INSTRUMENT STERILIZER

• Sterilization is the process of rendering a material or medium free of all forms of life or viable microorganisms.
• A sterilizer (retort) is the unit operation in which food is heated at a high temperature and then held at that temperature for a period sufficient to kill the microorganisms of concern from the food product.
• Sterilization destroys all microorganisms on the surface of an article or in a fluid to prevent disease transmission associated with the use of that item
• Autoclaves sterilize instruments using pressure and steam. If you have a pressure-cooking pot, you can sterilize your tools in the same way that an autoclave does. Take your tools apart and clean them (see above). Then wrap them in 2 layers of non-woven paper or crepe paper and close with autoclave tape
• Steam sterilizers also are used in healthcare facilities to decontaminate microbiological waste and sharps containers
• It helps reduce infection risks, enhances patient safety, and maintains the ecological quality of the environment. Autoclave sterilization continues to be a crucial practice to ensure the preservation of the healthcare continuum and the good health of professionals and patients alike
• Sterilization kills or renders inactive all microbial organisms. The common methods used are steam heat, ethylene oxide gas or chemicals. Any item used for survival surgery, ie. instruments, catheters, flow probes, or electrodes and fluids used for flushing or injection must be sterilized.
