Sterilization第 39 / 100 题
Wet packs are appearing intermittently across several loads. Which of the following is the least likely cause?
a.Overloading the chamber or packing items too densely
b.Insufficient drying time or opening the door too early
c.Using a dynamic-air-removal cycle instead of a gravity cycle
d.Poor steam quality with excess moisture in the supply line
解析
Dynamic-air-removal cycles generally dry better than gravity cycles because the post-cycle vacuum helps pull moisture out, so cycle type is not a likely cause of wet packs. Overloading, dense packing, short drying times, premature door opening, clogged drains, faulty steam traps, and wet incoming steam are all recognized contributors. Cooling loads on a cold metal surface or in a drafty area also produces condensation.
