Together, we can make a difference.
Combine physical, chemical and biological indicators to verify sterilization exposure and efficacy.
There are three critical parameters for successful steam sterilization: time, temperature, and sterilant. (Saturated steam is the go-to sterilant for dental clinics around the world.) If any one of these variables is compromised, then the cycle will not be effective – and processed instruments may not be sterile.
- Physical Monitors: sterilizer recording or printout - were correct cycle parameters used?
- Chemical Indicators (CIs):
- Process indicator: tape or label placed on the pack exterior - was the pack exposed to the sterilization process?
- Integrating indicator: placed inside packs or individual load items - did the sterilant penetrate the pack? Were critical process variables attained?
- Biological Indicators (BIs): vial or strip with viable spores resistant to sterilization - did the sterilizer effectively kill microorganisms?
