Ethylene Oxide Chemical Indicator

EO chemical indicator is a type of monitoring device used to ensure the effectiveness of sterilization processes that use ethylene oxide gas. Ethylene oxide is a highly effective sterilant gas commonly used to sterilize medical devices and equipment that cannot withstand traditional high-temperature sterilization methods.

EO chemical indicators work by changing colour when exposed to ethylene oxide gas. This indicates that the gas has penetrated the package or container being sterilized, and therefore the sterilization process has been successful. EO chemical indicators are a crucial component of quality control in healthcare facilities and medical device manufacturing, as they help to ensure the safety and effectiveness of sterilized equipment.
