When the Specification specifies an object or goal of the invention, as here, we interpret the claims in the manner that would allow the claimed invention to meet such objective or goal, i.e., exposing a medical device to a highly pressurized CO2-based mixture in a pressure chamber for a prolonged period to achieve a safe endotoxin level on such medical device. In re Rambus, Inc., 694 F.3d 42, 50 (Fed. Cir. 2012) (stating that when the Specification specifies an object or goal of the invention, any claim construction or interpretation that would have rendered the claimed invention incapable of meeting that objective or goal is incorrect) (citing Lisle Corp. v. A.J. Mfg. Co., 398 F.3d 1306, 1314 (Fed. Cir. 2005).)

In applying a broadest reasonable interpretation standard, the Federal Circuit had recognized that a statement in a specification that a claim term "refers to" something can serve as a limitation.  See In re Rambus, 694 F.3d 42, 45-47 (Fed. Cir. 2012) (construing term "memory device" based on specification's disclosure that "[i]n general, each teaching of this invention which refers to a memory device can be practiced using a tranceiver device and one or more memory devices"); see also In re Abbott Diabetes Care Inc., 696 F.3d 1142, 1150 (Fed. Cir. 2012) (recognizing that "[e]ven when guidance is not provided in a explicit definitional format, the specification may define claim terms by implication such that the meaning may be found in or ascertained by a reading of the patent documents").
