Subsystems 

Hydrogen Peroxide Delivery Subsystem 

The hydrogen peroxide delivery assembly transfers hydrogen peroxide 
solution from the cassette assembly to the vaporizer assembly. The 
delivery process involves: accepting a valid cassette from the user, 
positioning the cells in the hydrogen peroxide extractor assembly, 
delivering hydrogen peroxide solution from a cell to the vaporizer, 
isolating the vaporizer from atmosphere, and disposing of a used 
cassette. 

Vaporization Subsystem 

The vaporizer receives hydrogen peroxide solution from the delivery 
system and vaporizes the liquid hydrogen peroxide and water. The 
condenser condenses the hydrogen peroxide vapor while allowing the 
water vapor to pass through the chamber. The condenser vaporizes the 
hydrogen peroxide and transfers the vapor to the chamber. The vaporizer 
pressure transducer also monitors the pressure of the vapor in the 
vaporizer/condenser housings. 

Vacuum Subsystem 

The vacuum subsystem evacuates the chamber during the vacuum steps 
of the cycle, controls chamber pressure, and admits filtered air into the 
chamber during venting.  The vacuum subsystem is found in the base 
module and the top module. 

Plasma Subsystem 

The plasma subsystem generates electrical energy creating a gas plasma 
in the chamber that reduces residual hydrogen peroxide from the 
chamber atmosphere and in the materials of the load. 

The plasma subsystem consists of the LFPS II; an integrated plasma 
energy feedthrough. The door open/close sensor functions as a safety 
switch to prevent the LFPS II from operating when the door is open. 

Hydrogen Peroxide Monitor Subsystem 

The hydrogen peroxide monitor measures the concentration of hydrogen 
peroxide vapor at a fixed location in the chamber during the injection and 
diffusion stages of the sterilization process. The UV lamp and the lamp 
manager are located in the top module; the UV detector assembly is 
located in the chamber module.
