AdvaMed cites EPA’s own impact assessment to push back against ethylene oxide proposals, May 12, 2023

The SterileWave endoscope product line precludes the need for ethylene oxide, radiation, or any other chemical or method of sterilizing endoscopic instruments.  The SterileWave endoscope is single-use.  Perform the surgical procedure and discard.  This eliminates the harsh chemicals, the labor, the training, the sterilization equipment and all the associated costs, all for a higher resolution image.  EPA inspections and carryover infections leading to legal challenges are no longer necessary when it comes to laparoscopic procedures in the OR.
