Publication number: 20040028556Abstract: Described is a process for the chemical sterilization of objects, in particular of medical objects, which are packed in a non-sterile state into a bacteria-impermeable, but gas-permeable non-sterile package and subsequently sterilized using a diffusionable, reactive, gas-like medium. The medium is an overheated hydrogen peroxide vapor, which drops below dew point in the inside of the package and is thus forced to condensate. The condensate is subsequently returned to the vapor phase by evacuating the package, and thereafter pumped out.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 8, 2003Publication date: February 12, 2004Inventors: Robert Frost, Peter Awakowicz
