An ETO Sterilizer is a type of sterilization equipment that utilizes ethylene oxide gas to sterilize medical devices, pharmaceuticals, and other sensitive materials that are not suitable for sterilization by other methods such as steam or radiation.
ETO Sterilizers work by exposing items to ethylene oxide gas in a controlled environment. The gas penetrates packaging and destroys microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and spores, by disrupting their cellular processes.
The duration of the sterilization process can vary depending on factors such as the type and quantity of items being sterilized, the size and configuration of the sterilizer, and the specific parameters set for the sterilization cycle. Typically, the process can range from several hours to a day or more.
Yes, there are alternative sterilization methods available, such as steam sterilization (autoclaving), radiation sterilization (gamma irradiation), and hydrogen peroxide gas plasma sterilization. The choice of method depends on the nature of the items being sterilized and their compatibility with the sterilization process.
