19 devices · GMDN 36253
This category covers mains-powered devices that sterilize medical instruments by immersing them in liquid chemical solutions. They are used clinically for heat- and moisture-sensitive equipment that cannot withstand steam sterilization but is compatible with chemical agents. The process involves placing cleaned devices into a chamber filled with sterilant fluid, followed by controlled exposure to ensure microbial destruction.
These devices are supplied as professional medical equipment intended for healthcare facilities with appropriate sterilization infrastructure. They operate using liquid chemical sterilants such as formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, or ortho-phthalaldehyde, and feature automated controls for procedure timing and fluid circulation. Users should verify local regulatory requirements, as classification and approval pathways vary by jurisdiction and device configuration.
