View pageUS Patent:
53605934, Nov 1, 1994
Filed:
Oct 22, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/141904
Inventors:
Krishna M. Bapatla - Fort Worth TX
Assignee:
Alcon Laboratories, Inc. - Fort Worth TX
International Classification:
A61L 200
US Classification:
422 32
Abstract:
Disclosed is a process for heat sterilizing pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, foodstuffs and other materials, which are labile to oxidation by atmospheric oxygen at elevated temperature and labile to other degradative changes through interaction with volatiles raised by exposure of the material to elevated temperature, comprising heating, for a given length of time, the material to be sterilized at a temperature required to achieve a predetermined degree of sterilization in a gaseous medium substantially devoid of oxygen; typically such a gaseous medium comprises a non reactive gas, such as, nitrogen, which is otherwise innocuous and capable of being purged at the end of the sterilization process at a pressure sufficient to facilitate the distribution of heat throughout the material being treated by convection.
