In fact, over half of all heat or moisture sensitive medical devices, including manufactured devices, are sterilized with ethylene oxide.<br><br>In the healthcare market, there are a number of other low- and high- sterilizing technology. However, 3M Steri-Vac\u2122 EO Systems are recognized as the gold standard of reliability and can solve complex problems.<br><br><strong>Advantages:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Advantages:<br>The 100% ethylene oxide (EO) sterilant used in systems Steri-Vac \u2122 is the most effective alternative to other low temperature sterilization substances due to its high penetrating power.<\/li><li>Safer for workers<br>Unlike older mixed gas systems which operate at or above atmospheric pressure, Steri-Vac systems operate at a vacuum (ie, under negative pressure) in a locked chamber. Designed for operator safety, Steri-Vac\u2122 Systems use easy-to-handle, sealed single dose  Steri-Gas\u2122 EO cartridges, which are punctured inside the locked, negative pressure chamber only when proper chamber conditions are achieved.<\/li><li>Easier on instruments<br>Ethylene oxide (EO) is gentler on device materials compared to oxidative sterilants, such as hydrogen peroxide. It helps to extend device life and reduce the need for repairs.<\/li><li>Environmental friendliness<br>Ethylene oxide is a regulated material, meaning that procedures have been established for its safe, responsible use. The  Steri-Vac System provides a sustainable, responsible solution for the environment. The 3M EO Abator converts EO exhaust to CO2 and water vapor with a conversion efficiency of 99.9%<em>.<\/em><\/li><li><em>Economy<br>The EO technology of Steri-Vac 5XL and 8XL systems provides a 2-4 times lower cost per sterilization cycle than either vaporized hydrogen peroxide or high level disinfection<\/em>*.

The extra-large chamber with a full-sized lower basket and two half-size upper baskets provides economical processing of large loads or larger surgical instruments. The model 8XL features a sensing system that continuously monitors and controls relative humidity during the pre-conditioning phase to optimize moisture required for the exposure cycle (two temperature cycles: 55\u00b0C and 37\u00b0C). Dependable computer controlled electronic design provides accuracy, and automatically stops the cycle and displays codes if an error is detected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Additional Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Digital display continuously shows cycle status<\/li><li>Automatic cycle of aeration<\/li><li>Single unit-dose EO cartridge is punctured inside the locked, negative pressure chamber only when proper chamber conditions are achieved<\/li><li>&#8211; Continuous temperature monitoring automatically maintains the selected cycle temperature<\/li><li>Exterior dimensions cm \u2013 179 \u0445 94 W \u0445 109 D<\/li><li>Chamber dimensions cm &#8211; 46 H \u0445 51 W \u0445 97 D<\/li><li>Chamber capacity \u2013 224 liters<\/li><li>Cycle time (time without aeration)<ul><li>Warm cycle of 55 \u00b0 C Approx. 3 hours 45 minutes.<\/li><li>Cool cycle 37 \u00b0 C Approx. 5 hours 30 minutes.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Options:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Single door or double door pass-through embodiment of the sterilization chamber.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong> Steri-Vac\u2122 Sterilizer 5XL<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The model 5XL is a dual-cycle EO gas sterilizer that allows to monitor and trace cycle operation.
