The Getinge SafeStep ATP Monitor is intended to help the
operator demonstrate due diligence and compliance with
surgical instrument and scope reprocessing and other
hygiene regulations by allowing simple hygiene monitoring
via the use of an ATP bioluminescent test.
The SafeStep ATP Monitor system consists of three
elements: the Test Swab device, Test Sponge device and the
handheld reader unit.
This Operator’s Manual provides a detailed description of
how to use the Getinge SafeStep ATP Monitor unit, and how
to handle maintenance and troubleshooting.
For full details on the Test Swab and Test Sponge devices,
please refer to the Product Specification and kit insert.
For any additional technical assistance, please contact
Getinge USA. Inc.
1.1 Key Unit Features
The main features of the Getinge SafeStep ATP Monitor
unit are:
• Small and lightweight reader
• Large clear liquid crystal display
• Highly sensitive unit
• Quick results – just 15 seconds
• Internal calibration self-check light source
• 5000 user programmable result thresholds
• Large 2000 test result memory
• 200 programmable users
• RS232 interface for results uploading to a PC
• Uses two standard or rechargeable baeries
• Replaceable protective sample pocket
1. Introduction
1.2 Accessories and Consumables
Please contact your Getinge representative for details of
unit accessories and consumables.
1.3 Principle of Operation
The Test Swab device uses a bioluminescent chemistry
technology to convert an invisible concentration of ATP
present in the sample into a visible light output.
This extremely low-level light output is measured by the
Getinge SafeStep ATP Monitor unit to produce both a
quantitative and qualitative result.
The quantitative result is a number in the range 0 to 9999,
expressed in terms of Relative Light Units (RLUs).
Although RLUs are not a recognized international unit
of light measurement (such as lux), they do provide a
real measure of the amount of light output by the ATP
bioluminescent test.
In this application, 1 RLU is roughly equivalent to 1 fmol of
ATP.
The quantitative RLU reading is then compared against user
programmable thresholds to provide an overall qualitative
pass () or fail () result.
PLEASE NOTE
The Getinge SafeStep ATP Monitor unit is a highly sensitive
and delicate measurement device. To avoid damage and
degradation in performance, the unit should be treated with
the utmost care and respect at all times.

buon to select the a User ID, or the “OK” buon to cancel
the selection.
TIP: User:0 is the default selection if no User ID list has been

4.2 Seing up Program Test Points and
Pass/Fail Limits
The unit has the ability to store a list of 5000 unique
Program test points (Prog# 0 to 5000), each with its own
upper and lower pass/fail result threshold values.
Program test point location names can only be
programmed to the unit through the Getinge SafeStep ATP
Monitor soware. Program pass/fail thresholds can either
be set-up on the unit, or set using the Getinge SafeStep
ATP Monitor soware. If a location name is entered and
threshold set in the Getinge SafeStep ATP Monitor, and
then downloaded to the unit, the threshold values can’t be
changed via the unit. This is a security feature and prevents
inadvertent changes to the thresholds aer they have been
set.
TIP: Prog:0 has a special function, whereby the threshold
values defined for Prog:0 are used as the initial values
when seing-up the other Prog thresholds. Thus seing
Prog:0 with your typical threshold values will save time
when seing-up the other Programs. The unit comes with
pass/fail thresholds of 100 RLU for pass and 100 RLU for
fail. These pass/fail thresholds were determined based on
a comprehensive study looking at ATP, food residue, and
microorganism samples. To receive the report or more
information on seing up pass/fail thresholds contact
