Without proper sterilization, patients face life-threatening infections from instruments that should protect them. Medical device sterilization is not a single process but a…
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…
EOGas 4PLUS is the perfect complement to any infection control strategy. This state-of-the-art system, featuring award-winning EO-FCT, uses just a microdose of EO to achieve terminal sterilization. This is EO sterilization reimagined.

Sterilization is an essential process in many industries, especially in healthcare, veterinary medicine, and manufacturing, to ensure the safety of equipment, tools, and products. One of the most effective sterilization methods for delicate and complex items is ethylene oxide sterilization (EO sterilization). Ethylene oxide is a colorless sterilant with strong antimicrobial properties, capable of eliminating…
Key methods of terminal sterilization play a crucial role in ensuring the safety and effectiveness of medical and industrial products. Understanding these methods is essential for professionals involved in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing, as they are responsible for maintaining the sterility of items that come into contact with patients or critical processes. From steam sterilization…
