Reply to Randal W. Eveland regarding comparative evaluation of the microbicidal activity of low-temperature sterilization technologies to steam sterilization

Because protein (organic matter) remains on cleaned surgical instruments,2 we must investigate at what point the presence of protein overwhelms the ability of the sterilizer to inactivate contaminating microorganisms. [...]regarding environmental hydrogen peroxide levels, for both sterilizers there...

description Because protein (organic matter) remains on cleaned surgical instruments,2 we must investigate at what point the presence of protein overwhelms the ability of the sterilizer to inactivate contaminating microorganisms. [...]regarding environmental hydrogen peroxide levels, for both sterilizers there were no notable emissions from the sterilizers during the cycle. [...]the higher concentration of hydrogen peroxide in the HPGP sterilizer is a potential safety factor, which resulted in the significantly higher margin of safety for HPGP vs VHP (ie, failure rate of HPGP of 1.9% vs 76.3% for VHP).
