• ETO Sterilizer

ETO Sterilizer Description

Ethylene Oxide (EO or ETO) Gas is commonly used to sterilize objects sensitive to temperatures greater than 60°C and /or radiation such as plastics, optics and electrics. Ethylene oxide treatment is generally carried out between 30°C and 60°C with relative humidity above 30% and a gas concentration between 200 and 800 mg/l, and typically lasts for at least three hours. Ethylene oxide penetrates well, moving through paper, cloth, and some plastic films and is highly effective. ETO can kill all known viruses, bacteria and fungi, including bacterial spores and is compatible with most materials (e.g. of medical devices), even when repeatedly applied. However, it is highly flammable, toxic and carcinogenic.

Ethylene oxide sterilization is a chemical process consisting of four primary variables: gas concentration, humidity, temperature and time. Ethylene oxide is an agent that disrupts the DNA of microorganisms, which prevents them from reproducing. EO sterilization assures that a safe and sterile product will be delivered to the market each and every time.

Salient Features of ETO Sterilizer

  • Machine is suitable to Sterilize Surgical Medical Device products like I.V. Sets, Disposable Syringes, Disposable Surgical Set, catheter, Urine Bag etc.

  • ETO Sterilization reduce microbiological load and increase life span of material.

  • Modular construction of chamber.

  • Model is available from 0.5 Cubic Meters to 40 Cubic Metres.

  • Easy to operate.

  • Fully automatic operation based on PLC control.

  • Semi Automatic (Pneumatically Operated Ball Valve) Control.

  • Contact parts are SS 304 / 316.

  • Process time about 8 hours.

  • IQ/OQ/DQ documentation can be offered on demand. (OPTIONAL).

  • It is useful for prevention of micro biological contamination useful for treatment of spices, dried nuts, Foods Packed cereals etc.

Process Operation of ETO Sterilizer

Ethylene Oxide Sterilization (Sterilisation) offers various distinct advantages over the conventional steam sterilizers (sterilisers), being a DRY & COLD (operates at 50ºC ) process proves very useful in sterilization of expensive items, also it has got a unique penetration ability, so it is very useful in sterilization (Sterilisation) of expensive and delicate items such as Cardiac catheters, Stents, IOL’s Tubings, various types of scopes, sharp surgical instruments etc., its unique mode of action, also enhances the life of several surgical accessories & disposables items thus making them perfectly reusable.

Types of EO Gas Sterilizers

We are one of the leading EO Gas Sterilizer manufacturer in India. We manufacture below two types of ETO sterilizers:

Semi Automatic Operation Mode EO Sterilizer: In this type of control mode there are analog type buttons onto control panel of the machine through which machine operation procedure will be done.

Fully Automatic Operation Mode EO Sterilizer: This is PLC HMI based fully automatic control mode equipment in which there is HMI mounted onto control panel of the machine through which operation procedure done.
