ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for terminal sterilization of prefilled packages is disclosed. A prefilled package such as syringe, vial, cartridge, or bottle is inserted into a sterilization chamber. The chamber is pressurized with a gas having a humidity between 0% to 100%. The gas is then heated such that the prefilled package does not fail and a vapor is generated within said prefilled package which is lethal to pathogens. The package is then cooled to drop the temperature of the prefilled package.
