Easily verify that EtO sterilization is complete

CleanMark’s EtO sterilization indicator labels are custom designed to visually confirm sterilization by ethylene oxide (EtO), lowering the risk of contamination, operational delays, and regulatory noncompliance.

Prevent contamination

CleanMark’s EtO indicator labels feature a distinctive color change from green to purple upon exposure, providing immediate visual confirmation that sterilization conditions have been met.

Reduce compliance stress

Meeting regulatory requirements becomes simpler with labels specifically designed for EtO sterilization processes. CleanMark’s EtO sterilization labels clearly document sterilization status to streamline audits and regulatory inspections.

Improve operational efficiency

Streamline sterilization verification and inventory processes with CleanMark labels that provide instant visual assurance of EtO sterilization completion. 

Medical valve that might undergo EtO sterilization

Industry-leading innovation in EtO sterilization indicator labels

Our EtO indicator labels use advanced technology to change color when exposed to EtO gases at sterilizing levels.

Chemical reaction

EtO sterilization indicators contain inks sensitive to ethylene oxide gas. When exposed to EtO under appropriate sterilization conditions — temperature, humidity, gas concentration, and exposure time —  they undergo a chemical reaction.

Color change

The chemical reaction induces a clear and permanent color shift. This color change occurs only if the correct concentration of EtO, humidity, and temperature have been met for a specified time.

Verification of sterilization conditions

The distinct color shift demonstrates that sterilization conditions were adequate and that the item or packaging has undergone proper exposure to EtO gas.
