Objects in bags must be placed on the trays with the transparent part of the package facing down.
4.5 Putting the material to be sterilised in the chamber
Package the load very carefully, making sure that the medical devices are compatible with the chosen packaging.
The chosen packaging material must be:
- Compatible with the sterilisation process.
- Compatible with the labelling system.
Only use medical packaging that is compliant with: EN 868-5 and ISO 11607-1 qualiied for 134°C cycles.
To check that the thermodynamic sterilisation cycle has completed successfully, always put a class 5 chemical indicator in together with the
load in accordance with ISO 11140-1. Choose the indicator according to the selected cycle (121°C or 134°C)
Place the clean material on the trays and distribute them evenly.
NOTE
In addition to causing problems during the sterilisation
process, failure to clean and remove residues can damage
the instruments and/or the steriliser.
Proceed as described to clean effectively:
1. Rinse the instruments under a jet of running water immediately
after use;
2. Separate metal instruments by material type (carbon steel,
stainless steel, brass, aluminium, chromium, etc.) to prevent
electrolytic oxidisation;
3. Wash with an ultrasonic cleaner containing a mixture of water
and germicidal solution, carefully following the manufacturers
recommendations. Alternatively, use a thermal disinfector.
4. For better results, use a detergent speciically for ultrasonic
cleaning, with a neutral pH.
NOTE
Solutions that contain phenol or quaternary ammonium
based compounds can corrode the instruments and the
metal parts of the ultrasonic equipment.
5. After washing, rinse the instruments thoroughly and check that
the residues have been completely removed. Repeat the washing
cycle or wash by hand if necessary.
4.5.1 Preparing the material
First of all, remember that when handling and moving contaminated
material, it is good practice to take the following precautions:
- Wear suitably thick rubber gloves and a face mask;
- Wash your already-gloved hands with a germicidal detergent;
- Always use a tray to transport instruments.
- Never transport then directly in your hand;
- To avoid the risk of contracting hazardous infections, protect you
hands from contact with any sharp or pointed parts;
- Immediately separate any items that must not be sterilised or that
cannot support the process;
- When you have inished handling the unsterile material, wash your
still-gloved hands thoroughly. All materials and/or instruments to
be sterilised must be perfectly clean and free of any kind of residue
(organic/inorganic deposits, paper fragments, cotton/gauze pads,
limescale, etc.).
NOTE
In addition to causing problems during the sterilisation process,
failure to clean and remove residues can damage the instruments
and/or the steriliser.
