FH provided by an overkill cycle may produce a 12- log reduction of a biological indicator ( 3 log reduction of endotoxin) that exhibits a high resistance to dry heat.
The Fo is a overkill approach provides assurance of sterilization well in excess
of the 10-6 probability of non- sterility (by appling steam)
