Key Features
Chamber Design
The sterilization chamber is typically a large, hermetically sealed unit.
It can be made from stainless steel or other materials resistant to ETO gas.
It can be made from stainless steel or other materials resistant to ETO gas.
Safety Features:
Leak detection systems to ensure no gas escapes into the environment.
Exhaust systems to remove ETO gas safely after sterilization.
Safety interlocks to prevent opening the chamber during sterilization.

Sterilization Cycle
Preconditioning: The items to be sterilized are preconditioned to a specific temperature and humidity level.
Gas Introduction: Ethylene oxide gas is introduced into the chamber, mixed with an inert carrier gas (like CO2 or nitrogen) to achieve the desired concentration.
Exposure: The items are exposed to the gas for a specified duration, which can range from several hours to more than a day, depending on the materials and load size.
Aeration: After exposure, the gas is evacuated, and the items are aerated to remove any residual ETO gas. This can take several hours to days to ensure all traces of the gas are removed.
