The complete process time amounts to 6 seconds. Using the common reference germs for hydrogen peroxide sterilisation processes, endospores of different strains of bacillus subtilis and bacillus stearothermophilus, the Dry Sterilisation Process easily achieves a germ reduction of 106...108 (log6...log8) in count reduction tests and also in end point tests.
The sterilised items leave the sterilisation chamber in a completely dry state. Only the surface temperature of the items is slightly increased by a few degrees (10...15K) during the sterilisation process. Therefore, the process is particularly useful for the sterilisation of heat sensitive items like plastic bottles. It is also useful for applications which require a high germ reduction and short process times.
