Chlorine Dioxide Gas Sterilizer The Steridox-VP CD Sterilizers are designed for use in any pharmaceutical, manufacturing, laboratory, or research surgical setting. They provide a rapid and highly effective method to sterilize medical devices, sterile products, instruments, and components at ambient temperatures. The sterilizer utilizes a rugged industrial control system. It features a sophisticated sterilant concentration monitoring system to assure a tightly controlled sterilization process facilitating parametric release. All instrumentation, including the photometer for concentration monitoring, is easily calibrated to traceable standards. The process is easy to validate due to the repeatable cycle, tight process control, and highly accurate sterilant monitoring system. A run record is produced that contains: date, cycle time, cycle steps, as well as temperature, pressure, and chlorine dioxide concentration. The sterilizer is available in a variety of sizes to meet your processing needs. Automated sliding doors are available. The chamber and doors are constructed of 316L stainless steel to provide an exceptionally long life. The unit is enclosed in stainless steel, easily removable panels. The process is non-explosive allowing for inexpensive installations.

Sterilization at ambient temperatures Short cycle times Precise concentration monitoring Uses a true gas Excellent distribution into hard to reach areas Quick aeration (can literally be minutes) Gas concentration feedback to control system No down time between cycles Does not require tight control of dew point temperatures Does not condense out or breakdown during the process Extremely low residuals Rugged and reliable industrial components Quality construction Simple to validate Complete cycle automation Easy to use touch screen operator interface Detailed cycle reporting Recipe management Historical and real time trending No liquids in process Quick consumable replacement Rapid aeration when compared to ethylene oxide No concern for condensation as with hydrogen peroxide Non-carcinogenic Non-flammable No need for Damage Limiting Construction (DLC) Options Chamber Size Standard Sizes: 16” x 16” x 26”D, 20” x 20” x 38”D;26” x 26” x 39”D Custom sizes up to 1000 cubic feet Door Style Single or Double Power Operated Door Humidification Steam House Supplied or Integral with Sterilizer Fascia Recessed (flange) style or Cabinet style Rack/Loading options Multi-position Rack; Extendable Shelves; Single Shelf; Loading Car; Transfer Carriage Multi-process Optional units that can sterilize by either steam or CD are available
2.28.24 Setting up your SPD for Success: 8 Reasons to Own a Backup Autoclave → Steam is the most reliable and effective method for sterilizing medical equipment, and as a result, autoclaves are a fixture in almost every ASC’s sterilization setup. But, as is often the case, there are numerous situations in which ASCs find themselves without sufficient sterile processing capacity or a backup plan for when main units are […]
2.7.24 Consolidated Earns ACT Label, Highlighting Commitment to Sustainability → Have you ever wished that you could review an autoclave’s energy and water use, manufacturing impact, and packaging content similar to how you’d read a nutrition label at the grocery store? That’s the idea behind the ACT Environmental Impact Factor (EIF) label. Short for Accountability, Consistency, and Transparency, the ACT label demonstrates the environmental impact […]
7.12.23 Cordyceps Sterilization: How to Kill “The Last of Us” Parasite → In HBO’s recent adaptation of “The Last of Us,” a popular action-adventure video game, life as we know it is upended by a parasitic fungus that transforms its human hosts into zombies. The culprit? Cordyceps, a real-life genus of fungus which is best known for infecting insects (most famously ants) in much the same manner […]
