They are in Decontam and you may not want them to leave that area. 4
5 Automatic Cleaning Observations of Machine Operations / Condition - Occlusion of Spray Arms - Nozzle Directions - Freedom of Movement of Spinner Arms - Instrument rack Coupler alignment - Staining, scaling of insider of chamber - Clean screens, wipe down equipment - Make sure the light in the washer is working - Is the cleaning solution being delivered properly - Daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, monitoring needs to be done Keep a Record of all results / Record in a book Document the Best cycle settings Keep a copy if they change Testing Devices Temperature / Sonics Temperature - Stick on single use thermometer or digital With modern washers, water temperature is typically the key source of thermal disinfection The level of disinfection, time & temperature to achieve that level differs between brands of Washers Sonics - Tests Cavitation When the ultrasonic cleaner is working correctly SonoCheck will change color Other devices on market also Varying color indicates a possible bad generator; you can go old school and use a piece of aluminum foil 4 4 Testing Devices: Washers Follow IFU for use and what to do if they do not pass 5 5 5
6 Post wash Tests What is ATP? ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is present in all organic material, and is the universal unit of energy used in all living cells. ATP is produced and/or broken down in metabolic processes In all living things. The luminometer uses bioluminescence i to detect t residual ATP as an indicator of surface cleanliness. The presence of ATP on a surface indicates improper cleaning and the presence of contamination. This implies a potential for the surface to harbor and support bacterial growth. 6 6 Infection Prevention and Doing the Right Thing Discuss Infection Prevention and the critical role of the Sterile Processing professional Discuss the importance of record keeping and Joint Commissions expectations Discuss Doing the Right Thing: Morals and Ethics Jeff O Brien, CRCST Sterile Processing -8 years Officer of IAHCSMM Cascade Chapter, Portland, OR Education consultant to M 7 7 Infection Prevention Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) account for an estimated.7 million infections and 99,000 associated deaths each year. The number one way to prevent these infections is hand hygiene, according to the CDC and the World Health Organization (WHO). Use of soap and water is the best method if heavily soiled. Use of antiseptic hand rub is appropriate if not heavily soiled, per AORN and AAMI standards. 8 8 M 0. All All Rights Reserved. 6

9 Immediate Use Steam Sterilization (IUSS) What s Happening? Cynthia Spry Independent Consultant MA, MS, RN, CNOR, CBSPDT Education consultant to M 5 5 IUSS What is new? Name change Position paper The focus - More CS involvement - New practice initiatives 6 6 IUSS What is not new? Little documented correlation to surgical site infection Appropriate use guidelines - AAMI -AORN - CDC 7 7 9
10 IUSS Some clarifications Historically IUSS has mostly been accomplished using a gravity sterilization cycle Early OR sterilizers were gravity sterilizers These were used to flash items Came to be called flash sterilizer or flash autoclave More appropriate name would have been gravity sterilizer used to flash items 8 8 IUSS Some clarifications, Cont. Over time gravity sterilizers in ORs were replaced with sterilizers that could be set to run a gravity sterilization cycle OR a dynamic air removal cycle (pre-vacuum) However until recently, gravity cycles mostly used for IUSS - Rapid readout in gravity can be accomplished in hour (now even less time 0 minutes) - Great for implants Many small surgery facilities still have gravity only sterilizers (table top types) 9 9 IUSS Some clarifications, Cont. Joint Commission issued an Update paper about short cycles which led to: - Multiple society endorsed paper on IUSS - Focus on IUSS during JC survey - Initiatives in the practice setting to address IUSS 0 0 0
11 Available at 5&terms=Immediate%0use%0steam% 0sterilization OR Google: Multi-Society statement endorses process for immediate-use steam sterilization (formerly flash sterilization Practice Initiatives Some Clarification IUSS can be accomplished in either gravity or dynamic air removal cycles Dynamic air removal cycles are more efficient at air removal Gravity and dynamic air removal cycles must provide the same level of sterility - (one type of cycle does not make something more sterile than another) Practice Initiatives Some Clarifications, Cont. Many facilities had their OR sterilizers switched from running a gravity cycle to running a dynamic air removal cycle. USE OF THIS CYCLE DOES NOT MEAN We are no longer flashing. Joint Commission is concerned with excessive use and improper process, not whether or not you use an IUSS process, if appropriate.
12 Key Considerations Not as a substitute for inventory Not for convenience Cleaned according to IFU NO SHORT CUTS or inappropriate resources - (only shortcut with IUSS is dry time) If sterilizer permits, use a container not an open pan. - Container FDA clearance for IUSS Run dynamic air removal cycle if possible (check IFU) and follow IFU for cycle parameters 4 4 Key Considerations, Cont. Policy for when appropriate Procedure for the process NO STORAGE: - Not even until end of shift or end of day - Regardless of assurances unless written FDA clearance for limited storage Document, document, document Ensure staff knowledge and staff competency 5 5 Resources Association of perioperative Registered Nurses (AORN) Recommended practices for sterilization.

13 An Industry Panel Answers YOUR Questions 7 7 Ask The Expert Panel A Loaner Company is asking that I send trays back Sterile, and their paperwork says this is federal law. Isn t washer decontamination adequate? 8 8 Ask The Expert Panel If a sterile processing area in a surgery center does not have a washer-disinfector, should the staff wear gloves when putting trays together on the clean side? 9 9
14 Ask The Expert Panel Please advise hospital room requirements (ventilation, negative pressure and separate room) as it relates to High level Disinfection - GUS station with Hood / use of Cidex OPA. Can GUS stations be in patient procedure areas? Ask The Expert Panel Peel pouches are not to be placed inside wrapped instrument sets for steam sterilization. Does the same recommendation apply to low temperature gas-plasma? Do you write on the paper or plastic side of a peel pouch? How do you place peel pouches in the autoclave? 4 4 Ask The Expert Panel We have been doing verification of our trays in SPD, including Loaner sets. Do we have to run every tray, or can we just do one similar type tray from each of the companies? 4 4 4
15 Ask The Expert Panel What is the OSHA standard for transporting contaminated instruments from the operating room and ancillary departments? 4 4 Ask The Expert Panel Should laparoscopic instruments be completely disassembled for sterilization? Can instrument milk be applied in Prep & Pack? Is stacking reusable rigid containers in the sterilizer an acceptable practice? What are the official rules for when to take loads out of the autoclave? Ask The Expert Panel In regards to various companies Instructions for Use, are there any steps being taken to encourage manufacturer s to standardize sterilization parameters, whenever possible?
16 Ask The Expert Panel Where can I get a list of sterilization guidelines for reprocessing single-use devices that have been validated for reuse? Are floor grade (i.e. Pakistan) instruments all single-use devices, and is there any documentation, such as from AAMI or AORN, on reprocessing these instruments? Thank you!
