∎ Diffusion: Pressure in the chamber is increased in order to supply hydrogen peroxide to the
surfaces of the devices and into the lumens of the load.
∎ Plasma purification / Vacuuming: The pressure within the chamber is decreased to eliminate the
residual sterilant from the chamber. Power is applied to the plasma source to break the residual
hydrogen peroxide into reactive species that recombine to form water vapor and oxygen.
Sterilization process – Phase 2
The steps in the Phase 1 are repeated.
