STERILIZATION PROCEDURES
32
Warning
Sterilizer and trays will be hot
after cycle is run. Always wear
protective gloves and apron when
removing a processed load.
Protective gloves and apron
should also be worn when reloading
sterilizer following previous
operation.
Open door slowly at the end of a
liquid sterilization cycle. Do not
allow hot bottles to be jolted. This
can cause bottle explosions. Do
not move bottles if any boiling or
bubbling is present.
Allow bottles to cool before
attempting to move them from
sterilizer shelf or tray(s) to the
storage area.
Handling Sterilized Materials
Loads may be removed from the sterilizer at the end of the
drying cycle. (Liquids may be removed at the end of the sterilization
cycle.) Unwrapped items should be used immediately.
Any unwrapped items not used immediately cannot be considered
sterile after removal from the sterilizer chamber.
Date all wrapped packages and packs prior to storage.
Check the integrity of all wrapping materials prior to opening
and using wrapped or packed items; if the wrapping materials
are opened or torn, the instruments must be considered
potentially unsterile and should be re-sterilized prior to use.
Re-sterilize all wrapped packages and packs after one month
in storage.
