Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for monitoring a gas sterilization environment. The sensor assembly includes a housing that defines an internal chamber and a sensing volume that is in fluid communication with the gas sterilization environment. A gas concentration sensor and at least one environmental sensor positioned within the internal chamber and operably coupled to the sensing volume. A sensor-assembly controller is configured to execute a set of operations that control the sensors to monitor the gas sterilization environment over a sterilization period of between six hours and 48 hours.
