whats a steile field and what is not
One is guaranteed to have no microorganisms on it inside the sterile packaging, the other is clean but is not guaranteed to have no microorganisms on it.
one is an action while sterile is a state of being
A clean environment is free of visible dirt and clutter, while a sterile environment is completely free of all microorganisms, including bacteria and viruses.
By definition, aspetic means free of pathogenic microorganisms. Whereas Sterile means absence of all the microorganisms. While the difference is clear, both terms are sometimes used interchangably. For example, FDA has a guideline on processing the sterile drugs in the Aspetic environment. But this guideline does not draw a clear distinction between the two categories.
sterile water is just free from microrganisms while pyrogen free water is specifically free from those orgainsms which cause fever.
Sterile water for inhalation is typically designed for use in nebulizers or humidifiers to help with respiratory conditions. Sterile water for irrigation is used for wound cleansing, nasal irrigation, or medical procedures to prevent infection. Both are sterile and free of contaminants, but they have different intended uses.
