for water quality in accordance with DIN EN 285 /
DIN EN 13060 – Appendix C
Flow drying
drying in which the dampness of the chamber is removed
using mechanically generated air flow, usually using heat
Fractionated flow procedure
over-pressure procedure in which the change between
pressure inlet and removal removes air from the chamber
and the sterilization material
FTP
(File Transfer Protocol) is a data transmission
procedure serving to transport data from the internet. This
data can include programs, files or even information.
Special FTP programs (FTP clients) serve to load the data
onto a server.
Heating time
the time required after the steam sterilizer has been
switched on / after the start of a sterilization program, to
heat the steam generator before the sterilization procedure
starts. The duration is dependent on temperature at which
sterilization takes place.
Hollow body A

product with narrow lumen
Hollow body B

simple hollow items
Initialization
creating a specific starting situation of the software upon
starting
Integrated steam penetration
the steam generator is located directly in the steam
sterilizer – and not in a separate unit space as with a large
steam sterilizer.
LED
Light Emitting Diode: Semi-conductor diode which
illuminates upon current flow. LEDs are predominantly
used in device status displays e.g. upon hard drive access.
Lubricant
Instrument oil or instrument milk
Massive
without hollows or cavities, compact, sealed closed
Massive load – verification of a massive
load
serves to prove that the necessary sterilization conditions
are reached within the entire load with the values set in the
control. The load must represent the max amount of
massive instruments which requires a sterilizer designed in
accordance with DIN EN 13060 in order to be able to
sterilize them. [DIN EN 13060]
Mixed load
wrapped and unwrapped sterilization material within a
single load
Multiple wrapping
e.g. wrapped instruments sealed in a double layer of film
or wrapped in film and placed in an additional container or
a container wrapped in textiles.
Porous
permeable for fluids and air e.g. textiles
Porous small components
made of materials which are able to absorb fluids
Porous full load – test of porous full load
serves to prove that with the values set in the control, the
necessary sterilization conditions are reached within an
entire load filled with the maximum mass of porous items
for which the sterilizer is designed in accordance with
DIN EN 13060 [DIN EN 13060]
Process evaluation system
also known as the self-monitoring system – observes itself,
takes effect during the program, compares the various
sensors.
Pulsating over-pressure drying
drying during which the change between air intake and
discharge removes the dampness in the sterilization
chamber and on the sterilizing material.

Process evaluation system
Simple hollow items
body open on one side to which the following applies:
1 ≤ L/D ≤ 5 und D ≥ 5 mm or
a body with an opening on both sides which is:
2 ≤ L/D ≤ 10 and D ≥ 5
L…length of hollow body
D…diameter of hollow body
[DIN EN 13060]
Soft sterilization packaging
e. g. paper bag or transparent sterilization packaging
Software
non-material component of IT systems e.g. a computer
program
Standard conform
satisfies all relevant standards
Sterile barrier system
a closed minimum packaging which prevents the entrance
of microorganisms e.g. through sealing bags, sealed and
re-usable containers and folded sterilization towels etc.
Sterilized equipment
also referred to as a batch: a load which has already been
sterilized, i.e. is sterile
Sterilization chamber
the interior of a sterilizer, which
accommodates the sterilizing material
Sterilizing material
unsterile, sterilizable material which is still to be sterilized.
Stainless steel cleaning medium
e.g. Sidol
Single wrapped
wrapped once e.g. film shrink-wrapped instruments – in
opposition to: Multiple packaging
TCP
(transmission control protocol) refers to a standard
protocol for connecting computers and networks.
