Is radiation sterelization also called as cold sterelization?

Cold sterilization is not radiation sterilization. Cold sterilization is a chemical sterilization. * Cold (chemical) sterilization used properly. Effective and proper use of cold sterilization is dependent on many factors including: ** The use of chemicals classified as "sterilants". Those classified only as "disinfectants" are not adequate. ** The physical properties of the item being sterilized. It must be relatively smooth, impervious to moisture, and be of a shape that permits all surfaces to be exposed to the sterilant. ** Adequate exposure to all surfaces, both interior and exterior. Tubing must be completely filled and the materials to be sterilized must be clean and arranged in the sterilant to assure total immersion. The items being sterilized must be exposed to the sterilant for the prescribed period of time. ** Use of efficacious solutions: The sterilant solution must be clean and fresh. Most sterilants come in solutions consisting of two parts that when added together form what is referred to as an "activated" solution. The shelf life of activated solutions is indicated in the instructions for commercial products. Generally, this is from one to four weeks. ** Rinse instruments, implants, and tubing (both inside and out) should be rinsed with sterile saline or sterile water prior to use to avoid tissue damage.
