Counter-top pasteurizer for high-level disinfection of small loads The Olympic Mini-Pasteurmatic is a counter-top pasteurizer for high-level disinfection of sleep and respiratory masks, tubes, and related parts. It requires no floor space or special installation, and is ideal for sleep clinics or sterile-processing departments. High-level disinfection is achieved by pasteurization: submersion in hot water at 160°F to 170°F (71°C to 76°C) for 30 minutes. Pasteurization has been recognized for many years as a safe and effective, non-toxic method of high-level disinfection for semi-critical items by CDC, JCAHO, APIC and the CSA.
