Tech/Engineering - Medical: Instruments | | German term or phrase: Begasung | Die sterilfiltrierte Monomerkomponente liegt in einer Braunglas-Ampulle vor, die in einem Blister durch Begasung mit Ethylenoxid steril verpackt ist.
Doest it mean that the blister is filled with the ethylene oxide gas?
TIA! |
| | Clarification request(s) and responseJianming: 10:04am Mar 28, 2006: Thank you Brie! - Do you mean the monomer component is firstly packed in a blister and then the blister is gassed with ethylene oxide for sterilization? Thank you again!

| | gassing | Explanation:
No, Jianming, the blister is pre-filled with normal air and is simply used as packing material to ensure that the ampoule doesn't break during shipping/handling. The entire package (blister and ampoule) is presumably placed into a sterilizer (sterilization chamber) and gassed with EtO so that it can't contaminate anything else it comes into contact with later, e.g. in a clean room.

As Erich points out below, a better term would be "fumigation"

Hello Jianming, as I understand it, the component is sealed in a brown glas ampoule. The ampoule is the packed in blister wrap. The blister wrap and the ampoule are fumigated with EtO for sterilization. |
