FEATURES OF ASP STERRAD 100S
The Sterrad 100S system is a multipurpose sterilizer intended for sterile processing departments and operating rooms in hospitals and other medical centers. The system employs advanced Sterrad technology, a hydrogen peroxide gas plasma process, to achieve at least a 10-6 sterility assurance level in a 55-minute cycle. The system can sterilize various types of medical instruments and equipment, with the exception of liquids, cellulosic materials (paper, linen, cotton, etc.), and medical instruments with restrictive labeling. The Sterrad 100S system is designed to be independent and self-contained, with no connections other than a power cord. It is also equipped with casters, allowing it to be easily moved from one location to another. Additionally, the system has adjustable feet on the front of the unit to allow for leveling, if necessary.

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE ASP STERRAD 100S
The STERRAD 100S system has been a pioneer in low-temperature sterilization for nearly twenty years. Recognized for its proven performance, the STERRAD 100S system is your cost-effective choice for low-temperature dry sterilization.
Security
- Low-temperature gas plasma effectively removes hydrogen peroxide residues from materials and devices, and the process byproducts are non-toxic oxygen and water vapor.
Simplicity
- Ease of use: one-button operation
- No expensive plumbing, ventilation or monitoring installations required
Compatibility
- Claims proven for a wide range of materials and lumens
- Capable of sterilizing rigid and flexible endoscopes, cameras, light cables, batteries, lenses, probes and microsurgical and general surgery instruments
The STERRAD 100S sterilizer is a hydrogen peroxide gas plasma sterilizer that provides an environment sufficiently lethal to microorganisms to produce at least a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10-6 for devices within the label claims. The STERRAD 100 S sterilizer has two separate peroxide/plasma injection stages, rather than one, in the sterilization cycle.
The STERRAD 100 S sterilizer process has four distinct phases
- Phase 1: Vacuum. This is an air plasma preconditioning stage.
- Phase 2. Sterilization A. Injection, diffusion and plasma stages
- Phase 3. Sterilization B. Injection, diffusion and plasma stages
- Phase 4. Ventilation. A final vent to return the chamber to atmospheric pressure.
This multi-stage cycle reliably processes sterile medical devices without toxic residues. The devices are then safe for immediate use or suitable for storage and future use. The equipment features built-in safeguards to ensure the completion of each cycle at all stages.
Phase 1 – Vacuum Preconditioning
First Step
The vacuum phase is the first stage of the sterilization process. The chamber pressure is pumped up to 700 mTorr, and then the plasma is ignited.
Segundo Paso
El plasma permanece encendido a una presión controlada de 500 mTorr durante 10 minutos para el ciclo corto o 15 minutos para el ciclo largo. Esto acondiciona la carga para su posterior esterilización. Este plasma de aire es para ayudar a remover cualquier humedad residual sobre o dentro de la carga, acelerando la vaporización del agua y permitiendo que sea removida de la cámara por la bomba de vacío. La válvula de ventilación se abre después de la condición de plasma. Finalmente, la presión de la cámara es bombeada hasta 400 mTorr antes de pasar a la etapa de inyección.
Tercer Paso
Al final de los 15 minutos, la cámara se ventila a la presión atmosférica con aire filtrado.
Cuarto Paso
Una vez que la cámara alcanza la presión atmosférica, se produce una reducción de la presión en la cámara de 760 Torr (presión atmosférica) a 0,4 Torr mediante el uso de una bomba de vacío.
Fase 2 – Esterilización A
Primer Paso
Cuando la cámara ha alcanzado la presión de 0,4 Torr, o menos, se inyectan en la cámara de esterilización aproximadamente 1800 ml de una solución nominal de peróxido de hidrógeno al 59%. La inyección se realiza mediante agujas inyectoras que perforan una ampolla que contiene peróxido de hidrógeno en un casete. Cada casete contiene suficientes ampollas para cinco ciclos completos de esterilización. La colocación del casete y la inyección están automatizadas y supervisadas por el software para garantizar que la inyección se lleve a cabo. Este paso dura 6 minutos.
Segundo Paso
Al final de los 6 minutos, la cámara se ventila a presión atmosférica con aire filtrado y se mantiene durante 2 minutos (ciclo corto) o 10 minutos (ciclo largo). La adición de aire filtrado a la cámara comprime aún más el peróxido de hidrógeno, conduciéndolo hacia los lúmenes y otros mecanismos intrincados que se encuentran en o sobre muchos dispositivos médicos.
Tercer Paso
Después de que la cámara se haya mantenido a presión atmosférica durante dos minutos, se produce una reducción de la presión en la cámara de 760 Torr (presión atmosférica) a 0,5 Torr mediante el uso de una bomba de vacío.
Cuarto Paso
Durante el paso de plasma del ciclo, la energía de RF aplicada durante dos minutos a través de los electrodos produce una serie de reacciones en el vapor de peróxido de hidrógeno a baja presión en la cámara. Esto conduce a la generación y aceleración de partículas cargadas y a la generación de radicales libres y otras especies químicas reactivas. Esta acción potencia la descomposición del peróxido de hidrógeno que se ha añadido a la cámara.
Quinto Paso
Al finalizar la fase de plasma, se reduce la presión en la cámara de 0,5 Torr a 0,4 Torr mediante el uso de una bomba de vacío.
Fase 3 – Esterilización B
Esta es una repetición de la fase de esterilización A, excluyendo el paso final.
Fase 4 – Ventilación
At the end of the plasma flow, the chamber pressure is returned to atmospheric pressure by venting with filtered air. This concludes the process, and the instruments are ready to be removed for use or storage.

Soma Tech Intl offers the ASP STERRAD 100S sterilization system at up to 50% below the original retail price with the same service and warranty as new. The Sterrad 100S is not only technically reconditioned, but also cosmetically reconditioned to work and look like new. When the Sterrad 100S reconditioning process begins, it is carefully inspected and tested by our own biomedical engineers who are certified to work with sterilizers. If necessary, parts are replaced to ensure that all aspects of the Sterrad 100S are functioning effectively. Once everything is in working order, the unit is calibrated to the original manufacturer’s specifications. This ensures that the unit is performing as it did when it originally left the manufacturer. After the machine is functioning like new, it undergoes a special cosmetic restoration process. It is cleaned, minor scratches and dents are repaired, and decals are repainted, if necessary. Soma Tech Intl is ISO 13485 certified and ensures the highest quality in all the medical equipment they sell. Before the Sterrad 100S is labeled as patient-ready and packaged for shipment, it undergoes a final quality control test to ensure all aspects are functioning as expected.
