Gas plasma sterilization is new to the healthcare field. The first such sterilizer has been manufactured by Advanced Sterilization Products (J&J, Irvine, CA). The system uses hydrogen peroxide as the substrate gas and radio frequency emissions to generate plasma. This system is a low-temperature, quick-acting process with no toxic residues. It appears that this sterilizer system holds promise in the healthcare field and could help to reduce the use of ethylene oxide.
气体等离子体灭菌在医疗保健领域是新事物。第一台此类灭菌器由先进灭菌产品公司（强生公司，加利福尼亚州欧文市）制造。该系统使用过氧化氢作为反应气体，并利用射频发射来产生等离子体。这个系统是一个低温、快速起效的过程，且无有毒残留物。看来这种灭菌器系统在医疗保健领域有前景，并且有助于减少环氧乙烷的使用。
