The next set of fields includes data on post-exposure conditioning followed by the table of retained properties. For the chemical methods of sterilization, there is a table which contains data on residuals of sterilization reagent left in a product after various durations of post-treatment. This method of data presentation is very clear and it is very easy to find required data. Numerous graphs show changes as a function of time, dose, pressure, velocity, temperature, size, and frequency. The graphs help in comparison of various materials, compositions, and conditions of treatment.
Many indices help to find required data.
Also, a generous glossary of important terms is included. A chemical resistance table is the useful added feature of publication. Resistance rating is based on the developed objective system of rating which allows to compare effect of different reagents on different plastic in the uniform system of values. Resistance and material notes give explicit suggestion on material suitability for the use in a particular reagent. This book is very important for those who use sterilization or use fluids of medical significance as well as for those who develop, design, produce, and market these materials.
