⢠1340C 5min
⢠Open instruments
⢠Laparoscopic instruments
⢠Modern telescopes
⢠Long channels
Flash sterilization â
⢠Not a replacement
⢠Do not pack instruments
7. ETHYLENE OXIDE (ETO)
⢠Sterilizant for moisture and heat sensitive instruments
⢠Gas concentration (450 to 1200 mg/l)
⢠Temperature (37 to 63°C)
⢠Relative humidity (40 to 80%)
⢠Exposure time (1 to 6 hours)
⢠Plastic wrapped stuff
⢠Long channels
⢠Problem â
⢠Flammable
⢠Environmental pollution
⢠Neurotoxic and carcinogenic

13. FORMALIN CHAMBER
⢠No standardization
⢠How many pills? May be 10-15 tabs
⢠How frequent changes? May be 7-10 days
⢠How much time? At least 24hrs for disinfection, 96hrs for sterilization
⢠Penetration into lumens â uniformly poor
⢠Pulmonary toxicity
⢠carcinogenicity

33. Conclusion
⢠Instrument mechanical cleaning is A MUST (not an option)
⢠Never forget to FLUSH and BRUSH the channel
⢠Sterilization and HLD is not a substitute of mechanical cleaning
⢠Do not cut corners in immersion time
