Sterilization plays a pivotal role in introducing products to market. It ensures that products are safe and free from harmful pathogens. EtO is one of the more common forms of sterilization due to its ability to reliably sterilize a wide variety of differing materials – from plastics to steel and beyond – while preserving product integrity. Although it is the most popular form of medical device sterilization, it does carry health hazards, and a wave of strenuous EtO sterilization regulations has altered its use across the medical device landscape in recent years.
Existing industry regulations were expanded to combat ethylene oxide’s potential adverse health and environmental impacts. These resulted in commercial sterilization facility shutdowns, leading to frustrating setbacks, costly delays, financial losses, and limited sterilization options for medical device companies. Considering the value EtO offers, a solution was necessary to get back on track: Small batch EtO sterilization with convenient quick-turnaround near you!
What is small batch ETO?
Small batch EtO is simply the process of sterilizing smaller quantities of devices. While larger volumes are sometimes necessary, small batch sterilization can bypass limited facility options or backlogs and get your products out to market where they need to be.
What are the benefits of small batch EtO?
Sterilizing smaller batches of devices offers many benefits. The primary benefit is that it uses less gas, resulting in:
- Reduced environmental impact
- Limited technician exposure
- Less oversight and regulation
Small batch EtO sterilization is a safer process and therefore ideal to mitigate EtO health and environmental concerns. And it can be the solution to your backlog issues.
LSO specializes in small batch EtO sterilization in our state-of-the-art 3M chambers. By working with smaller quantities, we can navigate the usage of EtO gas with reduced regulation and oversight. Our small-batch service at a facility near you not only provides a quick turnaround time for your medical devices, but it also spares you the inconvenience of waiting in line with larger contracted commercial sterilizers.
