Sterilizers
A sterilizer can achieve the destruction of all pathogenic organisms using heat, pressure or radiation. International hygiene guidelines recommend using autoclaves, which perform sterilization of medical devices and instruments with saturated steam. Autoclaves are widely used in dentistry, medicine, podiatry, tattooing and veterinary medicine. The units for steam sterilization vary in size and function depending on the instruments intented to be sterilized..
Hospital Items which can be sterilized in steam steriliser:
- Stainless steel
- Metallic medical tools, surgical Instruments
- Contaminated solid items
- Plastic pipette tips (inside appropriate biohazard beds)
- Polypropylene (PP secondary containers) and polycarbonate (PC) plastics (keep containers and bags open so that the steam can penetrate them)
- Biological tissue culture flasks and plates
- Media Solutions
- Glassware (Pyrex, Pyrex type materials, or type I borosilicate glass)
- Paper (if placed inside a biohazardous autoclave waste bag)
- Stainless steel
- Latex gloves, vinyl (inside biohazardous autoclave waste bags)
- Hospital linens, textile materials
Why hospitals should use imported good quality steam sterilizers only ?
- Only few imported sterilisers can give uniform temperature with proper steam penetration
- To Check Steam steriliser quality Class 2 indicator should be used .A commercially available Bowie-Dick-type test sheet should be placed in the centre of the pack. The test pack should be placed horizontally in the front, bottom section of the sterilizer rack, near the door and over the drain, in an otherwise empty chamber and run at 134°C for 3.5 minutes. The test is used each day the vacuum-type steam sterilizer is used, before the first processed load
- Local sterilisers take 5 to 7 mins to pass the test and indicator colour not changed uniformly.
