Description

<p>There are difficult aspects to properly operating EOG sterilization in health care facilities. As an alternative, LTSF sterilization can be used, but the same concern as EOG sterilization is residual sterilant.</p><p>Since a sterile container is used as packing material for the set products in health care facility, it needs to confirm the residual level inside of the sterile container and remaining on the surface of medical equipment after LTSF sterilization.</p><p>The method was followed with EN14180, and the volume of load is same load volume of routine cycle for LTSF. As a result, the residual level of formaldehyde inside of the sterile container was of no matter compared to the type test data described in EN14180. The same applies to packed medical equipment by sterile container. Such measurement results will be useful information at each health care facility from now on, but the methodology of measurement will need to be discussed.</p>
