For sterilization quality assurance, CDC Guidelines advise the use of three components:1. Physical monitors such as temperature, pressure and length of cycle using gauges on sterilizer. New sterilizers feature print-outs for each cycle.2. Chemical ink monitors (external and internal) for every package and every load.3. Biological monitors (spore tests) weekly.
ProChek S is specifically engineered for use with standard steam sterilizers (gravity and pre-vac). It is not suitable for monitoring chemical vapor “Chemiclaves”, dry heat or STATIM® pulse sterilizers.
Do not release the load of instruments for use. Check the physical controls (temperature, cycle time, etc.) and print out if available. Verify that correct cycle time, temperature and pressure are in use.Determine if the sterilizer is overloaded. Evaluate how items are loaded. Packages placed paper to paper or stacked flat instead of on edge…
