2. Does EO Gas have any negative affect on plastic parts during sterilization?
The EO Gas 4 sterilization process will not have any negative affect on plastic parts. Our sterilization method is designed for delicate material and will not show deterioration due to Eto sterilization. NOTE: A notable con to the Steris is the high risk of exposure to hydrogen peroxide and the risk of chemical burns. Also as dealing with harsh chemicals, they have been known to damage the equipment.
3. Can EO Gas sterilize lumens that are 12cm long?
EO Gas is suitable for sterilizing lumens and there are fewer limitations of what you can sterilize with Eto.
4. How long is each cycle?
This depends on what you are trying to sterilize (material, size of item, and size of load). In general a 3.5 or a 5 hour cycle is usually sufficient. Using the biological indicators is a great way to tell what cycle time they can use.
