4 Cleaning Cleaning is the removal of foreign material (e.g., soil, and organic material) from objects and is normally accomplished using water with detergents or enzymatic products. Thorough cleaning is required before high-level disinfection and sterilization because inorganic and organic materials that remain on the surfaces of instruments interfere with the effectiveness of these processes. Ref: CDC Guideline for Disinfection and Sterilization in Healthcare Facilities W. Rutala, D. Weber and HICPAC. p.36 If the medical device is not effectively cleaned, sterilant cannot penetrate the material contaminating the item and sterilization will not occur.

16 Biological Indicators AAMI ST79 Rationale: The use of BIs provides evidence of efficacy by challenging the sterilizer with a large number of highly resistant bacterial spores. Biological monitoring provides the only direct measure of the lethality of a sterilization cycle. Test each type of cycle with a BI PCD ANSI/AAMI ST79:2010 & A1:2010 & A2:2011 & A3:2012 & A4:2013, Definition 2.7, Section M All Rights Reserved 46 Process Challenge Device (PCD) Definition Item designed to constitute a defined resistance to a sterilization process and used to assess performance of the process. * Representative of load and creates the greatest challenge Equal to or greater than the most difficult item to sterilize Placed in most difficult area in sterilizer for the sterilant to penetrate Example: PCD for IUSS Examples of PCDs for Terminal Sterilization *ANSI/AAMI ST79:2010 & A1:2010 & A2:2011 & A3:2012 & A4:2013, Section M All Rights Reserved 47 Sterilizers larger than 2 cubic feet Routine Efficacy Testing BI PCD Use a commercially available disposable, FDA cleared BI PCD, or AAMI 16 towel pack Full load on bottom shelf over drain ANSI/AAMI ST79:2010 & A1:2010 & A2:2011 & A3:2012 & A4:2013, Section M All Rights Reserved 48 16

Gravity or Dynamic-air-removal? What s the difference? The reusable medical device manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that the device can be effectively cleaned and sterilized. The written IFU of the device manufacturer should always be followed. IUSS Cycles Unless a device manufacturer specifically recommends the use of gravity cycles, dynamic air removal cycles should be the cycle of choice.
