Learning Objectives  |  At the end of this session, participants should be able to:

• Describe the role of each saturated steam sterilization cycle phase to deliver medical devices both sterile and dry.
• Discuss the impact on cycle performance, of the different metallic and non-metallic materials, used on medical devices and sterile barriers.
• Apply available resources to optimize the steam sterilization cycle
