ultrasonic transponder high temperature/sterilize
ultrasonic transponder high temperature/sterilize
(OP)
Hi,
I'm currently doing a project which involves ultrasonic transponders which needs to be sterilized (134 C) and that are also small in size
So I'm searching for a ultrasonic transponder that can be sterilized or withstand such a high temperature.
Another thing, if such a transponder does not exist? how are such things normally sterilized?
I hope you guys can help me with this.
Regards,
Jay

RE: ultrasonic transponder high temperature/sterilize
As an old hospital engineer, I ran across this discussion many times. There are options besides autoclave. ETO gas sterilization is one that is pretty benign. There are also solutions of bleach, and lysol among others for a soak-type at room temperatures.
If your device can be potted or sealed, one of the soaks might do. If not, ETO might be the ticket. Best bet -- contact the Infection Control department at a trusted local hospital. Usually the medical director of such a department can provide good insight.

Yeah I've already contacted the hospital and they use 4 levels, cleaning by hand, ultrasonic, steam and ultraviolet
So the ultrasonic transponder must undergo these steps too.

Well I want to sterilize a ultrasonic transponder, however I cannot find one which can withstand that temperature.
So I was wondering how to do this
Hope this helps?
