Topic 1:

Hazard and Chemical Safety to EtO Exposures

Unfortunately, EtO possesses several physical and health hazards that merit special attention. EtO is both flammable and highly reactive. Acute exposures to EtO gas may result in respiratory irritation and lung injury, headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, shortness of breath, and cyanosis.

Topic 2:

EtO Residual Limits as Required in ISO 10993-7

ISO 10993-7:2008 classified medical devices into several categories based generally on allowable limit of EtO residues.

​

First three general categories are;

​

1. Limited Exposure Devices.

2. Prolonged Exposure Devices​

3. Permanent Contact Devices

​

Beside these 3 categories, there are medical devices which will not or difficult to comply with the set allowable limit.

Topic 3:

EtO Residual Analysis in Medical Devices

Ethylene oxide residuals analysis is used to identify and qualify ethylene oxide, ethylene chlorohydrin and ethylene glycol by gas chromatography. The technique helps manufacturers demonstrate the safety of products sterilized by ethylene oxide by determining compliance with accepted residual limits.
