3M™ Steri-Vac™ Sterilizer/Aerator GSX Series With 3M™ Cycle Programmer

Source: 3M Life Sciences

The 3M™ Steri-Vac™ Sterilizer/Aerator GSX Series is a new option for a safe and low-temperature sterilization that uses the 3M™ Cycle Programmer to improve turnaround times and reduce costs when compared to contract sterilization.

The 3M™ Steri-Vac™ Sterilizer/Aerator GSX Series is made up of ethylene oxide (EO) sterilizer/aerators designed to be used with single single-dose 3M™ Steri-Gas™ 100% EO Gas Cartridges when sterilizing devices in the medical, pharmaceutical, veterinary, laboratory and other non-healthcare markets. These self-contained sterilizer systems can automatically aerate the processed load in the sterilization chamber after a device is sterilized. Instead of requiring floor drains and bulk tanks of ethylene oxide, these sterilizers only need a power source, compressed air, and exhaust vent lines for operation.

Key GSX Series Features:

  • Available in GS5X and GS8X models
  • Requires minimal floor space
  • Free-standing, rack, or in-wall installation
  • Single-door or double-door configurations

Customized Cycles: 3M™ Cycle Programmer

The 3M™ Cycle Programmer is a software program that permits the development of uniquely tailored and optimized EO processes for specified products. The software is capable of programing 28 different parameters in eight of the 9 active stages of the EO sterilization process. Operation is handled on a personal computer where custom cycles can be created and imported to the GSX Series sterilizer through a USB drive.
