Mentor, Ohio-based Steris Isomedix Services is expanding its existing ethylene oxide sterilization facility in Temecula, Calif., to include small-volume processing.
The expansion will add four small ethylene oxide chambers of various sizes to the existing medium-sized chambers already in use at the Temecula facility. Temecula is in Southern California, near San Diego.
“With the addition of small-volume processing, we are better positioned to support the processing needs of both established medical device manufacturers and regional start up firms,” said Thad Wroblewski, vice president of sales for Steris Isomedix Services. “Not only are we able to offer customers a variety of chamber sizes, the new equipment includes specialty processing options such as low-temperature cycles, parametric release and EOExpress expedited processing.”
In addition to the new chambers, the facility also has updated its existing ethylene oxide processing equipment, including the boilers and chillers. The new chambers will be operational in early 2016, according to the company.
Steris Isomedix Services provides contract sterilization and laboratory services to healthcare firms, with 19 facilities located in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. The company uses gamma, ethylene oxide and steam sterilization for medical device, pharmaceutical and biotechnology customers.
