Description
EDM3 ProSure Mailers are mail-in biological monitoring systems that let a third party verify sterilizer performance for steam, chemical vapor, dry heat and ethylene oxide cycles. Each box includes pre-addressed mailers for the spore tests, and results are available in 24 hours for most processes, with dry heat results in 7 days.
- Third-Party Verification - spore tests are processed and read by the manufacturer lab
- Pre-Addressed Mailers - mailers are included for sending tests in
- 24 Hour Results - results for steam and most processes return in 24 hours
Sterilizer monitoring only counts when the result is documented, and the ProSure system is built around an independent read. The practice runs the spore test in its own sterilizer, mails it in the pre-addressed envelope, and the manufacturer processes and reports the result. The system covers steam, chemical vapor, dry heat and ethylene oxide sterilizers, so one monitoring program can span every sterilizer in the building. The manufacturer recommends the mailers weekly for sterilization monitoring, and they can also validate the results of an in-office system such as EZTest. Boxes are sized by test count: 6, 12, 26 or 52 tests per box, which maps to roughly a quarter to a full year of weekly monitoring. The configuration selector lists the test count for every option.

Why Choose the EDM3 ProSure Mailers?
An in-office read asks the same team that ran the cycle to grade it. ProSure moves the read to a third party and returns a documented result, which is the record an auditor or a surveyor wants to see.
- Independent results - spore tests are processed and reported by the manufacturer lab - monitoring records that stand up to review
- All sterilizers covered - one mailer program spans steam, vapor, dry heat and EO - one monitoring routine for the whole office
- Sized to the calendar - box counts from 6 to 52 tests match quarterly to annual weekly monitoring - no mid-year reorder scramble
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the mail-in system work?
Run the spore test in your sterilizer, place it in the pre-addressed mailer included in the box, and send it to the manufacturer. The lab processes the test and reports the result back to your practice.
How fast are results?
Results are available in 24 hours from receipt of the envelope for steam, chemical vapor and ethylene oxide. Dry heat results require 7 days.
Which sterilizers can it monitor?
The system covers steam, chemical vapor, dry heat and ethylene oxide sterilizers. One box program can monitor every sterilizer type in the practice.
How often should monitoring run?
The manufacturer recommends the mailers weekly for sterilization monitoring. A 52-test box covers a year of weekly tests for one sterilizer.
Can it check an in-office system?
Yes. The manufacturer positions the mailers for use in conjunction with the EZTest in-office monitoring system to validate in-office results.
