Ethylene oxide sterilization is a widely used method for sterilizing medical devices and lab equipment that cannot withstand high temperatures. This process utilizes ethylene oxide gas to eliminate bacteria, viruses, and fungi, ensuring that the items are safe for use in medical settings. The gas penetrates packaging materials and effectively sterilizes complex instruments and devices without causing damage.
| Sterilization temperature | 30°C to 60°C |
| Exposure time | 2 to 6 hours |
| Humidity levels | 30% to 80% |
| Cycle validation | ISO 11135 compliant |
| Gas concentration | 450 to 1200 mg/L |
When selecting ethylene oxide sterilization services, consider the types of materials being sterilized and their compatibility with the process. It is important to specify the required sterilization cycle parameters, such as temperature, humidity, and exposure time. Additionally, inquire about certifications and compliance with industry standards, as well as the capacity for bulk sterilization if needed.
