Steam — kills microorganisms by denature great the protein
steam sterilization — is the most common form of sterilization for
items that are heat- and moisture- tolerant
saturated steam under Three parameters of steam sterilization cycles are
pressure, time, and
temperature
Dynamic-air-removal — are used in prevacuum sterilized and in steam-flush
cycles pressure-pulse (SFPP)
Prevacuum sterilizers — remove air by drawing series of vacuums
with an injection of steam between each
vacuum pull.
Bowie-Dick test Performed daily to detect air leaks or
