Enhancing Ethylene Oxide Sterilization Processes With Mesa Labs PCD®

By Kurt McCauley, Mesa Laboratories

Mesa PCDs (Process Challenge Devices) are innovative, patented tools specifically engineered to support the rigorous demands of ethylene oxide (EO) sterilization processes. These devices incorporate either spore strip/disc biological indicators (BIs) or self-contained biological indicators (SCBIs), which offer a versatile solution for sterilization scientists. Their straightforward design, combined with a broad spectrum of resistance capabilities, makes them exceptionally effective in aiding process development, validation, and routine monitoring. By simulating the most challenging conditions within a sterilization load, Mesa PCDs provide reliable, reproducible results that enhance confidence in sterilization efficacy and compliance.

Whether you're refining a sterilization protocol or conducting routine quality assurance, Mesa PCDs offer the precision and reliability needed to meet regulatory standards and ensure patient safety.
