Which is an advantage of using ozone gas sterilization?
 
  a. Multiple settings for each cycle
  b. Inexpensive cost per each load
  c. High temperature heats instruments and sterilizes well
  d. Can be used to sterilize implants and flexible endoscopes

Question 2

Which is one of the six process-associated parameters associated with sterilization?
 
  a. Steam quality
  b. Wrapper capacity
  c. Cost to operate radiation sterilization
  d. Saturation and penetration

[trampas]

Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Because of only one setting for all cycles, there is minimal risk for user error; ozone leaves no residue and converts to oxygen in a short time with no aeration necessary. It is inexpensive to operate and its low temperature is safer for heat sensitive instruments.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Temperature, humidity/moisture/hydration, time, purity of the agent/air and residual effects, saturation/penetration, and capacity of the sterilizer are the parameters considered for the reliability of the sterilizing process.
