All medical devices manufactured by BD Medical at its Sandy City, Utah, facility are subjected to sterilization prior to sale. Since the sterilization process utilizes ethylene oxide gas, which is explosive, engineers determined the facility needed to provide specialized venting in case of an accidental release of the gas from the sterilization equipment. According to Travis Anderton, Facilities Engineering/EHS Manager, BD Medical, “After a thorough product search, we were absolutely sold on C/S Explovent. The fact that Explovent was FM Approved and could be site tested to verify its performance made our decision easy.”
