of monitoring sterilization;
The biological indicator
only tells you if the target
temperature was reached
18. Water becomes a chromophore at? 900nm
19. Names for thermolysis Alternating current, high
frequency, short wave and
radio frequency, flash,

a device that is a combina-
tion of a cooling pad as-
sociated with a vacuum or
mechanical massager in-
tended for the disruption
