Last weekend, ARC travelled across Canada to Banff, Alberta for the annual CSGNA Conference. We enjoyed having the opportunity to meet everyone who stopped by our booth and we are already looking forward to next year's show in Niagara Falls, Ontario. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to take a look at our products and speak with our team.

If you missed us, hopefully we'll be able to meet you at one of our upcoming shows in Annapolis, Maryland or Düsseldorf, Germany!

Far too often, we hear news stories about potential infection or HIV outbreaks at hospitals and endoscopy clinics. Every time the cause is the same; inadequate reprocessing of endoscopes. Nearly 2,500 women who underwent biopsies at the Miramichi Regional Hospital's colposcopy clinic in New Brunswick may be at risk of HIV and other infections because their sterilization procedures weren't always followed.

Adhering to reprocessing procedures is critical, however without adequate reprocessing equipment it's easy for busy staff members to miss critical steps in the process. It's extremely important to have user-friendly products in then reprocessing department that automate the manual process to reduce human error and risks of infection.

ARC is pleased to announce that we have received our first Canadian order of the Automated Endoscope Reprocessor (PT3AER) through our distributor Getinge Canada.  The PT3AER is our latest product to be released and is a key part of our 3-step endoscope reprocessing solution. The Reprocessor will be in operation in a Greater Toronto Area hospital as part of a renovation which involves the construction of an entirely new wing. The PT3AER will ensure that the hospital keeps up with new technology, new diagnostic techniques and improvements in patient care.
