ETO or EO is nothing but the ethylene oxide which is widely been used nowadays in various places like hospitals, labs for the sterilization of health care devices and instruments. The process is known as EO sterilization that assures a safe and sterile product is to be delivered to the market.

This ETO sterilization is a chemical process consists of four different primary variables in order to disrupt the DNA of microorganisms which in turn will prevent them from reproducing.

The EO Sterilization process includes with the three different stages. Depending on the amount of size and devices been used, hence it is been further divided into three different cells

• Pre Conditioning
• Sterilizer
• Degasser

Initially the product goes into pre conditioning state where the microorganisms grow. As the microorganisms grow in bulk, later on helps to prevent with reproducing with the other ones.

The actual stage is EO sterilization. During this sterilization cycle, a heating jacket is been used with accurate temperature for around 60 hours considering with the system redundancy. Once the door has been closed down the cycle starts manually or automatically depending upon the type of machine been used for EO sterilization. There are different sterilization phases which takes place where a batch report is been generated that includes tolerance check, phase changes, alarms, events and critical process values.

Then comes with the final stage of the process which is degasser stage. Here any particle of the microorganism with the help of ETO is been removed. With the batch process goes in the dwell time with the controlled environment temperature.

How ETO Sterilizer is Beneficial?

ETO or EO is useful in many ways. Ethylene Oxide Gas is been used for sterilization of medical equipment and devices. This ethylene oxide kills of the microbes and the process is known as alkylation. This is also been used to sterilize heat sensitive equipments. Accordingly, there are various benefits of using this sterilization process.

ETO sterilizer has a high penetrating power so it sterilizes with large packages of materials, bundles or cloth. EO sterilizer is compatible with most medical materials which can sterilize with heat and moisture sensitive medical equipment without any effect on the medical devices.

The process is simple to monitor and easily to operate. The quality of sterilization can be effectively been controlled with the standard chemical, and biological monitoring tool.

During the sterilization process we can use the variety of wrapping material wrapped, which is easy to store, transport and can avoid the risk of cross contamination.

When the small item been damaged, rather than using the oxidation process EO alkaline process is been used to kill the minute organisms as well. EO can also been used without the heat sterilization without heat moisture items.ETO has also satisfied with ease of handling and it’s safe to use as well easy to operate. Hence ethylene oxide sterilization with industrial ethylene oxide gas sterilizer is now been considered as one of the best chemical sterilizing agent.
