When the sterilizer is extracted, the extraction tube or the sterilizer container is moved to a position at which the sterilizer in the sterilizer container can be extracted. When the sterilizer is not extracted from the sterilizer container, the extraction tube or the sterilizer container is moved to a withdrawal position at which the sterilizer container can be replaced. At the withdrawal position after extraction of the sterilizer, the sterilizer remaining in the sterilizer container accommodated in a housing chamber is dried through an extraction port of the sterilizer container, with the extraction tube being inserted therein.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2016,JPO&INPIT
