Cold 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 کاملPortable ethylene oxide sterilization chamber.
A portable ethylene oxide sterilization chamber was designed, constructed, and tested for use in the sterilization of embolectomy catheters. The unit can accommodate catheters up to 40 inches (101.6 cm) in length and can be operated for less than 4 cents per cycle. A constant concentration of 500 mg of ethylene oxide per liter of space and holding periods of 4 and 6 hr at 43 and 22 C, respectiv...
متن کاملMicrobiological Aspects of Ethylene Oxide Sterilization.
Spores of Bacillus subtilis var. niger, dried on nonhygroscopic and hygroscopic surfaces, were enclosed in one of four thicknesses of low-density polyethylene film (2, 4, 6, and 20 mils). The surfaces were then placed in a specially designed thermochemical death rate apparatus and exposed to an ethylene oxide concentration of 600 mg/liter (at 54.4 C) and 50% relative humidity. Survival data, in...
