Ethylene Oxide Sterilizer LEOS-T2010

Introduction

Ethylene Oxide Sterilizer has a capacity of 67 vacuum pump for high performance and low-noise operation. This sterilizer features an adjustable timing function for EO gas diffusion and residual EO aeration. The sterilization time depends on the material to be sterilized and typically ranges from 8 to 10 hours. Our sterilizer is ideal for equipment which are not resistant to high temperature.

It uses high-temperature and high-pressure steam to achieve effective sterilization of laboratory equipment, media, and waste. The advanced control system ensures thorough sterilization while preventing overheating or pressure buildup.

Applications

Our Ethylene Oxide Sterilizer is used to sterilize heat- and moisture-sensitive items such as rubber, plastic products, and medical instruments. It is ideal for sterilizing hard and soft endoscopes, surgical tools, and other delicate healthcare equipment.

FAQs

1. Why is ethylene oxide used instead of other sterilization methods for some medical devices?

Ethylene oxide (EO) is preferred for sterilizing medical devices that are sensitive to heat and moisture, such as plastic instruments, catheters, and electronics. Unlike steam sterilization, which uses high temperatures, EO operates at low temperatures (typically 36 to 55°C), preventing damage to delicate materials. EO gas can also penetrate packaging materials and intricate components, ensuring comprehensive sterilization. This makes EO an ideal solution for complex instruments and materials that cannot be effectively sterilized by other methods.

2. Is ethylene oxide sterilization safe for healthcare workers and the environment?

Yes, our Ethylene Oxide Sterilizer is designed with multiple safety features to protect healthcare workers and the environment. These features include sealed EO gas cartridges, vacuum systems, temperature and pressure protection, and automatic aeration phases that remove residual gas after sterilization. Proper facility ventilation and adherence to regulatory guidelines further reduce any potential risk. EO sterilization is safe and effective for medical applications when used correctly.

3. How does the Ethylene Oxide Sterilization process work?

The Ethylene Oxide Sterilization process typically involves three phases: pre-conditioning, sterilization, and aeration. During pre-conditioning, the items are exposed to controlled humidity to enhance EO penetration. In the sterilization phase, EO gas is introduced into a sealed chamber where it interacts with and destroys the of microorganisms. Afterward, the aeration phase removes any residual gas from the sterilized items to make them safe for handling and use. The complete cycle can last 8 to 10 hours, depending on the load and material.

4. What types of medical equipment can be sterilized using such sterilizer?

Ethylene Oxide Sterilizer is used to sterilize a wide variety of heat- and moisture-sensitive equipment. Common items include hard and soft endoscopes, surgical instruments with narrow lumens, catheters, plastic syringes, rubber products, masks, and electronic medical devices. It is especially useful in hospitals, dental clinics, and laboratories where conventional sterilization methods may not be suitable.

5. How is sterilization data recorded and retrieved in this sterilizer?

sterilizer is equipped with a thermal mini-printer and a port. These features allow users to print real-time sterilization data and download records for documentation, quality control, and regulatory compliance purposes.
