Methods of sterilisation and its control, methods of higher degree of disinfection, methods of disinfection and its control
A. STERILISATION
Instruments, appliances and articles intended to be sterilised and pre-sterilised shall be used in accordance with the approved instructions. An integral part of sterilisation is pre-sterilisation preparation of articles, control of the sterilisation process and sterilised material, monitoring and recording of the set parameters by showing and registering devices incorporated in the steriliser and checking the effectiveness of sterilisation by non-biological and biological indicators. Each sterilisation cycle shall be documented.
The operator is responsible for the quality of sterilisation media required by the manufacturer of the sterilisation apparatus. Sterilisation is carried out by the CAP. The central sterilisation is the responsibility of the worker who completed the post-graduate specialisation in the field.
Only authorised repairers perform the sterilisation equipment, repairs and periodic service.
I. Pre-sterilisation preparation
All tools and equipment used shall be considered to be contaminated. If intended for repeated use, they shall be decontaminated immediately after use in the dishwasher or manually.
The cleaning is carried out in washing machines in an acid, alkaline or enzymatic medium. Disinfection is performed thermically at temperatures above 90 ° C for 10 minutes or thermochemically using a prescribed disinfectant at 60 ° C for 20 minutes.
Manual washing of tools and equipment takes place only after they have been disinfected in a device with viral effectiveness.
Preparations and procedures for pre-sterilisation preparation shall be chosen in such a way as not to harm the treated material. Water rinsing will remove any residues of the substances used.
Cleaning by ultrasonic frequency 35 kHz is used to supplement cleaning after previous hand or machine washing and disinfection.
