Patent

CA 2430372

A medical article is heated to a temperature of at least (80) degrees F. Then, the medical article is loaded into a housing. After loading, the medical article may be heated within a sterilization-sealing station, by pressurizing the housing with steam through gas injection pins. The steam is supplied through gas injection pins. A sterilizing gas is also supplied to the medical article within the sterilization-sealing station. A determination is made as to how much time is required for the residual sterilizing gas to dissipate from the housing. The medical article is maintained in a degassing area until residual sterilizing gas dissipates from the housing. The housing may be formed between the first and second webs, which are sealed together after sterilization.

On porte un article médical à une température d'au moins 80 degrés. On charge ensuite l'article médical dans une enceinte. Une fois l'article chargé, on peut le chauffer dans une station de stérilisation-scellement, en pressurisant l'enceinte à l'aide de vapeur passant dans des aiguilles d'injection de gaz. La vapeur est envoyée par lesdites aiguilles. On envoie également un gaz stérilisant à l'article médical se trouvant dans la station de stérilisation-scellement. On détermine le temps requis pour que le gaz résiduel se dissipe de l'enceinte. On conserve l'article médical dans une zone de dégazage jusqu'à ce que le gaz stérilisant résiduel se dissipe de l'enceinte. L'enceinte peut être formée entre des première et seconde bandes qui sont scellées entre elles après la stérilisation.
