Steam-Flush Pressure-Pulse sterilizers use a repeated sequence consisting of a steam flush and a pressure pulse system that removes air from the sterilizing chamber and processed materials using steam at above atmospheric pressure (no vacuum is required).  Like a pre-vacuum sterilizer, a steam-flush pressure-pulse sterilizer rapidly removes air from the sterilizing chamber and wrapped items; however, the system is not susceptible to air leaks because air is removed with the sterilizing chamber pressure at above atmospheric pressure.  Typical operating temperatures are 121–123°C (250–254°F), 132–135°C (270–275°F), and 141–144°C (285–291°F).
