Hi

Does anyone have standards or can give me the minimum time that you can aerate a aneasethic camera after ETO sterilisation.

Thank you for your help

As a general guideline, you must take 3 days aeration by 45 - 50 °C for all the products which are sterilized by ETO. Even when the product is not in direct contact with the patient. Nearly every product, except stainless steel, absorbs ETO during the sterilization process. Not only the patient must be protect against ETO, also the OR personnel.
