Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To observe the efficiency of new low-temperature sterilization method using(hydrogen) peroxide gas plasma sterilization system.METHODS The hydrogen peroxide gas plasma sterilization system of STERRAD 100S was monitored for 157 sterilization cycles.RESULTS From them 134 cycles were(completed,) 23 cycles were(cancelled.) All cycles were completed with negative results either in biological culture or in chemical indicators.CONCLUSIONS The STERRAD Sterilization System involves the combined use of hydrogen peroxide and low-temperature gas plasma to sterilize most medical devices and materials rapidly and safely without leaving any toxic residues.As nursing develops,the new sterilization system is efficient and convenient.However,it also has own limitations.Therefore,it is desirable to fully understand the normal procedure of system according to the operation instruction.
