Ethylene oxide sterilization of medical devices: a review.
Ethylene oxide (EO) is a well-known sterilizing agent. However, only recently has its use significantly emerged, based on its range of applications in the field of new medical device development and sterilization. This paper describes the progress in terms of EO sterilization and concludes that it remains a promising field to explore and develop. The EO action mechanism and toxicity are analyze...
متن کاملCold Sterilization of Cardiac Catheterization Equipment with Ethylene Oxide Gas.
OCCASIONAL infections in sites of venous cutdowns and an episode of fever in a patient following cardiac catheterization caused us to review the procedures used in this laboratory for preparation of catheterization equipment. Materials not susceptible to damage by wet heat (surgical instruments, syringes and needles, drapes) are sterilized in a steam autoclave. Polyethylene catheters, cuvette o...
متن کاملSterilization by ethylene oxide.
Although sterilization by steam under pressure and by hot air are procedures which are now well understood and efficient when properly conducted, there is an increasing number of objects in medical or surgical use which are too heat labile to be so treated. It is for such items as plastic catheters, disposable plastic syringes, and prostheses that ethylene oxide has been proposed as a convenien...

متن کامل[Measurement of ethylene oxide at a medical sterilization site].
Although ethylene oxide gas is widely used as a sterilizing agent for medical instruments because of its disinfection property, the effects of its use in medical settings have not been clarified. In the present study, we measured the ethylene oxide gas concentration (EOGC) within a hospital sterilization unit and in the ambient air near the unit. Before the sterilizer was turned on (about 9:00)...
