Sterilization 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...
متن کاملEffect of Moisture on Ethylene Oxide Sterilization.
Bacterial cells dehydrated beyond a critical point no longer react uniformly to ethylene oxide sterilization. The percentage of cells resistant to the lethal effect of ethylene oxide after desiccation is often as small as 0.1 to 0.001%. However, 5% resistant cells were observed with one type of microorganism dried in broth. The presence of organic matter increases the percentage of cells that b...
