for new, it's something to consider. Side note: EtO could extend the
life of your heat- or moisture-sensitive instruments because it's non-
corrosive to plastic, metal and rubber materials.
4. Call for backup. Why do we have 2 of each? In case 1 breaks
down, we won't miss a beat. If you rely heavily on an EtO sterilizer and
something happens to it, where do you go for back-up? When I started
here about 18 months ago, we only had 1 VHP sterilizer. When it broke
down, we had to run instruments back and forth to a surgery center a
couple cities away. Incredibly disruptive. No matter the size of your
facility, I encourage you to invest in a backup low-temp sterilizer —
even if it's a half-sized unit.
