On the subject of Sterox. From the CyclOPSS web pages I submit the following: Timely and effective sterilization of medical instruments and devices is of paramount importance to hospitals and to manufacturers of medical products. Several methods of sterilization exist, all with their own advantages and drawbacks. Steam can be used to sterilize some instruments, but not all devices and materials are able to withstand the extremely high temperatures and pressures associated with steam. Radiation sterilization can be used by some medical device manufacturers, but materials compatibility remains an issue and radiation cannot be effectively used by individual hospitals. Other sterilization technologies using peracetic acid, vapor phase hydrogen peroxide, hydrogen peroxide plasma, and formaldehyde liquids have proven costly and difficult to use in a wide variety of settings. The old standard for gas sterilization - ethylene oxide - has been under increasing scrutiny in both hospital and manufacturing settings. Ethylene oxide itself is a chemical hazardous to human health, and traditional ethylene oxide sterilization methods are harmful to the environment. Many sterilants kill microorganisms by oxidation. Ozone is one of the most powerful oxidizing agents known, but its sterilization potential has never been fully realized because ozone turns into oxygen quickly and is therefore impractical to store. Cyclo3pss Medical Systems has developed ozone generating technology that is both small and highly efficient. This technology allows the development of ozone sterilizers that are compact, easy to operate and cost effective in both hospital and manufacturing settings. Ozone sterilization is also environmentally responsible. No toxic chemicals are purchased for use in the sterilizer and no harmful emissions result from the process. All that is needed is oxygen, electricity and a small amount of water. An ozone generator located inside the machine converts the oxygen into ozone during sterilization. After sterilization is complete, the ozone is converted back into oxygen before it is released into the environment. In Cyclo3pss sterilizers, patented processes control the generation of ozone and its delivery to the devices to be sterilized. The first Cyclo3pss sterilizer, the Ster-O3-ZoneTM 100, has been submitted for marketing clearance by the United States Food and Drug Administration and is expected to make its hospital debut under the Investigational Device Exemptions Regulation. NOTE: The Ster-O3-ZoneTM 100 is an investigational device and is limited by federal law to investigational use.
