Frozen water is even sublimated in such a vacuum.<\/p><p>Once the desired vacuum is reached, the O<sub>2<\/sub> gas that is injected into the Aurora sterilization bag penetrates all parts of the device by pressure equalization phenomenon.<\/p><p>When it takes the form of plasma, it will therefore act on all the parts of the device that it bathes.
