INTRODUCTION
Program selection is key to a successful sterilization process.
Since objects for sterilization can vary in shape, consistency and properties, it is important to
identify the most suitable program for it. This will not only preserve its physical characteristics
(avoiding or, at any rate, limiting alterations) it will ensure the most effective sterilization.
NOTE
A GUIDE TO SELECTING THE MOST SUITABLE PROGRAM FOR DIFFERENT L OAD TYPES IS
PROVIDED IN APPENDIX B (PR O G R A M S ).
