Pain points and chamber sizes in low temp sterilizers
This chapter discusses the pain points of aborted loads due to moisture and throughput issues in sterile processing. It also examines the reasons behind the smaller chamber size and capacity of low temp sterilizers compared to steam autoclaves and ETO chambers, speculating that it was historically designed for complex devices that didn't need simultaneous reprocessing. The chapter explores the cost difference between hydrogen peroxide and steam sterilization, as well as the benefits and flexibility provided by smaller sterilizers in workflow.
