Sterilization TechnologiesSterilization TechnologiesSteamSteam
PreVacuum• Sterilization conditions
created by creating chamber vacuum to displace air within chamber and instrumentation
• Short exposure time• High temperature• Drying phase
![Page 6: CESO Education Day November 30, 2004 Shawn Kenny Manager, Central Processing Department University Health Network – Toronto General Hospital](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062620/551a7c9e550346b52d8b5481/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Sterilization TechnologiesSterilization TechnologiesSteamSteam
Gravity Displacement• Steam is injected directly into the chamber
sleeve and air is displaced passively through a drain
• More ‘gentle’ method, often utilizing lower temperatures with longer exposure times
• Drying phase

Sterilization TechnologiesSterilization TechnologiesSteamSteam
Flash• Point of care sterilization• Utilizes gravity displacement or prevacuum• Wrapped or unwrapped• Porous and Non-Porous cycles• Normally no drying phase• Urgent requirements, not recommended for
normal practice
