moisture-tolerant - ANSWER-steam sterilization
Three parameters of steam sterilization cycles are - ANSWER-saturated steam
under pressure, time, and temperature
— are used in prevacuum sterilized and in steam-flush pressure-pulse (SFPP) -
ANSWER-Dynamic-air-removal cycles
— remove air by drawing series of vacuums with an injection of steam between
each vacuum pull. - ANSWER-Prevacuum sterilizers
Performed daily to detect air leaks or inadequate air removal from prevacuum
sterilzers - ANSWER-Bowie-Dick test
Incoming steam displaces residual air through the drain at the bottom of the
sterilizer chamber: - ANSWER-Gravity-displacement cycles
Because there is no mechanical air removal in a —, a Bowie-Dick test is not
required for — or sterilizers - ANSWER-Gravity-displacement
In most healthcare facilities, steam is generated inside of a: - ANSWER-Boiler
