Preparation before Sterilization
The purpose of packaging and wrapping of items for sterilization is to
provide an effective barrier against sources of potential contamination
to maintain sterility and to permit aseptic removal of the contents of the
pack. Packaging and wrapping materials should permit the removal of
air from the pack, penetration of the sterilizing water vapor into the
pack and removal of the sterilizing vapor.
The basic principle determining the size, mass and contents of
instrument and hollowware packs is that the contents are sterile and
dry immediately on completion of the drying cycle and removal of the
pack from the sterilizer chamber.
Instruments to be sterilized must be clean, free from any residual
matter, such as debris, blood, pads, or any other material. Such
substances may cause damage to the contents being sterilized and to
the sterilizer.
1.
Immediately after use, clean instruments thoroughly to dispose of any
residue.
2.
Follow the instrument manufacturer instructions.
3.
It is recommended to wash instruments with an ultrasonic cleaner,
using detergent and mineral-free water.
4.
Launder textile wraps prior to reuse.
5.
After
cleaning,
rinse
instruments
for
30
seconds.
(Follow
manufactu
rer’s instructions on the use of products for cleaning and
lubricating instruments after using the ultrasonic cleaner).
6.
Materials, including materials used for inner wraps, shall be compatible
with the item being packed and the sterilizing method selected.
7.
Use single-use wraps once only and discard after use.
8.
If the unit is equipped with a printer, verify if a new roll of paper is
necessary.
9.1
Instruments
1.
Before placing an instrument onto the sterilizer baskets, ensure that
instruments that are not constructed of the same metal (stainless steel,
carbon steel, etc.) are separated and placed in a different place.
2.
Place empty containers upside down to prevent accumulation of water.
3.
In case carbon steel instruments are placed in stainless steel baskets,
the baskets should be lined with a towel or paper wrap before placing
the instruments on the baskets. There should be no direct contact
between the carbon steel and the stainless-steel baskets.
4.
All instruments must be sterilized in an open position.
5.
Place a sterilization indicator strip in each basket.
6.
Place instruments with ratchets opened and unlocked or clipped on the
first ratchet position.
