Sterilization Procedures 24 Warning Do not attempt to sterilize volatile or toxic substances. Serious injury or death could result. Caution Do not attempt to sterilize any object composed of materials which cannot withstand high temperatures (135°C or greater). Materials Appropriate For <strong>Steam</strong> Sterilization • Straight stainless steel instruments • Surgical stainless steel hinged instruments • Pouches of instruments • Carbon steel instruments (see special preparation instructions) • Air powered instruments made to be autoclaved • Needles • Syringes • Treatment trays • Heat resistant plastic items • Rubber gloves • Heat resistant rubber tubing • Heat resistant rubber sheeting • Glass slabs and beakers • Gauze • Sutures • Linen packs • Liquids, non-clinical • Other heat-resistant, immersible items Always check with the manufacturer of your supplies for specific instructions for sterilization.
Warning Thoroughly clean instruments before placing them in the sterilizer. Sterilizing items contaminated with blood or debris will impede sterilization and may result in unsterile instruments, which may cause personal injury or death. Warning Always wear protective gloves when handling soiled instruments to protect yourself from the possibility of serious infection. Clean gloved hands with a germicidal cleaner when finished handling soiled instruments. Caution Sterilizing items contaminated with blood or debris may cause staining or damage to the instruments or the sterilizer. Caution Use of soaking solutions containing phenols or quaternary ammonium compounds may cause corrosion of the instruments, trays and the stainless steel chamber. STERILIZATION PROCEDURES Instrument Cleaning Prior To Sterilization Transport soiled instruments to your cleanup area on a tray. Sort out any instruments unsuitable for sterilization (see list on page 24). Follow manufacturer's recommendations for cleaning and preparing any particular item. In the absence of manufacturer's specific instructions, clean instruments as follows: 1. Rinse instruments thoroughly with a hard stream of water to remove debris. 2. Sort instruments by their metallic composition. Do not mix instruments of different metals, as instrument damage will result. 3. Using either a fresh solution of detergent and distilled water or a germicide solution, wash instruments in an ultrasonic cleaner for five to ten minutes. Clean all instruments in an open position. Use a detergent or germicide with a neutral pH (7) specifically designed for use in an ultrasonic cleaner. Use new ultrasonic cleaning solution each day. 4. After cleaning, rinse instruments thoroughly in distilled or deionized water. Inspect to ensure that all debris has been removed. Repeat cleaning as necessary. If distilled or deionized water is unavailable and instruments are rinsed in tap water instead, all instruments should be dried before sterilizing to prevent staining. 5. Refer to manufacturer's recommendations for lubricating instruments after ultrasonic cleaning. Use a silicon lubricant which will not interfere with sterilization. 25
