Medistri’s Application Areas for EO Sterilisation
EO Sterilisation is particularly beneficial for products that cannot be subjected to high heat or moisture, making it an ideal solution for many modern medical devices and pharmaceutical products. Here’s how it works in practice for different types of products that are in their definitive package.
Sterilisation for Pharmaceutical Vials
A pharmaceutical vial is a small container, typically made of glass or plastic, used to store and protect liquid, powder, or lyophilized (freeze-dried) pharmaceutical substances. These vials must be sterilized and sealed with a rubber stopper or a screw-on cap, often secured by a metal crimp or seal. They are commonly used for injectable medications, vaccines, or other substances requiring precise dosing. Vials ensure the contents are protected from contamination and maintain sterility until use.
EO Sterilization and Treatment: A Comparative Overview
Ethylene oxide (also known as EO or EtO) is a low temperature gaseous process widely used to sterilize a variety of healthcare products, such as single-use medical devices. Through the use of a vacuum-based process, EO can efficiently penetrate surfaces of most medical devices and its lower temperature makes it an ideal process for a wide variety of materials.
Mixed Load Sterilisation Validation
Mixed Load Sterilisation Validation is crucial for ensuring the efficacy and safety of medical devices. It verifies that sterilisation processes effectively treat diverse loads containing various materials and configurations, meeting stringent regulatory standards. Medistri excels in providing robust validation services, ensuring compliance and reliability in sterilisation practices.
Mixed Load Cycles
Ensuring the safety and effectiveness of medical instruments is crucial in healthcare. One advanced method for achieving this is through Mixed Load Cycles, where different types of instruments are sterilized together in a single cycle. This approach not only saves time but also improves operational efficiency in medical settings.
EO Sterilisation Technology
At Medistri, we’re focused on using our resources to combat climate change. We believe our commitments are both ambitious and necessary. To achieve our objectives, we focus on scalable innovation. Designing and implementing new technologies, mobilising financing structures, and rapidly deploying renewable energy.
Steam Sterilisation Technology
Steam sterilisation technology exposes your products with saturated steam under pressure. Steam enhances the ability of heat to kill microorganisms by reducing the time and temperature required to denature or coagulate proteins in the microorganisms. Steam sterilisation cycles generally have three phases including conditioning, exposure and exhaust. Steam sterilisation is a simple but very effective method of decontamination.
Introduction to EO Sterilisation
At Medistri, whether you are a start-up or a large established company, you can track your products through the EO sterilisation process and have a clear overview of when your products are ready to leave our facilities. Medistri can ship your sterile products directly to your customers or to your distribution centre.
Steam Sterilisation Validation
The validation of steam sterilization on products includes both physical and microbiological qualification processes. These processes are performed to ensure that the sterilization process is effective in deactivating microorganisms and providing a sterile product for later use.
EO Sterilisation for Medical Devices
Sterilisation is an important method that manufacturers widely use to keep medical devices safe for patient use. It is a considered a ‘cold’ sterilization technique and offers high compatibility with most materials used in the manufacturing & packaging of medical devices, such as plastics, polymers, metals and glass. For many medical devices, EO sterilisation may be the only method that effectively sterilizes without damaging the device during the sterilisation process.
