Hospital ETO Sterilizer Use Case
ETO Sterilizer for Hospitals and CSSD Departments
Hospital CSSD departments process a wide range of instruments, including heat- and moisture-sensitive items that cannot be steam autoclaved.
The challenge
Hospital CSSD departments process a wide range of instruments, including heat- and moisture-sensitive items that cannot be steam autoclaved.
Why SSQ fits this application
ETO sterilization operates at low temperature, making it suitable for many heat-sensitive medical devices handled in central sterile supply departments.
PurETO+ supports hospital and higher-throughput CSSD workflows, while PurETO Elica supports compact or lower-volume EO gas setups.
