Conditions of the process of Dry Heat sterilization

Institutional procedure manuals should establish working conditions according to the load, volume, weight and thermal resistance of the material.
It is indispensable to respect the parameters obtained during the validation of the procedure.
Temperature: the temperature of sterilization by dry heat should stay between 160 ºC – 170 ºC.
Times: the total exposure time of the material is determined through the corresponding validation of the cycle.
It is important to point out that the exposure time should be recorded after the required temperature is reached and not from the time that the sterilizer is charged since a prolonged time could be required to reach the sterilization temperature.
