The SterileRight Sterilization Pouch and Roll are intended to provide health care workers with an effective method to enclose devices intended for sterilization in the Steam or via Ethylene Oxide (EO). The recommended sterilization cycles are as follows: - · Gravity steam at 121°C (250°F) for 30 minutes; Drying time of 25 minutes. - · Pre-vacuum steam at 132°C (270°F) for 4 minutes; Drying time of 20 minutes. - · Ethylene Oxide (EO) with a concentration of 735 mg/L at 55°C (131°F) and 50% to 80% relative humidity for 60 minutes. Aeration time of 8 hours at 60°C (140°F). The SterileRight provides the sterilization pouch and roll made with Paper/Film or Tyvek®/Film. The SterileRight sterilization pouch and roll which are made with Paper maintains the sterility of the enclosed devices for up to 6 months post Steam or EO gas sterilization, and before sterilization has a maximum shelf life of 3 years from the date of manufacture. The pouch's external chemical ink indicators are designed to indicate to the user that the pouch has undergone either a steam or EO sterilization process. The SterileRight sterilization pouch and roll which are made with Tyvek® is for EO gas sterilization only. It also maintains the sterility of the enclosed devices for up to 6 months post EO gas sterilization, and before sterilization has a maximum shelf life of 3 years from the date of manufacture.

The medical devices are inserted into the Sterilization Pouch/Roll, sealed, and then sterilized in the Sterilization System. After completion of the sterilization process, the Pouch/Roll maintains the sterility of the enclosed medical devices until the seal is opened. The device is intended to allow sterilization of enclosed devices and also to maintain sterility of the enclosed devices until used up to 6 months post Steam or EO gas sterilization. The Self-seal pouch permits the sealing of the pouch without the need of heat-sealing equipment, while the heat-sealed pouches and rolls are heat-sealed prior to processing in the steam/or EO Sterilization. The chemical indicators ink printed on the "medical grade paper" will exhibit a color change after the pouch is exposed to steam or ethylene oxide gas. The color of the Chemical Indicator changes from Pink to Brown/Black when exposed to Steam. And the color changes from Blue to Yellow/Brown, when exposed to EO gas. The Chemical Indicator offers an additional way to verify processing in the sterilization cycle. The Chemical Indicator should be used in addition to, not in place of, the biological indicator. The Chemical Indicators do not signify sterilization; they only indicate that the indicator has been exposed to Steam/or EO gas. The SterileRight sterilization pouch and roll made with Tyvek® is for EO gas sterilization only. It also maintains the sterility of the enclosed devices for up to 6 months post EO gas sterilization.
