ETO Sterilizer is type of device / machine which is used to kill or eliminate all types of microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, fungi and spores from surface or from an object. It is generally used on health, medical & laboratory to ensure that the equipment, instruments and surfaces are free from harmful microorganisms.
Hospital ETO Sterilizer
PurEtO Plus
We at Sterile Safequip and Chemicals LLP are occupied in offering a competitive range of Hospital ETO Sterilizer.
Table Top ETO Sterilizer
PurEtO Elica
PurEtO – is an EO gas sterilizer which is uniquely designed for sterilizing medical devices which are heat as well as moisture sensitive.
Types of ETO Sterilizer
ETO (ethylene oxide) sterilizers are generally used in healthcare. It is idea sterilizer because it consists of heat & moisture – sensitive medical instruments which is not possible in steam or dry heat sterilization. Following are the types, which you can select base on your end requirements.
Batch Sterilizers
These are the most used types of Sterilizer. This is idea where we use the sterilization in batch of a series of chambers. It is available for various sizes& generally used for both large & small loads.
Tabletop Sterilizers
As the name suggests such types sterilizers are in table top format & required less space. This is specifically designed for low volume sterilization for smaller health or medical places such as clinics, dental or veterinary practice.
Combination Sterilizers
As the name suggests it is the combination of multiple sterilizer such as low temperature hydrogen peroxide plasma sterilizer or UV light, to provide a more comprehensive sterilization process.
Continuous Sterilizers
This type of serialization is idea for large volume of sterilization for medical devices. In this conveyor belt are used to move medical device continuously for chamber processing.
Low-temperature sterilizers
These types of sterilizers are made in such way to operate at lower temperatures than regular sterilizers;it is very much helpful to reduce the risk of damage of heat-sensitive medical devices. It is used in hospitals and healthcare.
Process of ETO Sterilizer
01
Pre - Conditioning Phase
This phase allows microorganisms to grow under controlled temperature and humidity. In this phase, the controlled temperature and humidity is provided such that the passive infectious agents, micro-organisms, and bacteria come into the active state.
02
Sterilization Phase
This is the major phase in which the product is exposed to a sterilizing agent say ethylene oxide under a controlled temperature, pressure and humidity. The process can be used to sterilize multiple devices simultaneously.
03
Aeration Phase
In this phase, Ethylene oxide gas is removed. The batch loads under a controlled temperature and humidity to eliminate the residue of ethylene oxide gas.
Features of ETO Sterilizer
Sterilization Chamber
It is one of the most important components of ETO sterilizer where medical devices are placed for sterilization. It is design in such a way to maintain specific temperature, humidity and pressure during the sterilisation procedure.
Gas Supply System
To effectively sterilize the devices or instrument it is essential to have a continuous supply of ETO gas in order to maintain the required concentration during the sterilisation process. It also important designed gas supply system in such a way to deliver a precise amount of ETO gas into the sterilization chamber.
Vacuum System
One the unique feature of a vacuum system is that it is used to remove air and other gases from the sterilization chamber before the ETO gas is introduced in the sterilization chamber. It will make sure that the ETO gas penetrates all parts of the medical devices or instruments being sterilized.
Control System
This comes up with very good control systems which can help us to monitoring and regulating various parameters such as temperature humidity, pressure and gas concentration during sterilization process. The control system is also helps in accurate & reliable performance.
Safety Features
Safety is the most important factor when it comes to human health and risk. These are equipped with certain safety features such gas detectors, alarms, and interlocks that stops the sterilization process from starting if there is a safety hazard found.
Validation System
Validation is the proof of the smooth functioning. Sterilizers required periodic validation to make sure that the sterilization process is working smoothly & correctly and that medical devices are being properly sterilized during the sterilization process. The validation system of includes procedures for testing the usefulness of the sterilization process and for documenting the results of these tests.
Important Note
ETO is a highly flammable, explosive, and toxic gas so it is important to have proper training & safety measurements. It should also be performed by qualified professionals who have undergone the proper training of how to use the device effectively & efficiently.
Advantages of ETO Sterilizer
Effective Sterilization
It is most effective sterilization process when it comes to heat & moisture – sensitive medical instruments. It kills all forms of microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores.
Versatility
Due to its unique versatility is used in wide range of medical devices, such as medical instruments, healthcare devices, implants. This makes sterilizers a best choice for medical healthcare & hospital.
Low-Temperature Sterilization
It is operated under low temperature so it reduced the ris of the damage of the heat sensitive medical devices.
Validation
During the sterilization process, we can able to validate & ensures that the sterilization process is effective and consistent throughout.
Applications of ETO Sterilizer
ETO (ethylene oxide) sterilization is mostly used in the medical, healthcare & hospital industry to sterilize various medical devices / instruments.
Surgical Instruments
Surgical Instruments are very case-sensitive & required proper sterilization. Our products sterilizes surgical instruments, including forceps, scissors, clamps, and scalpels. This is because these instruments have many crevices and serrations that make them difficult to sterilize using other methods.
Implants
Implants like artificial joints, heart valves, and pacemakers, which are sensitive to heat & radiation can be sterile through ETO process.
Pharmaceuticals
Drug & Drug Delivery System which are case sensitive in nature & have direct or indirect impact on health can be sterilizing using ETO Process.
Catheters
Catheters and other medical tubing that are used in medical procedures can be sterilize using ETO Procedure.
Endoscopes
Devices like Endoscopes flexible medical which are low temperature in nature are generally sterilized by our products.
Market in India
The demand for sterile medical devices and equipment has impact on increase demand for Sterilizer in India & it has been grown steadily in recent years.
India is one of the key markets for ETO Sterilizer due to factors like growing populations, increase healthcare spending due to awareness knowledge & for advance medical treatments.
The Major Market Share of the products are occupied by Sterile Safequip and Chemicals LLP (SSQLLP).
