Medical instruments and equipment must be kept sterile in hospitals to prevent any infection. The Hospital ETO Sterilizer works on EO (ethylene oxide) gas for heat purpose sterilization. It is a medical equipment that is sensitive to moisture, and it is one of the important sterilization methods in health care facilities.

Design Focused on Safety and Efficiency
With robust construction in high purity grade stainless steel, the design of the Hospital ETO Sterilizer maintains a high level of cleanliness. The design incorporates PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) systems and Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI), ensuring precise control and monitoring of the sterilization process. This approach enhances operator safety by minimizing the gas exposure via working primarily with 100% EO cartridges.
How It Works?
A Hospital ETO Sterilizer encompasses key phases of the sterilization process:
-
Preconditioning: Medical devices are introduced inside the chamber, where the temperature and humidity are adjusted to optimal levels to enable effectiveness during sterilization.
-
Vacuum: The air in the chamber gets removed to ensure the EO gas penetrates deep into the devices.
-
Gas Introduction: The EO gas is introduced at specific concentrations in the chamber to expose all surfaces and internal pathways within the medical devices to the sterilant.
-
Exposure Phase: Depending on the size and number of devices, the EO gas is in contact with the devices for a specific period of time, allowing the EO to damage the DNA and proteins of the microorganisms, thereby neutralizing the microorganisms.
-
Aeration: After sterilization, the chamber is ventilated to expel any residual EO gas, which makes the devices safe for use.
Designed to Meet Different Capabilities
The Hospital ETO Sterilizers can accommodate a wide range of medical instruments, including:
-
Catheters and Cardiac Domes: Fragile tools needing low-temperature sterilization for continued efficacy.
-
Thermo-labile Products: Items that can not withstand heat, and are sensitive to steam sterilization methods.
-
Fine Surgical Instruments: Fine tools that must retain the level of sharpness and structure.
-
Orthopedic Implants: Ultra-clean devices essential to disinfect in order to stop postoperative infections
They feature programmable cycles to meet the unique needs of different devices without compromising effectiveness or safety.
User-Friendly Operation
Modern Hospital ETO Sterilizers come with the user-friendly front-end:
-
Touchscreen Controls: Enable an easy glide through sterilization cycles and adjustments.
-
Automation: Automation processes to reduce manual intervention and the risk of human error.
