Abstract

UN METODO PARA LA ESTERILIZACION CON PLASMA, DENTRO DE UN LIMITE DE TEMPERATURA CONTROLADO. QUE CONSISTE EN EXPONER UN ARTICULO QUE SE ENCUENTRA EN UNA CAMARA DE ESTERILIZACION (40) A UN PLASMA GASEOSO QUE FLUYE DESDE UNA CAMARA GENERADORA DE PLASMA (2) HASTA QUE LA TEMPERATURA EN LA CAMARA DE ESTERILIZACION ALCANZA UNA TEMPERATURA MAXIMA PRESELECCIONADA. EL FLUJO DE PLASMA GASEOSO A LA CAMARA DE ESTERILIZACION (4) SE DETIENE HASTA QUE LA TEMPERATURA DE LA CAMARA DE ESTERILIZACION (4) BAJA A UNA TEMPERATURA INFERIOR A LA TEMPERATURA MAXIMA SELECCIONADA. ESTOS PASOS SE REPITEN HASTA QUE TIENE LUGAR LA ESTERILIZACION DEL ARTICULO. LA TEMPERATURA INFERIOR A LA TEMPERATURA MAXIMA PRESELECCIONADA CUANDO EL FLUJO DE PLASMA GASEOSO SE INICIA OTRA VEZ NO HA DE SER, PREFERENTEMENTE, SUPERIOR A 3 (GRADOS) C POR DEBAJO DE LA TEMPERATURA MAXIMA PRESELECCIONADA. EL PLASMA GASEOSO SE PUEDE GENERAR A PARTIR DE UNA MEZCLA DE GASES QUE CONSISTEN ESENCIALMENTE EN ARGON, HELIO, NITROGENO O MEZCLAS DE LOS MISMOS. PREFERENTEMENTE, LA PRESION EN LA CAMARA DE ESTERILIZACION (4) SUBE DE 0,1 A 10 TORR CUANDO EL PLASMA DE GAS ENTRA EN LA CAMARA (4) Y LA PRESION EN LA CAMARA DE ESTERILIZACION (4) BAJA A UNA PRESION MENOR CUANDO TERMINA EL FLUJO DE PLASMA GASEOSO QUE ENTRA EN LA CAMARA DE ESTERILIZACION (4).
