Hydrogen Peroxide Plasma Sterilizer
EiligPlaz H2O2 Plasma Sterilizer for Heat-Sensitive Instruments
A low-temperature H2O2 plasma sterilizer for compatible laparoscopic, ophthalmic, and delicate surgical instruments.
Sterilizer Overview
Low-temperature H2O2 plasma sterilization for compatible instruments
EiligPlaz is SSQ's low-temperature hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) plasma sterilizer for hospitals, CSSD departments, and surgical centers that reprocess heat-sensitive surgical instruments. It is also referred to as a hydrogen peroxide plasma sterilizer, vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VHP) sterilizer, or VH2O2 sterilizer.
The process uses vaporized hydrogen peroxide and a plasma phase to sterilize compatible instruments at low temperature with low moisture, making it suitable for delicate instruments, lenses, channels, and electronics that high-temperature steam can damage.
Because hydrogen peroxide breaks down primarily into water vapor and oxygen at the end of the cycle, plasma sterilization avoids the extended aeration associated with EO and supports faster instrument turnaround for busy CSSD and surgical workflows.
Who is it for?
Hospitals, CSSD departments, surgical centers, and specialist facilities processing heat-sensitive instruments.
What problem does it solve?
Modern surgical instruments can be sensitive to heat and moisture, making steam sterilization unsuitable for some validated applications.
Sterilization technology
EiligPlaz uses low-temperature hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) plasma sterilization. Vaporized hydrogen peroxide is introduced into the chamber and distributed around the load, then a plasma phase is applied as part of the configured process.
The cycle runs at low temperature with low moisture, which suits delicate, heat-sensitive instruments. At the end of the cycle, hydrogen peroxide breaks down primarily into water vapor and oxygen, so the process avoids the extended aeration associated with EO.
This makes hydrogen peroxide plasma sterilization a fast-turnaround, low-temperature option for compatible surgical instruments in hospitals, CSSD departments, and surgical centers.

Frequently asked questions
EiligPlaz is a low-temperature H2O2 plasma sterilizer for compatible heat-sensitive surgical instruments in hospitals, CSSD departments, operation theatres, and surgical centers.
A plasma sterilizer is a low-temperature sterilizer that uses vaporized hydrogen peroxide and a plasma phase to process compatible heat-sensitive instruments where high-temperature steam is not suitable.
Hydrogen peroxide plasma sterilization uses vaporized hydrogen peroxide, followed by a plasma phase, to sterilize compatible instruments at low temperature with low moisture. It is a low-temperature alternative to steam sterilization for heat-sensitive devices.
VHP stands for vaporized hydrogen peroxide. A VHP sterilizer uses hydrogen peroxide vapor to sterilize compatible instruments at low temperature. EiligPlaz uses a hydrogen peroxide plasma process within this low-temperature category.
After the chamber is conditioned, vaporized hydrogen peroxide is introduced and distributed around the load, then a plasma phase is applied. At the end of the cycle the hydrogen peroxide breaks down primarily into water vapor and oxygen.
Plasma sterilization is used for compatible heat- and moisture-sensitive instruments, including many laparoscopic and ophthalmic sets and instruments with electronics or delicate materials, subject to the validated cycle.
Compatible ophthalmic instruments can be evaluated for low-temperature H2O2 plasma sterilization. Compatibility should be confirmed for each instrument and validated cycle.
Compatible laparoscopic instruments can be evaluated for H2O2 plasma sterilization, which suits delicate, heat-sensitive sets that need a low-temperature, low-moisture process.
EO (ethylene oxide) sterilization offers broad material and packaging compatibility and deep penetration, but requires aeration. H2O2 plasma sterilization runs at low temperature with low moisture and a faster turnaround. The right method depends on device compatibility, packaging, and throughput.
Hydrogen peroxide breaks down primarily into water vapor and oxygen at the end of the cycle, so plasma sterilization does not require the extended aeration associated with EO. Handling should follow the validated cycle and manufacturer guidance.
EiligPlaz supports broader hospital and CSSD workflows, while HyperPlaz is the compact 30 litre plasma sterilizer option for specialist and space-conscious setups.
