In an effort to provide guidelines for standardizing aeration times for plastics sterilized with ethylene oxide, an Aeration Index has been developed. Based on the rate of diffusion of ethylene oxide in selected polymers, the Index provides an indication of the aeration time at ambient temperature (23 degrees C) for the ethylene oxide concentration in freshly sterilized plastics to drop to 50 parts/10(6).
为了提供对用环氧乙烷灭菌的塑料的通气时间进行标准化的指导方针,已制定了一个通气指数。该指数基于环氧乙烷在选定聚合物中的扩散速率,可指示在环境温度(23摄氏度)下,使刚灭菌的塑料中的环氧乙烷浓度降至50 ppm(百万分之五十)所需的通气时间。
