Sterilize Your Scopes with Low-Temp EtO
3M's GS series of Steri-Vac sterilizer/aerators deliver low-temperature ethylene oxide gas
(EtO) reprocessing efficiently and safely. Available with 4.8- or 7.9-cubic-foot chambers,
they utilize precise temperature and humidity controls to protect heat- and moisture-sen-
sitive instruments. Their single-use Steri-Gas cartridges are punctured only after the
chamber has been sealed and a vacuum has been achieved, and the system's software
ensures the door cannot be opened until the EtO has been fully evacuated. A color touch-
screen displays cycle information for easy monitoring, and an onboard computer records
the details of the past 100 cycles, which can be downloaded to a USB drive.
