Techniques of Sterilization

4.9  Sterilization of

Implantable Devices

A healthcare facility must develop adequate monitoring practices for
the sterilization of implantable devices. Refer to AORN
recommended practices for more information. 

Sterilization of implantable devices by a healthcare facility must be
monitored:

•

When sterilizing an implantable device, 

always

 place a

biological monitor in the load.

•

Following sterilization, 

implant must be quarantined

 until the

biological monitor has been incubated and read by a qualified
person.
