The assurance that a product is correctly sterilized in the medical or pharmaceutical field usually depends on optimum cleaning or disinfection prior to sterilization. Poor cleaning or disinfection before sterilization can significantly impact the result.
The disinfection process is a key component prior to sterilizing surgical instruments, for example
If disinfection is poor quality, sterilization may be severely impaired
For some products such as. e.g. bedpans or catheters, disinfection is sufficient
Rinsing/cleaning:
The cleaning and disinfecting equipment increases the temperature to 90 °C, for example, inside the chamber by adding water (usually via spraying systems).
Disinfection:
The defined temperature is maintained for a period of approx. 60 seconds in order to kill surface germs.
Drying:
The products remain in the chamber for a short time in order to lose most of the residual water.
The essentials
Placement of the data logger measuring tips on the surfaces of the products
Measurement must be reproducible
The user must be able to prove whether the degree of disinfection (A0 value) has been reached or not
