Ethylene oxide gas has strong bactericidal power and wide bactericidal spectrum, and can kill various microorganisms including bacterial spores. It is a bactericidal agent. Most items that are not suitable for sterilization by general methods can be sterilized and sterilized with ethylene oxide. Ethylene oxide is currently one of the main low-temperature sterilization methods.
Ethylene oxide gas has strong penetrating power and can sterilize packaged items.
Ethylene oxide can be used for the sterilization of almost all medical supplies, but it is not suitable for the sterilization of food, liquid, oil, talcum powder and animal feed.
Packaging materials suitable for ethylene oxide sterilization include paper, composite dialysis paper, cloth, non-woven fabric, ventilated rigid container, polyethylene, etc. Packaging materials that cannot be used for ethylene oxide sterilization include metal foil, polyvinyl chloride, and cellophane. Changes to packaging materials should be verified to ensure the reliability of sterilization of the sterilized items.
Sterilization principle and advantages analysis of ethylene oxide sterilizer:
Ethylene oxide sterilizer is the key equipment for disposable sterile medical device manufacturers. It has special requirements for installation, operation and use management. Ethylene oxide is used as a sterilant. Ethylene oxide is a broad-spectrum Sterilizer, which can kill various microorganisms at room temperature, including spores, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, bacteria, viruses, fungi, etc.
The waste gas mainly comes from the ethylene oxide gas produced by the sterilization process and aeration chamber. We offer two different ways to reduce the waste EO gas concentration(PPM) to achieve the limited requirement you need--scrubber or the catalyst using electricity. Two different ways to reduce the PPM of the EO waste gas.
