Prep, Packaging & StoragePregunta 85 de 100
What temperature and humidity conditions are recommended for a sterile storage area?
a.Temperature not exceeding about 75 degrees F (24 degrees C) and relative humidity not exceeding about 60 percent, with a minimum of 4 air exchanges per hour and positive pressure
b.Temperature of 60 to 65 degrees F and 10 air exchanges per hour under negative pressure
c.Any temperature, as long as humidity stays above 70 percent
d.Temperature above 80 degrees F to keep packages thoroughly dry
Explicación
Sterile storage is kept cool and dry under positive pressure with at least four air exchanges per hour so packaging is not degraded by heat or moisture and clean air flows outward. The 60 to 65 degrees F, 10 exchange, negative pressure profile describes the decontamination area. Humidity above 60 percent encourages microbial growth and can compromise packaging, and excessive heat damages wrappers and seals.
