1. low -temperature sterilization:
-peracetic acid liquid chemical
-hydrogen peroxide gas plasma (STERRAD)
-ozone
-ethylene oxide
2. peracetic acid liquid chemical, 4 methods of low-temperature chemical
hy- drogen peroxide gas plasma sterilization
(STER- RAD), ozone, ethylene
oxide
3. peracetic acid liquid chemical - low-temperature sterilization
-chemical sterilization
-items are immersed
-for heat-sensitive items that can be immersed
-immediate use only
-used as an alternative method for sterilizing
mini- mally invasive heat-sensitive items if a
gas or plasma sterilizer is not available or the
aeration period makes EO gas sterilization
impractical
-no aeration required
4. peracetic acid liquid chemical - low-temperature chemical sterilization method in
which items are immersed
-used for heat-sensitive items that can be
immersed
5. peracetic acid liquid chemical low-temperature chemical sterilization method
that is
for immediate used only

6. hydrogen peroxide gas -low-temperature sterilization
plasma (STERRAD) -chemical sterilization
-for heat- and moisture-sensitive items
-not used for sets of instruments or metal trays

-cellulose-based paper cannot be used
-oxygen and water vapor are produced as
byproducts, so does not require a special
aeration process
-items must be thoroughly dry before
placement in packaging
-test at least daily
7. hydrogen peroxide gas
plasma (STERRAD) low-temperature chemical sterilization method
that cannot be used for metal trays and is not
used for sets of instruments
8. hydrogen peroxide gas plasma STERRAD
9. daily How often should testing of hydrogen
peroxide gas plasma (STERRAD) sterilizers
occur?
10. hydrogen peroxide gas 3 low-temperature chemical sterilization methods
plasma (STERRAD), ozone, for heat- and moisture-sensitive items
ethylene oxide
11. ozone - low-temperature sterilization
-chemical sterilization
-for heat- and moisture-sensitive items
-uses only oxygen and water in the sterilizer
chamber
-oxygen and water vapor are byproducts, so
aeration is not required
-items should be packaged in rigid
containers and non-woven packages
-cellulose-based paper cannot be used
