EO Abator Operation and Installation Manual

2

Read, understand, and follow all safety information contained in these instructions prior to using the 3M EO Abator. 

Retain these instructions for future reference.

Intended Use:

The 3M™ EO Abator is intended to remove ethylene oxide (EO) from the exhaust of 3M™ Steri-Vac™ Sterilizers and 

Aerators. The EO Abator converts EO into carbon dioxide and water vapor through a heated catalytic process. Use with 

other than 3M™ Steri-Vac™ Sterilizers and Aerators could lead to an unsafe condition.
