The three phases of LTHP sterilization. - ANSWER Conditioning, sterilization, aeration 52. The phase in a LTHP cycle where the reservoir fills with sterilant and a vacuum pulse removes air and moisture from the chamber. When the set point is reached, the load is tested for moisture content and then dry air is introduced. - ANSWER Conditioning phase 53. The phase in a LTHP cycle consisting of four pulses. A vacuum pulled to a set point, sterilant vapor drawn into chamber, exposure period, filtered air introduced to a set point, another exposure, then a deep vacuum. - ANSWER Sterilization phase 54.
