Abstract

UN METODO PARA LA ESTERILIZACION CON PLASMA COMPRENDE EXPONER UN ARTICULO A ESTERILIZAR A UN PLASMA GENERADO A PARTIR DE UNA MEZCLA DE GASES QUE COMPRENDE A) ARGON, HELIO,NITROGENO, O MEZCLAS DE LOS MISMOS Y OXIGENO E HIDROGENO; B) ARGON, HELIO, NITROGENO, O MEZCLAS DE LOS MISMOS,E HIDROGENO; C)ARGON, HELIO, NITROGENO O MEZCLAS DE LOS MISMOS Y OXIGENO. LA EXPOSICION DEL ARTICULO AL PLASMA SE LLEVA A CABO A UNA PRESION DE DESDE 0,1 HASTA 10 TORR Y A UNA TEMPERATURA DE CAMARA DE MENOS DE 63 C DURANTE UN PERIODO DE TIEMPO SUFICIENTE PARA EFECTUAR LA ESTERILIZACION. LOS ARTICULOS CONTAMINADOS PUEDEN SER TRATADOS PREVIAMENTE EN UN PLASMA GENERADO A PARTIR DE OXIGENO Y OPCIONALMENTE DE ARGON, HELIO, Y/O NITROGENO EN LAS MISMAS CONDICIONES DURANTE 5 MINUTOS PARA ELIMINAR LA PROTEINA. EL APARATO PARA LA ESTERILIZACION DE ARTICULOS CON PLASMA COMPRENDE UN GENERADOR DE PLASMA Y UNA CAMARA DE ESTERILIZACION. EL GENERADOR DE PLASMA COMPRENDE UNA PLURALIDAD DE TUBOS GENERADORES SITUADOS EN UNA O MAS ZONAS DE CAMPOS ELECTROMAGNETICOS DEFINIDOS POR UNO O MAS GUIAONDAS. LA SALIDA DEL TUBO GENERADOR TIENE PREFERENTEMENTE UN REDUCTOR PARA MANTENER LA PRESION DE GAS EN LA CAMARA GENERADORA DE PLASMA DE 0,3 A 10 TORR.
