In hospitals and laboratories, where even a microscopic contaminant can endanger lives, sterilization is not just a procedure—it’s a promise. Every instrument, tool and medical device must meet the highest standard of cleanliness to ensure patient safety and research accuracy. Among the trusted technologies in sterilization today, Andersen’s breakthrough EO-Flexible Chamber Technology has earned a…
“EO sterilization has continued to advance since the ’60s and ’70s, and while there are still risks, updates to the delivery technology, EO’s materials compatibility, and penetration capabilities mean there are rewards to the modality that you should consider,” said Seth Hendee of Healthmark Industries, Inc. in his article Ethylene Oxide Risk vs Reward.
Never has peace of mind required so little investment. Andersen’s breakthrough technology is revolutionizing ethylene oxide (EO) sterilization. Equipped with flexible chamber technology, the newly released EOGas 4PLUS requires a fraction of the amount of ethylene oxide used by its rigid-chamber competitors. This modern-day approach to gas sterilization not only enhances efficiency but also ensures…
The American Journal of Infection Control published a study involving three major U.S. hospitals. The study explored the likelihood of endoscopy-related contamination after reprocessing. Nearly three out of four reusable medical endoscopes and duodenoscopes — deemed by the hospitals to have been reprocessed according to standard of care — tested positive for bacteria. Despite reprocessing…
Hospital-acquired infections (HAI) are some of the most serious — and preventable — risks patients face when undergoing inpatient medical care. Every year, millions of people around the world contract infections during hospital stays, many of which lead to longer recoveries, increased medical costs, or worse. But here’s the good news: one of the most…
