A sterilization company has cut manufacture-to-market time for medical products from two weeks to two days by taking extra care in monitoring operations. For example, just making sure every sterilization cycle is the same lets the company meet stringent FDA requirements without the usual week-long germ-kill verification tests.
A new self-contained “protection package” that senses dangerous
concentrations of toxic or explosive gases, then automatically turns on its own
warning lights and horns has been introduced by Sensor Electronics of
Minneapolis.
This unitized “protection package” mounts anywhere, plugs into any
convenient 110-volt outlet, then goes to work. If protection needs change, the
unit can be quickly and easily moved to a new location.
A new sophisticated new gas analyzer that measures carbon dioxide (CO2) under
pressure extremes has been developed by Sensor Electronics of Minneapolis.
CO2 dilutes explosive concentrations of ethylene oxide (EtO) in, for example, medical
equipment sterilizers and research laboratories. (EtO is both toxic and extremely
flammable.)
A new sensor called the SEC 3000 can detect dangerous levels of tungsten
hexafluoride – WF6 – has been developed by Sensor Electronics of Minneapolis.
The highly toxic gas is widely used on semiconductor lines, electronics
production, R&D laboratories and similar applications.
The factory-tuned unit gives immediate real-time readout of tungsten
hexafluoride levels over a 0-10 PPM range.
By precisely monitoring operating parameters, a contract-sterilization company has cut
manufacture-to-market time from two weeks to two days for its medical product customers. (www.gasesmag.com)
Careful monitoring and reporting of carbon monoxide assures plant safety and saves money. (This article appeared in the September/October 2008 issue of Gases & Instrumentation, www.gasesmag.com)
Engineered for semiconductor production areas where toxic gases like tungsten hexafluoride and
dichlorosilane are an ever-present danger, this new sensor/transmitter team reacts instantly to dangerous gas
levels. The factory-tuned sensor works in tandem with its digital transmitter, which incorporates a plug-in memory
stick.
A new dual-gas – EtO plus H2O – sensor has earned CSA Approval for
hazardous applications.
Manufactured by Sensor Electronics of Minneapolis, this explosion
proof sensor gives precise readouts of both gases simultaneously.
The new DIN controller works with sensors that monitor close to 100
toxic, flammable or explosive gases – such as chlorine, ammonia, carbon
monoxide plus virtually all hydrocarbons. |
