Today what we're gonna do is the cold chemical sterilization performance
and what that entails is scrubbing and cleaning the instrument
placing it also in cold sterilization
and then taking it and put in any on to a simulated
sterile field. Let's go ahead and get started
I'm gonna go ahead apply my PPE which is my mask,
my gloves, my gown, and my goggles.
Picking up my instrument -- if it is a hinged instrument you wanna make sure
that it is open and scrub all the little
crevices real well,
scrubbing and under running water, rinse it
under the running water and then
check to see if it needs a lubricant in the hinged area,
and if so go ahead and spray. Leave your instrument here to dry
remove my gloves,
and wash my hands.
Now my instrument is dry
I go ahead and I apply my gloves again, pick up my instrument unhinged again
and place it into your call chemical sterilization
making sure that you do not dip your fingers
into the chemical. I would leave it in here per
manufacturer's recommendation. Each manufacturer has a different length of
time.
Go ahead remove your gloves and wash your hands
from that point and now or gonna do is we're going to simulate that we're gonna
set up a sterile field
after you open the sterile field you are not allowed to talk over the sterile
field
are after you set it up as well as
when you're transporting the instrument
to the sterile field its
can
when you do transfer your instrument
over to the sterile field make sure that when you come up
and out the transfer area
you do not touch the sides the instrument
sure you prints
with
think
and that completes Michael come call sterilization
performance
