Medical gas scrubber IND ETO

Ethylene oxide is used as sterilant for sterilization of heat and humidity sensitive medical and surgical products. Ethylene Oxide consists of C2H4O molecular formula. It is colorless, flammable and toxic gas in room temperature and pressure. It is a bactericidal, fungicidal, and sporicidal disinfectant effective against most micro-organisms, including viruses. Main Sterilization Process of Ethylene Oxide Sterilization Device: - Pre-Conditioning - Sterilization - Neutralization At the Pre-Conditioning phase, the items loaded in under vacuumed chamber are exposed to heat and moisture for maintaining an environment for microorganisms to be alive. At Sterilization Phase, products are exposed to sufficient Ethylene Oxide (ETO) gas under vacuumed chamber at a certain time to kill microorganism. The most significant and critical phase is Neutralization, which begins with de-gassing process. What is Neutralization? Neutralization is a process of eliminating hazardous and toxic substances of Ethylene Oxide gas given to the atmosphere after sterilization phase. There are three types of Neutralization technique can be implemented for ETO sterilization. - Water Scrubber, - Acidic Scrubber - Catalytic Oxidizer What is Acidic Scrubber? Acidic Scrubber is an additional device dissolving (Neutralizing) procedure of ETO Gas after sterilization phase. It utilizes Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4) and Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) to eliminate Ethylene Oxide Gas as %99,999.
