The numbers you are referring to is the number of microbes on a device, typically used to represent the sterility assurance level of a process. 10^-6 is the goal of HLD and sterilization at minimum. 10^-4 is considered safe for handling and further reprocessing. It's a little more complex than this but that is the basics
dear @W.D.Y.D CSP , i have Question. what is the different between 10^6 spores VS 10^5 spores VS 10^4 spores ?
