Knowledge-Based Company in Iran Produces Electroplasma Sterilizer Device
“This device sterilizes and disinfects medical equipment with its safe and secure operation. It also reduces the microbial load of food, increases shelf life and eliminates toxins in food,” Amir Hossein Zarif, the managing director of the knowledge-based company, told ANA.
He added that the electroplasma sterilizer device in medical centers uses hydrogen peroxide steam along with the pre-vacuum phase in the sterilizer for the low temperature sterilization process, noting, “This device works by using oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen plasma.”
Zarif stated that the device performs sterilization by using hydrogen peroxide steam, adding that the vacuum and plasma help better sterilization.
“In this method, first the equipment is placed inside the chamber and the vacuum pump starts working. After reaching a stage close to complete vacuum, the hydrogen peroxide vapor penetrates into the injection chamber and into all parts of the chamber. Hydrogen peroxide enjoys the capability of killing microorganisms like bacteria, fungi and parasites,” he added.
Zarif underlined that the laboratory, semi-industrial and industrial sample of the product has been produced and it is now in the process of obtaining a license and presentation to the market.
Also, earlier this year, building a device for disinfection of hospital equipment without creating toxic substances and unpleasant odors was the achievement of a group of researchers in an Iranian knowledge-based company.
A knowledge-based company in Iran produced a disinfection device for hospital equipment which works at a high speed, low temperature, and in completely dry conditions without causing unpleasant odors, according to the information center of the Iranian Vice-Presidency for Science, Technology and Knowledge-Based Economy.
This device uses a separate cartridge for each sterile cycle which reduces the wastage of hydrogen peroxide in case of an incomplete cycle.
Water vapor and oxygen remain after the device completes the sterile process which are completely compatible with the environment and do not harm users and patients.
The process of sterilizing by the device is highly fast and there is no need for initial preparation, which significantly speeds up the workflow in hospitals and medical centers.
