Hydrogen peroxide low temperature plasma sterilizer related features

Advantages:

Rapid sterilization

H?O? decomposition, no exhaust time, fast turnover of goods

The final decomposition product is non-toxic (theoretically)

No installation requirements, no ventilation pipe

Disadvantages:

Poor penetration, there are instruments with strict lumen length, lumen size of the sterilization mechanism

For oxidation reaction, there are strict limitations on the material of instruments

Expensive

Costs

There is a need for a low temperature hydrogen peroxide plasma sterilizer. Limitations of sterilization mechanism

Oxidation reaction, strict limitations on the material of the instrument

Expensive

Absolute drying of the instrument during sterilization, no oiling

Toxicity of hydrogen peroxide, as well as the hazards of ultraviolet light generated during the plasma process

Items that can not be sterilized using plasma:

Any instrument with a blind end, Any device with dead endlumens

Cellulose based materials (i.e. cotton, paper, gauze)

Liquids

Items that do not meet the requirements for lumen length and lumen length. p>Items that do not meet thelumen/length criteria

Any organizing trays thatcontain cellulose based materials.

Count sheets (unless Tyvek/plastic)

Traditional adhesive labels (i.e. Dust Cover labels)

Any organizing trays thatcontain cellulose based materials. Monel copper-nickel alloy)

Any device or instrument that is not completely dry;

Any device with a blind-end lumen

Sterilization of any liquid;

Any oil, any powder;

Any liquid-absorbent material, or any device or instrument with liquid-absorbent material;

Any vegetable fiber material.

Any instrument or device made of any vegetable fiber material, such as cotton, cloth, paper, carbon, fiber, gauze, cotton balls, etc., containing wood pulp (cellulose);

Paper-based device catalogs or date labels;

Disposable instruments, single-use medical devices, and single-use medical supplies not recommended by the manufacturer for resterilization;

Implants (unless explicitly recommended by the manufacturer);

Implantable devices (unless explicitly recommended by the manufacturer). expressly recommends the use of the Sterrad® Sterilization System);

Any item with a nylon or nylon-originated material embedded surface;

Any instrument or device that cannot withstand a vacuum process, and any item labeled for sterilization only in a vented pressure steam sterilizer;

Any instrument or device that may have a collapsed surface that results in a Any instrument or device that may have surfaces that may collapse against each other, unless there is a special method to prevent this from occurring;

Any instrument or device that has internal components, such as closed bearings;

Any instrument or device that has lumen data that is within the limits of the lumen;

Item material limitations

Only items made of materials that meet the requirements for plasma sterilization may be sterilized by this method. method

Plasma sterilization can only be used if the device is approved by the device manufacturer

Expensive

Machine cost

Machine-related warranty parts

Operational use costs include the cost of cartridge packaging materials to monitor

Dedicated instruments

Tyvek bags (very expensive and few vendors available)

These can be used to sterilize devices or equipment within the lumen limitations. Tyvek bags (very expensive and few suppliers)

Nonwoven fabrics made of polypropylene
