3 ST 58 History Initial ST 58 document published in 1996: Safe Use and handling of Glutaraldehyde based products in health care facilities TIR 7: Chemical sterilants and high level disinfectants: A guide to selection and use ST58 (2005): Chemical Sterilization and High-Level Disinfection in Health Care Facilities Incorporated two previous documents in a user practice format following the steam sterilization in health care facilities document ST 58 (2013): Chemical Sterilization and High-Level Disinfection in Health Care Facilities Key Updates in ST 58 (2013): Updated workplace safety information, improved workplace design guidelines and expanded recommendations for personnel training Expansion of annexes to address new chemical sterilants / high -level disinfectants and processes Alignment with other AAMI health care facility documents Updated quality process recommendations and simplified product testing Section 1: ST 58 Scope In Scope: ST58 addresses selection and use of liquid chemical sterilants (LCSs)/high-level disinfectants (HLDs) and chemical sterilizers that have been cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use health care facilities Sections Include: Work area design Personnel considerations Criteria for selection Out of Scope: Decontamination and Preparation Safe and effective use Steam sterilization (see ANSI/AAMI ST79) Ethylene oxide sterilization (see ANSI/AAMI Storage and transport ST41) Chemical systems not cleared by the FDA at Quality control the time this document was published Reprocessing of single use medical devices Quality process improvement Reprocessing devices exposed to Prions, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) 3/11/2014 Annexes A - N 8 Section 2: Definitions and Abbreviations Decontamination: Use of physical or chemical means to remove, inactivate, or destroy blood borne pathogens on a surface or item to the point where they are no longer capable of transmitting infectious particles and the surface or item is rendered safe for handling, use, or disposal. Disinfection: Process that kills pathogenic and other microorganisms by physical or chemical means. High level: disinfection is a process that kills all microbial organisms but not necessarily large numbers of bacterial spores. Sterilization: Validated process used to render a product free from viable microorganisms. Processing area: Area of a health care facility where cleaning, disinfection, sterilization is performed. Chemical sterilant/high-level disinfectant (LCS/HLD):Chemical agent capable of rendering a product free of viable microorganisms. Includes both liquid and gaseous chemical sterilants. Liquid chemical sterilant (LCS): Chemical solution that has been validated to provide microbial kill adequate to obtain FDA clearance for a sterilization label claim. Chemical sterilization: Process, using a chemical agent, designed to render a product free of viable microorganisms. 3
4 Section 3: Work Area Design Considerations Section Key Points Traffic control, engineering controls, ergonomics, and proper equipment installation operation and maintenance necessary to safely use LCSs/HLDs. Designated, clean area separate from cleaning/decontamination or patient care areas Considerations for storage and disposal of LCSs/HLDs Traffic control, engineering controls.., ergonomics, and proper installation, operation, and maintenance of equipment can reduce...exposure of health care personnel, patients and visitors to chemical sterilants/high-level disinfectants.

Cleaning is a critical process step that when performed improperly can cause: Device damage/malfunction Inadequate disinfection/sterilization Toxicity from detergent residues Cleaning is a multi-step process 1. Manual or automated cleaning include the various sub-steps 2. Adequate rinsing with proper type and flow of water 3. Drying, inspection, verification Factors that impact cleaning process: IFU requirements Water quality AAMI TIR 34 provides a guideline including WQ for cleaning Cleaning chemistry Types and choice Variables for use Concentration, temperature, time Method Manual and/or automated Types of automated systems Maintenance on the equipment Procedures for specific devices Rinsing 5
6 Section 6 continued: Decontamination and Preparation of Instruments Cleaning Verification Cleaning effectiveness should be verified Visual inspection should always be performed under satisfactory light and magnification Visual alone may not be sufficient for assessing the effectiveness of the cleaning process. Cleaning Verification indicators for manual or automated process Recommended for consideration of use Automated equipment frequency - at least weekly preferably daily (ST 79) Method of controlling the process Quantitative indicators measure cleaning efficacy Qualitative indicators may measure temperature, time, chemistry concentration Section 7 : Safe and Effective Use The safety and performance characteristics of a gaseous chemical sterilization or LCS/HLD can General Considerations be categorized by: (a) microbial effectiveness, (b) effects on device materials..
