The current global pandemic COVID-19 has affected every aspect of our lives, and we are working hard to return it to our previous normal life. We have become accustomed to our normal travel life, and in the face of the impact of the pandemic on the economic balance and the health hazards, there is also an increasing focus on medical personal protective equipment. Demand for personal protective equipment such as masks, gloves and gowns for daily use has increased dramatically. The challenges encountered by enterprises in the production of protective equipment, ethylene oxide sterilizers help us solve this problem.

Sterilization processes have always been essential for medical supplies, but now they take on greater significance in disinfecting to prevent infection, especially in emergencies where disposable protective supplies are in short supply.

One of the most commonly used sterilization processes is the use of ethylene oxide, a highly reactive, toxic and flammable gas capable of sterilizing at ambient temperatures, protecting medical care that cannot be exposed to moisture or heat. Supplies - such as medical devices made of polymers, plastics or plastics containing electronic components. Sterilization is believed to play an important role in the fight against Covid-19.

A shortage of filtering masks during the pandemic has led some healthcare facilities to sterilize PPE for reuse. However, the use of epoxy sterilization on personal protective equipment should not be used to sterilize filter masks for reuse due to the human health hazard of this extremely dangerous toxic chemical.

Therefore, after sterilization using an ethylene oxide sterilizer, items must be controlled for ethylene oxide residues. The residual limit depends on how the device is used, how often it is used, and how long it is used. Items need to be tested in all directions to reach the limit in order to cause minimal harm to the human body during normal use of the product.
