PHYSICAL INDICATORS
They allow to determine the control of
the equipment, i.e. it is a way to measure
if the sterilizer is working properly.
It evaluates established conditions of
time, temperature and pressure, as well
as the capacity to extract air, promote
the penetration of the sterilant in the
packages and condition the load with
humidity.
