A low-pressure vapor sterilization process which employs hydrogen peroxide vapor as the active agent. In the process, the article to be sterilized is placed in a than about 1.33 mbar (1 torr). Aqueous hydrogen peroxide is added to the chamber and allowed to vaporize. The chamber is maintained at a pressure below the vapor pressure of the hydrogen peroxide and at a temperature of less than about 40 DEG C. for a period of time sufficient to achieve sterilization of the article. |
