PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR STERILIZING LIQUIDS FOR MEDICAL USE

摘要

The novel sterilization process disclosed herein still relies on the sterilization action resulting from exposure of the liquids and inner surfaces of the medical article to appropriate temperatures for well-determined times, but the sterilization temperature shall be attained through generation of heat in the article itself and not through heat transfer from outside to inside. This shall be obtained through the generation of a medium to high frequency electromagnetic field, whose characteristics are precisely determined to reach the desired temperature in as little time as possible and to maintain it for the time required for safe sterilization of the article.
