25mm*50mm Eo Gas Indicator Tape Medical Sterile Packaging Tape With Indicator

Product Specification

Eo Gas Indicator Tape EO Sterilizer Using Package Tape With Indicator

Ethylene oxide (EO) gas indicator tape is commonly used in the sterilization process of medical devices and equipment. Ethylene oxide is a highly effective sterilization agent that can penetrate various materials, making it suitable for sterilizing heat-sensitive items such as plastic, rubber, and electronic components. Indicator tapes are designed to provide a visual indication that an item has been exposed to the sterilization process.

The tape typically contains a chemical indicator that changes color when exposed to specific sterilization conditions, such as temperature and humidity. In the case of EO gas indicator tape, it reacts to the presence of ethylene oxide gas.

1. Sterilization Process: The packaged items are then placed in an EO sterilizer. Ethylene oxide gas is introduced into the chamber, and the conditions necessary for sterilization are maintained, including specific temperature, humidity, and exposure time.

2. Indicator Reaction: If the sterilization conditions are met, the chemical indicator on the tape reacts to the ethylene oxide gas, causing a visible change in color. This change indicates that the sterilization process has taken place.

3. Verification: After the sterilization cycle is complete, healthcare professionals can visually inspect the indicator tape to verify that the items have been exposed to the ethylene oxide gas and, therefore, sterilized.

Feature

1. For chemical montioring of EO sterlilzation to check whether the item has been sterlilzed,Fit for 100% EO and EO/HCFC gas mixture sterlilzer.
 

2. They are constructed from pressure semi-crepe paper which on one side is the adhesive glue and the other side is indicator strip are printed.

What is EtO tape?
Indicator Tape distinguishes between processed and unprocessed packages sterilized in Ethylene Oxide (EO|EtO) gas. The word “gas” changes from red to green after exposure to an EO sterilization cycle.

"EtO tape" typically refers to Ethylene Oxide (EtO) indicator tape. Ethylene oxide is a chemical sterilant commonly used in healthcare settings to sterilize heat-sensitive medical devices and equipment. Ethylene oxide is effective in penetrating materials like plastic, rubber, and electronics, making it suitable for sterilizing items that may be damaged by other sterilization methods such as steam.

EtO indicator tape is used to indicate whether a particular item or package has been exposed to the sterilization process using ethylene oxide gas. The tape contains a chemical indicator that reacts to the presence of ethylene oxide under specific conditions, such as temperature, humidity, and exposure time.

What is steam indicator tape used for?
For use as a process indicator to show that a pack has been exposed to the steam Sterilization process. Also serves to seal sterilization packs. Can be used on all disposable and reusable wraps.  

Using steam indicator tape is an important part of quality control in sterilization processes. It helps healthcare workers and laboratory staff ensure that instruments and equipment are effectively sterilized before use, reducing the risk of infections and maintaining a safe and sterile environment.
