ABSTRACT:
A sterilization process is disclosed which utilizes an oscillating magnetic field to control the state of free radicals in a sterilizing media and which synergetically induces a molecular structural change in the microorganism, thereby increasing the vulnerability of the microorganism to the sterilizing media. This process significantly enhances the efficiency of the sterilizing media and reduces the exposure time necessary for a lethal dose to harmful microorganisms. It is also disclosed that this process can be used directly on living human tissue or fragile medical devices or implants with no detrimental effects to the patient. It is also disclosed that this process can be used on the hands of health care or food service personnel to reduce the likelihood of nosocomial infection.
