THE MOST EFFECTIVE and SAFE SOLUTION for Lumened Instrument Sterilization
A NEW ERA IN STERILIZATION HAS BEGUN!
NO "Diameter and Length" LIMITATIONS under FULL LOAD for All Types of "Lumened Instruments".
(Ø 2 mm Internal Diameter, Minimum 15 m Length)
HdrOzone sterilization system is designed for the safe sterilization of heat- and moisture-sensitive medical instruments, plastics, lumened devices, electromechanical surgical equipment, as well as complex and long-lumen devices such as single- and multi-channel flexible endoscopes.
It can be safely used for the sterilization of long and complex endoscopes, as well as multi-channel flexible lumen endoscopes with up to 4 channels and 4.5 m length. It has verified sterilization capability for lumens down to Ø 2 mm in diameter and up to 15 meters in length.
HdrOzone sterilization device is a low-temperature (37°C–45°C) dual-sterilant sterilization system using [Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) and Ozone (O3)] with cold plasma capability.
HdrOzone: Safe Sterilization Process
HdrOzone sterilization features vacuum-based gas sterilization technology. It eliminates the lumen, diameter, and length restrictions common to standard hydrogen peroxide sterilizers.
It delivers significantly higher efficacy for complex lumened instruments compared to conventional H2O2 plasma systems. Beyond chemical-reaction sterilization, the system generates highly active hydroxyl radicals, heavy molecules, and plasma activity. It exhibits the gas-phase sterilization characteristics of techniques such as EO. It does not cause corrosion or leave toxic residues on sterilized products.
Operating with a 58%–60% Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) solution and Medical-Grade Oxygen, the intelligent program design synergizes Ozone and H2O2 to achieve maximum sterilization efficacy at minimum active dosages.
HdrOzone Operating Principle: Sterilization is driven by the combined dynamic effect of H2O2, O3, and HYDRONIUM (HO3, HO4, H2O3, H2O4, HO5, OOH, H3O, etc.) heavy molecules, radicals, hydroxyls, and active ions.
HdrOzone Thanks to advanced process engineering, items processed in the sterilization device require no post-sterilization aeration and are immediately ready for use. Byproducts consist strictly of water vapor and oxygen, ensuring complete safety for healthcare personnel, patients, and the environment.
HdrOzone sterilization system uses pre-programmed, automated sterilization cycles that minimize human error. Unlike standard hydrogen peroxide sterilizers, there is no need to manually sort instruments or select complex specific cycles. Mixed loading (combining endoscopes with other materials) can be processed together, maximizing throughput while reducing sorting labor and operational costs. HdrOzone minimize cycle expenses, ensuring low operational costs. HdrOzone is effective against biofilms, microcracks, enclosed spaces, optics, and organic residues in lumened instruments.
The wide touchscreen display provides simple and fast operation with language selection and pre-defined program options for sterilization.
Complies with ISO 14937 standards.
Packaging characteristics: synthetic, cellulose-free materials such as polypropylene or Tyvek®; fabric, cellulose/paper, liquid sterilization, natural rubber, etc. are not suitable for this sterilization method.
HdrOzone heavy-molecule sterilization device operates using the Hydronium technique. The HdrOzone Device can also be used as a hydrogen peroxide sterilization device via dedicated H2O2 sterilizer function programs.
HdrOzone® Sterilization Device Operating Principle
The sterilization process is completed in 8 successive stages.
After the chamber temperature reaches the selected value:
- Vacuum phase: The sterilization chamber is evacuated to -600 to -900 mBar vacuum.
- Injection phase: Vaporization of the 58%–60% H2O2 concentration and injection into the sterilization chamber.
- Diffusion phase: Diffusion of hydrogen peroxide to the materials to be sterilized in the chamber.
- Oxygen is introduced into the system, converted to ozone, and delivered into the chamber.
- Hydrogen peroxide and ozone diffuse to the materials to be sterilized in the chamber.
- ADSORPTION of hydronium and heavy molecules for sterilization.
- Dilution of hydrogen peroxide in the sterilization chamber.
- Plasma phase: HRF COLD PLASMA is generated in the sterilization chamber under an atmospheric vacuum of -300 to -700 mBar.
- Ventilation-Aeration phase: The sterilization chamber returns to normal atmospheric pressure.
- Provides simple and fast operation through language selection and pre-defined program options on the wide touchscreen.
- In addition to its superior features, the HdrOzone Sterilization Device can also operate independently as a Hydrogen Peroxide Sterilization Plasma Device.
- There are 5 programs in total: 2 HdrOzone Heavy-Lumen Programs and 3 H2O2 Programs.
- In addition, a Half Cycle Validation Program is available on the validation page. The user interface is simple.
