What is ethylene oxide (EtO) sterilization?
Ethylene oxide is a gas widely used in sterilization; more than 50% of medical devices are sterilized by EtO. It is used either as 100% ETO or in combination with carbon dioxide.
What are the main advantages of EtO sterilization?
It offers high penetration for large volumes, allows sterilization after final packing to avoid secondary pollution, operates at low temperatures to maintain product characteristics, and has low maintenance costs.
What products can be sterilized using an ETO Steriliser?
It is suitable for endoscopes, plastic/rubber products (gloves, syringes, catheters), surgical instruments, pacemakers, anesthetic vessels, and cotton fiber products like surgical gowns.
What are the payment and delivery terms?
Payment is typically via T/T with a 30% down payment. Production and delivery take 60-90 days, with installation and debugging taking another 15-60 days depending on chamber size.
What kind of warranty and service do you provide?
We offer a 5-year guarantee for the cabinet mainframe, 2 years for the control system, and 1 year for other parts. Overseas installation and training services are also available.
Do you provide technical documentation like FAT, IQ, OQ, PQ?
Yes, we provide FAT, IQ, OQ, and support for PQ, as well as software validation for all our sterilization equipment.
