STERILIZATION OF MEDICAL DEVICES
WITH IONIZING RADIATION
Beamcomplex manufactures compact complexes with electron accelerators for medical device sterilization. Such complexes have been designed for installation in hospitals, medical sterilization centers and medical manufacturing plants to sterilize syringes, blood transfusion systems, endoprostheses and much more.
See Trends in Sterilization (IAEA).
BEAMCOMPLEX EQUIPMENT FOR MEDICAL DEVICE STERILIZATION
Our company specializes in the production of complexes with electron accelerators for medical device sterilization with ionizing radiation (E-beam and X-Ray).

Due to the fact that our equipment is seamlessly integrated into any manufacturing process, it can also be installed at any operating facilities. During installation, the complex’s conveyor is connected with a customer’s conveyor system. The complex is installed without plant shutdown.
IONIZING RADIATION TECHNOLOGY FOR MEDICAL DEVICE STERILIZATION


Electron accelerators use high energy of electrons and X-Ray as a method of sterilization. Electron accelerators generate and accelerate electrons that penetrate the product and sterilize all internal and external surfaces of medical products and packaging.
Products can be treated in tightly sealed packaging, which prevents them from recontamination.
E-beam and X-Ray treatment of materials and products is environmentally friendly technology as it uses only electricity.

STERILIZATION COMPLEXES

THROUGHPUT AND POWER CONSUMPITON

APPLICATIONS
The electron accelerator installed in a complex generates E-beam or X-Ray that pass through a packaging and sterilize medical devices.

There are 3 options of medical device sterilization:
  1. Sterilization of surfaces of individually packed medical devices (for example, implants) with E-beam.
  2. Sterilization of both external surfaces and internal cavities of individually packed medical devices (for example, syringes) with E-beam.
  3. Sterilization of a large number of boxed products with X-Ray.
STERILIZATION COMPLEX FOR BOXED MEDICAL DEVICES
Location
Medical device plants and sterilization centers

Purpose
Processing in boxes with the dimensions up to 500mm x 500mm x 500mm;
Treatment can be done in X-Ray and E-beam modes;
High processing speed: up to 14400 kg/hr in E-beam mode, 720 kg/hr in X-Ray mode.

Minimum dimensions:
2.3m X 2.3 m X 2.3m (metal radiation shield).
ON-SITE INSTALLATION OPTIONS
  • Installation of the complex in metal radiation shield.
  • Installation of the complex in casing which is the basis for concrete radiation shield.
  • Installation of the electron accelerator in a bunker underground so that a conveyor system with the products comes to the surface.

ADVANTAGES

ADVANTAGES OF MEDICAL DEVICES STERILIZATION USING COMPLEXES WITH ELECTRON ACCELERATORS

Complete elimination of all pathogens, viruses and bacteria.

The only sterilization method that enables to sterilize products in all types of tightly sealed packaging made of any materials.

Guarantee of sterility for products in tightly sealed packaging for the entire shelf life.
The structure of polymers and other materials does not change when sterilized with accelerated electrons.
The fastest sterilization method.

ADVANTAGES OF HAVING COMPLEXES ON SITE

Quality control

Complete control over the sterilization process ensures products quality.

Independence

In-house complex provides independence from third party sterilization service providers, which is extremely important in case of emergency situations, such as pandemic.

Containment
Placing the complex directly at production facilities enables to avoid additional expenses for transportation of products and materials to third party sterilization facilities. No need for spending time and money for loading/unloading.

ADVANTAGES OF IONIZING RADIATION TREATMENT OF PRODUCTS COMPARED TO GAS FUMIGATION

  • High Speed
    Sterilization by gas fumigation is a long process. Sterilization of medical products by ionizing radiation ensures high processing speed (sterilization time for 1 box with 100 syringes is 5 seconds).
    1
  • 100% Sterility Guarantee
    Sterilization with ionizing radiation guarantees 100% sterilization.
    2
  • Any Packaging
    Sterilization by gas fumigation requires imported expensive gas-permeable packaging. Sterilization of medical devices by ionizing radiation is carried out in any locally produced packaging.
    3
  • Any Product
    Not all types of products can be sterilized using gas fumigation. When using ionizing radiation, there are no such limitations, i.e. any types of products made of any material can be processed. It enables to process products made of new polymeric materials thus expanding the segment of processed products.
    4
  • No Supply-Related Risks
    Fumigation gas is imported, which creates risks if supply chains are disrupted. The ionizing radiation in our equipment is generated exclusively by electricity.
    5
  • Eco-Friendly
    After sterilization, the fumigation gas is released into the atmosphere, polluting it. Ionizing radiation is a green technology.
