Benefit of Gas Plasma Sterilization

Abstract

Gas plasma sterilization method has a benefit to attain both SAL (sterility assurance level) of 10-6 and material/functional compatibility in success. On the contrary current sterilization procedures such as gamma-ray, electron beam, autoclaving, dry heating, ethylene oxide gas, and hydrogen peroxide gas can attain SAL of 10-6, but failed to attain material/functional compatibility, so the real marketing of the gas plasma sterilizer is keenly desired.
