The EOGas 4 is FDA-cleared

EOGas 4

Fastest Turnaround

The only sterilization system cleared by FDA 510(k) for terminal sterilization of duodenoscopes & colonoscopes.

Andersen’s FDA-cleared, temperature-controlled EOGas 4 features four cycles with active aeration in the same cabinet – the fastest being just 3.5 hours, including aeration. All in a convenient tabletop format.

Description

3.5-Hour Sterilization

Achieves FDA-required 10-6 sterility assurance level for terminal sterilization of medical devices.

Easy Installation

Requires only a 120v or 240v outlet and a 1″ dedicated exhaust line.

Lock Mechanism

Door automatically locks at the start of the cycle and unlocks at the end.

Active Aeration in Same Chamber

Purge probe flushes the liner bag with a constant flow of fresh air at the end of the cycle – no need to transfer items to a separate area. EO-absorbent items may require additional aeration.

17.6g EO Cartridge

Terminal sterility with 90% less EO than any other system on the market. Cartridge protects the hermetically sealed glass EO ampoule from accidental activation.

Make your System Zero Emissions

Andersen abators are a simple, cartridge-based system that employ a dry catalyst resin that converts ethylene oxide to biodegradable organic compounds. Replaceable abator cartridge has a 200 cycle capacity. Spent cartridges are non-hazardous.

Free Operator Training

It’s like having a sterilization expert on staff! Free operator training for the life of your sterilizer and free 24/7 support.

EOGas 4

Simplified Controls

Easy to use two-button interface and digital display. Sterilization status and cabinet temperature shown throughout the cycle.

Controlled Environment

Warm air circulates throughout the chamber walls to maintain a constant temperature – ensuring effective sterilization and aeration.

Process Challenge Device

Built into the purge probe handle to ensure the 10-6 biological indicator is consistently placed in the most difficult location for EO to reach in every cycle – providing data driven results, regardless of the operator.

Unmatched Sterilization Compatibility

Temperature-controlled cabinet sterilizes at low temperature without external vacuum lines or steam generator. Protects your most delicate instruments, electronics, drills, fiber optics, hand pieces and cameras. As well as those plastic, fabric, cellulose or rubber items that you can’t sterilize with other methods. Most any item with the exception of food, drugs or liquids.

Shelf Life

The FDA has cleared EOGas 4 sterilization loads wrapped with Sterisheet® or Tyvek® Sterilization Pouches with Chevron Seal – both have a shelf life of at least three months.
