heavily perforated to allow for maximum steam penetration during the autoclave process and efficient drainage and drying afterward.
Probe Protection: Acts as a rigid shield during transport between the sterile processing department (SPD) and the procedure room, reducing the risk of accidental needle-stick injuries or damage to the probes.
Compatibility: Designed to hold various lengths of Avanos reusable probes, including standard 54 mm, 100 mm, and 145 mm sizes.

Clinical Importance
Instrument Longevity: Reusable RF probes are significant investments. Using a dedicated autoclave case prevents the physical degradation that occurs when probes are loose in a general sterilization tray.
Standardization: Having a dedicated case for RF accessories helps surgical teams quickly account for all probes during procedure setup and teardown.
Safety: Protects the distal tips of the probes, which are the most critical part for accurate temperature sensing and energy delivery.
