H2O2 Low Temperature Plasma Sterilizer | Hydrogen Peroxide Gas Sterilization
Introduction to H2O2 Low Temperature Plasma Sterilizer
The H2O2 Low Temperature Plasma Sterilizer is a cutting-edge system utilizing hydrogen peroxide vapor and plasma to achieve rapid and safe sterilization of heat- and moisture-sensitive medical devices. Operating at temperatures between 40°C and 60°C, it is an ideal alternative to ETO and steam for complex instruments, especially those with narrow lumens and electronic components. The process is residue-free, breaking down the hydrogen peroxide into harmless water vapor and oxygen at the end of the cycle, offering a highly efficient and environmentally conscious sterilization solution for modern healthcare facilities.
Working Principle and Process Flow for H2O2 Low Temperature Plasma Sterilizer
The H2O2 Plasma sterilization process involves several stages: first, a vacuum is created in the chamber, and liquid hydrogen peroxide is vaporized and injected. The H2O2 vapor diffuses and interacts with the load, killing microorganisms. Next, a strong electromagnetic or radiofrequency field is introduced, converting the vapor into a plasma state. The plasma generates free radicals (e.g., hydroxyl and hydroperoxyl) that rapidly destroy remaining pathogens. The process concludes with the chamber returning to atmospheric pressure, leaving no toxic residue, enabling instruments to be used immediately.
Models of H2O2 Low Temperature Plasma Sterilizers
- Small Capacity Plasma Sterilizers :- Compact units for clinics and operating rooms with lower throughput needs.
- Large Chamber Plasma Sterilizers :- High-volume systems suitable for hospital Central Sterile Services Departments (CSSD).
- Rapid Cycle Plasma Sterilizers :- Optimized for instruments requiring the fastest possible turnaround time between surgeries.
- Dual-Function Plasma Systems :- Units offering both standard and enhanced lumen cycles for various instrument types.
Key Features of H2O2 Low Temperature Plasma Sterilizer
- Extremely Fast Cycle Times :- Enables surgical instruments to be ready for use quickly, improving operating room efficiency.
- No Toxic Residues :- The sterilant breaks down into non-toxic byproducts (water and oxygen), eliminating the need for aeration.
- Excellent Material Compatibility :- Safely sterilizes instruments made of heat-sensitive materials like polymers, rigid scopes, and sensitive electronics.
- Advanced Monitoring and Safety :- Features automated process controls, self-diagnostics, and minimal operator exposure risk.
Applications of H2O2 Low Temperature Plasma Sterilizer
- Sterilization of rigid and flexible endoscopes, including expensive fiber optic cables and imaging equipment.

Maintenance and Safety Tips
- Ensure all items are thoroughly cleaned and completely dry before placing them into the plasma sterilizer, as moisture can compromise the H2O2 process.
- Only use packaging materials specifically validated and labeled for hydrogen peroxide plasma sterilization, typically non-cellulose packaging.
- Routinely check the integrity and seal of the H2O2 sterilant cassettes or containers as per manufacturer guidelines.
- Perform periodic maintenance checks on the vacuum pump and plasma generator components to maintain optimal cycle performance.
- Never sterilize materials containing cellulose (like cotton or paper wraps) as they absorb the H2O2 and prevent effective sterilization.
