Steam sterilization is the simplest and most useful method of sterilization of thermostable materials. Sterilization depends upon three factors: time, temperature, and the presence of live steam. For the first time an instrument can be employed to monitor these three factors with immediate readout. This paper contrasts the advantages of this integrator with sterilizer controls, and biological and chemical indicators; and describes methods utilized in testing the integrator.
蒸汽灭菌是对耐热材料进行灭菌的最简单且最有效的方法。灭菌取决于三个因素:时间、温度和活蒸汽的存在。首次可以使用一种仪器来即时监测这三个因素。本文对比了这种积分仪与灭菌器控制装置、生物和化学指示剂的优势;并描述了测试该积分仪所采用的方法。
