title: [Study of medical instrument sterilization based on plasma].
abstract: In this paper, the generation of the plasma, its principle and its application in the sterilization of medical instruments are described. The relation between discharge voltage and air pressure, frequency, electrode distance is analysed and discussed in glow discharge so as to get a new formula of discharge voltage in the whole frequency range and a design has been made to produce a plasma RF power. The result of the study has a great significance to the application of plasma sterilization of medical instruments.
