Horizontal Pure Ethylene Oxide ETO Sterilization Machine With Vertical Sliding Door

• Pre-conditioning: Used to preheat and humidify product loads to predefined conditions. This will assure a repeatable EO sterilization process regardless of pre-processing load storage conditions
• Sterilization: Performed using process phases specifically designed to provide the required level of EO exposure to assure sterility for a device or family of devices
• Aeration: Used to accelerate out gassing of exposed product loads and to contain and eliminate residual EO emissions to ensure that it meets specified residual limits outlined in ISO 10993-7

Advantages of EtO are:

• Low temperature
• High efficiency – destroys microorganisms including resistant spores
• Large sterilizing volume/ chamber capacity
• Non corrosive to: plastic, metal and rubber materials

Disadvantages are:

• Excessively Long cycle
• Safety concerns - carcinogenic to humans
• Toxicity issues - toxic residues on surgical instruments and tubing
• Not recommended for flexible scope
• EtO is flammable
• Requires special room conditions, safety equipment and separate ventilation system
• Relatively high annual costs for maintenance, servicing and consumables
