How does an ETO Sterilizer Work?
The Working of ETO sterilization process involves several key stages: Preconditioning : Items to be sterilized are preconditioned to remove any residual moisture or heat-sensitive materials. This step ensures that the ETO gas can effectively penetrate the items. Exposure : The items are placed in a chamber where they are exposed to ethylene oxide gas. The gas penetrates packaging and reaches the surfaces of the items, including crevices and hard-to-reach areas. Post-Exposure : After exposure, the chamber is ventilated to remove the ETO gas. The items are then aerated to allow any remaining gas to dissipate. This step is crucial for ensuring that the items are safe to handle and use. Testing : Regular testing and monitoring are performed to ensure that the ETO sterilizer is functioning correctly and that the items are fully sterilized. What is ETO Sterilization?
