General description

The MVP ICON® is a complete pioneering HACCP and hygiene monitoring system. The system measures and records Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) and other key HACCP parameters (pH, temperature, conductivity, and chemical concentration) to provide a management tool that ensures the success of the quality assurance program. It can measure ATP in seconds. The software displays the results on a proprietary Zones of Cleanliness scale that has been adapted from RLU′s. The results are categorized into clean, cautious, and fail areas, facilitating prompt identification and implementation of necessary corrective actions.The MVP ICON® instrument comes with a multi-variable platform and responsive touch display. It also facilitates on-site calibration for all parameters. The MVP ICON® Dashboard software offers a live overview of critical program metrics vital for effective quality management of the HACCP program. The design of the sampling devices compensates for variations in the swabbing technique, ensuring accurate and consistent readings. The proprietary reagents prevent chemical interference, allowing for ATP testing before or after sanitizing. The MVP ICON® system Conductivity Probe allows precise measurement of chemical concentrations to avoid unnecessary over-use of expensive chemicals. Probes for pH and temperature are also available.

Application

MVP ICON® is designed for rapid monitoring of surface hygiene and cleaning efficacy indicators (such as ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate), NAD (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide), and protein detection). It is a comprehensive hygiene monitoring system for the Food and Beverage industries.

Suitability

ATP Testing, Food Processing, HACCP Monitoring, Sanitation

Principle

The detection of ATP through bioluminescence is a well-established and widely used indicator of surface hygiene and cleaning efficacy in food processing. Visual inspection is not an adequate critical control for surface hygiene and the lengthy time-to-result of microbiological test methods (from 2 - 7 days) make them ineffective for hygiene monitoring. ATP detection with the MVP ICON provides results in 10 seconds allowing for immediate "go/no-go" decisions to be made prior to the start of processing and allows for correction actions, when necessary, to be taken immediately. ATP is a molecule that is found in all living cells, including: bacteria, yeast, mold and all organic matter. After cleaning and/or sanitizing, food processing equipment and the plant environment is tested for ATP. If cleaning/sanitizing has been effective, ATP levels should be low.
