2020-3-5 · Ethylene oxide sterilization is a low-temperature and low-pressure sterilization method using the biological effect of ethylene oxide gas. During the whole process of heating and moisturizing the temperature of the whole system is controlled between 10-60 degrees Celsius and a complete sterilization cycle is about 10 hours.
ETO is absorbed by many materials. For this reason following sterilization the item must undergo aeration to remove residual ETO. Guidelines have been promulgated regarding allowable ETO limits for devices that depend on how the device is used how often and how long in order to pose a minimal risk to patients in normal product use.814. ETO toxicity has been established in a variety of animals.
