Hygiena's™ SystemSURE Plus is the world's best-selling ATP Sanitation Monitoring System (Hygiena's description). With improved functionality, new software, and increased memory, the SystemSURE Plus meets the demands of the cleaning and restoration companies around the world.
The Starter Kit puts the meter and your first 100 tests in one order — everything needed to start swabbing on the first job.
The price includes thermal packaging and ice pack for shipping. The UltraSnap swabs are a reagent product: put them in the fridge (2–8 °C) when the carton arrives. Hygiena allows up to 4 weeks at room temperature before use.
Not in the kit: the USB cable for downloading results and the CalCheck calibration verification device — confirm with us whether a USB cable ships with current kits before ordering one.
What Is ATP Testing?
The ATP test is a process of rapidly measuring actively growing microorganisms through the detection of adenosine triphosphate, or ATP.
ATP is a molecule found in and around living cells, and as such it gives a direct measure of biological concentration and health. ATP is quantified by measuring the light produced through its reaction with the naturally occurring firefly enzyme luciferase using a luminometer. The amount of light produced is directly proportional to the amount of ATP present in the sample.
What a reading is and is not: ATP is present in organic residue generally — food soil, body fluids, biofilm and the cells within them — not only in living microorganisms. A reading in relative light units (RLU) tells you how much organic residue is on the surface. It does not identify organisms and it is not a microbial count. Use it to verify that cleaning removed the soil; use laboratory microbiological sampling where a job needs organisms identified or counted.
Why Use ATP Testing?
With ATP testing, a restoration contractor can test the initial condition of surfaces and standing water to determine the level of contamination and thus categorize the loss more accurately as 1, 2 or 3.
The testing can also be used during the cleaning and drying processes to determine progress. And finally, at the completion of the job, testing can verify clean and sanitary materials and surfaces.
Keep the categorisation point in proportion: an ATP result is supporting evidence, not the classification itself. Water category is decided from the source of the water, how long it has been there and what it has contacted, as your restoration standard sets out. A high reading supports treating the loss as contaminated; a low reading on its own does not make a loss Category 1.

Which Tests It Reads
Hygiena lists the SystemSURE Plus as compatible with its UltraSnap surface ATP test and AquaSnap water ATP test, and with its other luminometer-read test devices. The Hygiena tests we carry:
The PRO-Clean and SpotCheck Plus tests are colour-change tests read by eye — they do not need the meter.
Third-party swabs: Anaeron lists its CleanTrust ATP Surface Swab as compatible with the SystemSURE Plus. Hygiena lists only its own tests. If you mix brands, set a separate baseline and limits for each swab type — RLU figures from different swab chemistries are not interchangeable.
Using It Well
Let the tests warm up. Hygiena's UltraSnap instructions call for the device to reach 21–25 °C before testing. A swab straight from the fridge reads low.
Swab the same way every time. A 10 × 10 cm area in a criss-cross pattern is Hygiena's standard for flat surfaces. Results are only comparable when the sampling is.
Read promptly. Insert the activated swab within 30 seconds (UltraSnap instructions). The SystemSURE Plus gives the result in about 15 seconds.
Set your own limits. The meter supports programmable pass, caution and fail limits. Build them from readings on surfaces you know are properly cleaned, not from a number copied from someone else's procedure.
Sanitiser still on the surface can suppress the reading. Sample after cleaning and before sanitising, or allow for it in your procedure.
Calibration and Data
The meter runs a sensor self-check at start-up. For in-house confirmation between checks, Hygiena's reusable CalCheck replaces the older PCD4000 Calibration Control Kit. A CalCheck verifies the meter; it does not adjust it — a failed check means contact us.
Results transfer to Hygiena's SureTrend software over USB using the SystemSURE Plus USB cable. Hygiena now also offers SureTrend as a cloud platform; confirm with us which version and licence applies before you build a reporting system around it.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many jobs will 100 swabs cover?
That depends on your sampling plan. A restoration job typically needs readings before, during and after work at each location you intend to report on. Work out swabs per job first, then reorder 100 packs or the 2,000 pack.
Do the swabs expire?
Yes. Each pack carries an expiry date and should not be used beyond it. Shelf life depends on refrigerated storage — see the Hygiena storage and shelf life guide (PDF).
Can the meter tell me whether mould or bacteria are present?
No. It measures ATP from organic residue generally. It verifies cleaning; it does not identify organisms.
