Frequently Asked Questions
How does a plasma hydrogen peroxide sterilizer work?
The system injects hydrogen peroxide vapor into the vacuum chamber. High-frequency radio energy is then applied to convert the vapor into a low-temperature plasma state. This process kills microorganisms and breaks down the peroxide into water vapor and oxygen, leaving no toxic residue.
What materials cannot be processed in low-temperature sterilizers?
Plasma sterilizers cannot process materials that absorb liquids, such as paper, cotton, linens, and wood, which require steam autoclaving. They are designed for metals, plastics, glass, and electronic cables.
Why is ETO sterilization still used despite longer cycle times?
Ethylene Oxide (ETO) has excellent penetrating power, making it ideal for sterilizing long, narrow-lumen devices like flexible endoscopes and pre-packaged single-use medical devices.
What exhaust venting is required for ETO sterilizers?
ETO sterilizers require a dedicated exhaust vent piped to the building's exterior, away from air intakes, to ensure safety. Bio Meditech manages the design and installation of these vent lines.
Does the plasma sterilizer require a water connection?
No, plasma sterilizers do not require water connections or drainage, making them easy to install in clean packing rooms near surgical suites.
