1. The saturated stream pressure should reach to 0.4MPa 0.6MPa if air is supplied through pipe; And non-uniform color changes may be observed if the pressure is lower than 0.3MPa;
2. As for the pre-vacuum steam sterilizers or high vacuum autoclave with pulsing systems with air supply by pipe, the time of stopping air supply should longer than 2 days; And air-removal process should be done before re-using, or else, large amount of aqueous vapor existing in saturated stream may cause difficulty in cool air removal and wet pack, which will result in incapability of demonstrating test results due to wet BD test paper.
