    Journal: Med Tekh; 1985; (4):50-4. PubMed ID: 4058295.
    Abstract:
    The effect of residual air concentration in a sterilization chamber and of technique of its removal on the heating rate of an object are studied as well as the effect of packaging density on the process of air removal and on the object's warming up. The following rubber medical products have been used as objects: surgical gloves, drainage and connecting tubes, and stoppers. The studies make it possible to define the gravity-fluctuation technique as the optimum one for air removal, and the optimum loading density of sterilization boxes that ensures the object sterility.
