CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: A state-of-the-art low-temperature plasma sterilizer (Low-Temp Crystal Plasma Machine) has been installed at the Bhopal Memorial Hospital and Research Centre (BMHRC) to sterilize operation theatre instruments at lower temperatures. The machine was inaugurated on Friday by BMHRC’s Acting Director, Dr. Manisha Srivastava, in the interest of patient care and hospital efficiency. The event was attended by Dr. Anurag Yadav, Acting Medical Superintendent, along with other doctors and officials.
Dr. Srivastava stated, “This machine will not only speed up the sterilization process but will also help preserve the functionality and lifespan of surgical instruments. It marks a significant step toward providing high-quality and infection-free healthcare services at BMHRC.”
Easy Maintenance and Safe Operation
She further added that the machine’s installation will lead to quicker instrument availability, more efficient surgical procedures, and improved infection control standards. This initiative is set to become a milestone in enhancing patient safety and hospital productivity.
Key Features of the Machine:
Fast Sterilization: Capable of sterilizing instruments in just 25 to 60 minutes, compared to the older ETO machines which required over 12 hours.
Low-Temperature Operation: Operates on a low-temperature plasma technology, preventing thermal damage to instruments.
Ideal for Delicate Instruments: Especially suitable for endoscopes, laparoscopic tools, cameras, and fiber optics.
Eco-Friendly: Uses hydrogen peroxide gas, which breaks down into water (H₂O) and oxygen after the process—leaving no harmful residue.
High Safety Standards: Effectively eliminates bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores, ensuring a sterile environment.
