The novel sterilization process disclosed herein still relies on the
sterilization action resulting from exposure of the liquids and inner
surfaces of the medical article to appropriate temperatures for
well-determined times, but the sterilization temperature shall be
attained through generation of heat in the article itself and not through
heat transfer from outside to inside. This shall be obtained through the
generation of a medium to high frequency electromagnetic field, whose
characteristics are precisely determined to reach the desired temperature
in as little time as possible and to maintain it for the time required
for safe sterilization of the article.
