What is Cath Lab ETO Sterilizer?
Cath lab ETO sterilizer is an ultra-modern sterilizer that is vastly used in the sterilization of medical, surgical and pharmaceutical products. Ethylene oxide sterilization is an advanced method to sterilize medical devices and other heat sensitive devices. As a pioneering cath lab ethylene oxide supplier in India, we provide advanced hospital EO sterilizer that is not only safe to use but eco-friendly as well. A vast array of delicate devices which are otherwise impossible to sterilize by deploying conventional methods can be seamlessly sterilized using this ultra-modern sterilizer.
Working Principle and Sterilization Process
Let’s take a look at the working principle and several stages involved in the sterilization process. Since, there is no standardized process owing to a vast diversity in exposure periods and gas concentration, the process below is a typical one and must be taken into consideration for reference purposes only.
The machine uses single use EO cartridges of 40, 100 and 170 grams. The chamber is facilitated with a single door and a simple locking system. There is an electronically controlled heating system in place to ensure a uniform heating at 50 degrees centigrade. The machine is designed for optimum durability as it contains venturi of adequate capacity inside a robust cabinet. There are control buttons for heating, gas purging and power supply requirements.
-
Product exposed to warm and humid environment
The product is exposed to a warm and humid environment for about 12 hours. 70 percent RH and 55 A Cº is maintained for a uniform temperature and humidity.
-
Introduction of ETO gas
Now the vacuum is pulled and ETO gas is introduced at this stage. The exposure is for about 4 to 8 hours at the same RH and temperature as before.
-
Removal of ETO gas
Vacuum is continually pulled for the removal of ETO gas and air is introduced into the sterilization chamber to clear out the entire ETO gas. This process lasts for about 8 to 12 hours.

FAQ of Cath Lab Ethylene Oxide Gas Sterilizer
How does the Cath Lab ETO Sterilizer work?
The sterilization process typically involves three main stages:
- Pre-conditioning: The load is exposed to a warm and humid environment (approx. 55°C and 70% RH) for about 12 hours.
- Gas Exposure: Vacuum is applied, and ETO gas from single-use cartridges (40g, 100g, or 170g) is introduced for 4–8 hours.
- Aeration/Degassing: Residual ETO gas is removed through vacuum and air flushing for 8–12 hours to ensure safety.
The system supports both warm and cold cycles with in-built aeration.
What are the key features and benefits of this sterilizer?
Key features include:
- Easy operation with modular chamber construction
- Contact parts made of high-quality SS 304/316
