22 Risk Assessment Risk Assessment Organic residue as a type of surface change Optical alteration Rust and/or blood coloured deposits can often be seen Examples for origin and causes Operational residues (blood, protein, salt and drug residues) Operational residues due to mistakes in reprocessing programs (e.g. water quality, detergent) Interval between use and reprocessing is too long Water feed temperature being too high (> 50 C) in first rinse phase Risk Assessment Hygiene risk Danger of infections for patients Can lead to corrosion (blood contains chloride ions) Source: Instrument Reprocessing Reprocessing of Instruments to Retain Value. Working Group Instrument Reprocessing. 10th anniversary edition
23 Risk Assessment Risk Assessment Silicates as a type of surface change Optical alteration Yellowish-brown to blue-violet discolorations of various forms Examples for origin and causes Passage of silicon dioxide in the production of fully demineralized water Carry-over of detergent residues containing silicates into the final rinse of automated reprocessing due to insufficient intermediate rinsing Risk Assessment No corrosion Cosmetic effect No findings indicating a patient risk May make visual inspection difficult Source: Instrument Reprocessing Reprocessing of Instruments to Retain Value.

24 Overview: three possible reasons for discolouration 1. Reprocessing cycle Various actors 2. Typical contamination in medical environment Organic load 3. Discolouration of steriliser chamber walls - Some explanations 24
25 Discoloration of steriliser chamber walls further reasons Overview: reasons for discolouration on steriliser chamber walls Low quality of water/steam Rouging Chamber surface not in conformity to standards Residues of indicators and stickers Chemical aggression through insufficient chemicals for cleaning of chamber and trolleys Further reasons Picture 3: steriliser chamber wall 25
26 Chromoxide layer Iron Chromium Atmospheric oxygen Eisen 26
27 Danger for Chromoxide layer Iron Chromium Atmospheric oxygen 27
28 Chromium and iron ratio As a result: Ratio of chromium and iron is destroyed Chromium oxide layer has more chromium more corrosion resistant Chromium oxide layer has more iron more prone to corrosion Iron Chromium 28
29 Risk Assessment Risk Assessment Discolouration of steriliser chamber walls Optical alteration Red-brown to dark violet deposit Examples for origin and causes Low quality of water/steam Rouging Chamber surface not in conformity to standards Residues of indicators and stickers Chemical aggression through insufficient chemicals for cleaning of chamber and trolleys Risk Assessment Currently no findings indicating a patient risk May make visual inspection difficult Further investigation is needed 29
30 Summary In case of (visual) material changes think about the whole process The reason for reprocessing (contaminated instruments) is already an opportunity for discolouration Discolouration on equipment - further investigations about side effects (e.g. influence of steriliser chamber walls) are necessary Main goals: cleaned, disinfected and sterilised instruments and retention of instruments and equipment 30
