The invention relates to a method for disinfecting and/or sterilizing objects, said method comprising the method steps of: placing an object in a process chamber that can be evacuated; evacuating the process chamber; introducing a treatment medium; carrying out the disinfection and/or sterilization process; and increasing the pressure in the process chamber, wherein the concentration of the treatment medium is monitored while the disinfection and/or sterilization process is carried out. The invention also relates to: a software program for carrying out the method for disinfecting and/or sterilizing objects; and a device for disinfecting and/or sterilizing objects. The invention also relates to: a disinfected object comprising residues of the treatment medium and/or reaction products of the treatment medium and fewer than 2000 germs per m2 on the surface of the disinfected object; and a sterilized object comprising residues of the treatment medium and/or reaction products of the treatment medium and a germ-free surface.
A method for disinfecting and/or sterilizing objects (2) comprising the steps:
A device (1) for disinfecting and/or sterilizing objects (2), comprising
A disinfected object (2) with a surface roughness Rz with Rz<=10 μm, preferably with Rz<=5 μm and particularly preferably with Rz<=1 μm and/or with a porosity with a pore size P with 10 nm<=P<=500 μm, preferably with 25 nm<=P<=100 μm and particularly preferably with 50 nm<=P<=50 μm and/or a pore volume V based on the total volume of the object with V>=70%, preferably V>=55% and particularly preferably V>=40% and with residues of the treatment medium and/or reaction products of the treatment medium of less than 2000 germs per m2 on the surface.
A sterilized object (2) having a surface roughness Rz with Rz<=10 μm, preferably with Rz<=5 μm and particularly preferably with Rz<=1 μm and/or with a porosity with a pore size P with 10 nm<=P<=500 μm, preferably with 25 nm<=P<=100 μm and particularly preferably with 50 nm<=P<=50 μm and with residues of the medium and/or reaction products of the medium and/or a pore volume V with V>=70%, preferably V>=55% and particularly preferably V>=40%, based on the total volume of the object, and a germ-free surface.
