Best Practice Monitoring for Sterile Processing Professionals

Sterile processing departments are faced with greater challenges than ever. Increasing demands for quick turnarounds. Pressure to streamline operations and cut costs. The need to keep policies and procedures in line with evolving standards. And of course, the growing expectation to help reduce the risks of surgical site infections and improve patient safety. 3M can help Sterile Processing professionals take on these challenges with a comprehensive approach to monitoring, record keeping, continuing education and technical support. Healthcare professionals in facilities of all kinds have trusted 3M sterilisation products for more than 60 years. We re ready with the tools and technologies to help you do what you do best.

We re a global leader in the manufacture, supply and continuing innovation of biological and chemical indicators for sterilisation monitoring. We have led the way in developing new technologies and techniques. And we have a comprehensive portfolio of products, services and expertise to help you maintain the highest sterilisation standards. Our Technical Service group is an integral part of our organisation. Staffed with experienced personnel with backgrounds in microbiology, chemistry and other related disciplines, they provide direct support to our customers. Drawing from our extensive experience in sterilisation, they are not only experts on product-related issues but also problem solvers with the clinical understanding and knowledge of relevant standards to advise you and rally the resources required to get your questions answered. Organisations in more than 60 countries already depend on 3M for innovative products, new ideas and creative solutions to help reduce the risk of healthcare associated infections. We ll work with you to meet the needs of your organisation from the high volume of large facilities to the special needs of day surgery centres and primary care clinics. 3

Monitoring tools verify the outcome of the Sterilise step and supply safeguards to the Issue/Use step, so patients are not exposed to non sterile medical devices. The threat of surgical site infections (SSIs) caused by non-sterile devices makes following every step in sterilisation process monitoring absolutely critical. The fact that your instruments have been run through the steriliser does not guarantee they re sterile. Many things can adversely affect the sterilisation process, including: Improper loading or packaging Steriliser malfunction Incorrect time or temperature Incomplete air removal Sterilant failing to reach the centre of the pack Steam quality issues The 5 Steps to Sterile There are five essential steps in instrument in processing: 1. CLEAN & DISINFECT Cleaning and disinfecting is critical to the sterilisation process. Soil CANNOT be sterilised, so the presence of soil or organic material on instruments reduces the effectiveness of disinfection or sterilisation. If your instruments need to be high level disinfected, you must check the concentration of the high level disinfectant in the processor/soaking tray to ensure it s at or above the minimum effective concentration. When timelines are tight and ORs are requesting quick turnarounds, there may be pressure to cut corners in the cleaning process. Failure to thoroughly clean and disinfect items for sterilisation, however, can jeopardise the entire process. 5. ISSUE OR USE Finally, upon request, items are retrieved from storage, checked again to ensure the external Chemical Indicator has reached its endpoint, and then issued for use. Once in the OR, the Internal Chemical Indicators are checked to ensure that the sterilisation process was sufficient to penetrate inside of the pack. 4

2. PREP & PACK When preparing items for sterilisation, instruments should be dried and inspected for cleanliness and functionality. Multipart instruments should be disassembled. Instruments should be held open and unlocked. Whether using sterilisation wrappers, paper-plastic pouches or rigid container systems, it s important to properly place Internal and External Chemical Indicators to effectively monitor sterilant penetration and other exposure conditions. 3. STERILISE Next, instruments are exposed to the actual sterilant (steam, ethylene oxide, etc.). Successful sterilisation depends on sterilant contact with all surfaces for the prescribed time. To ensure effective sterilisation, the process must be monitored routinely through equipment displays and printouts and also through proper selection and use of Biological and Chemical Indicators. 4. STORE Packages are removed from the steriliser and quality system documentation is completed. Appropriate storage is required to ensure the integrity of the packaging and the continued sterility of the packages. 5

Implement Standards Practice with the 3M Core Four for Steam Sterilisation Equipment Monitoring Is your steriliser actually doing its job? That s the role of Equipment Monitoring devices such as Bowie-Dick type tests, which detect air leaks, inadequate air removal, poor steam penetration and the presence of non-condensable gases any of which can compromise sterility. Use daily before the first processed load. Practical Application guidance The Bowie-Dick test pack should always be run in a warm steriliser to avoid false failures. Place the Bowie-Dick test pack on the bottom shelf of the cart or rack, over the drain, in an empty steriliser. Recommended 3M Product 3M Electronic Test System (ETS) provides you with more information than just a Chemical Bowie & Dick Test packs Load Monitoring Load Monitoring is the process by which a load is monitored and released based on the result of a Biological Indicator (BI) in a Process Challenge Device (PCD). Only a BI can detect the actual lethality to microbial spores in a sterilisation cycle. Practical Application guidance A positive control should be incubated each day a test BI is incubated in each 3M Attest Auto-reader or Incubator. If a test BI is positive, and the cause of the failure is not immediately identifiable, all items from that load and all items from loads processed since the last load with a negative BI result should be recalled and reprocessed. Recommended 3M Product 3M Attest Super Rapid Readout Biological Indicator technology provides results in 1 hour. 6

Pack Monitoring Packs, trays, containers and peel pouches must be monitored internally to ensure proper sterilisation. Internal pack monitoring with Chemical Indicators verifies that the sterilant has penetrated to where the Chemical Indicator is placed in the pack, and it confirms that specific exposure conditions have been met. Practical Application guidance For steam sterilisation, place a pack monitor in the geometric centre of each pack, peel pouch or tray. In rigid containers, place a pack monitor in two opposite corners of each level. In multi-level wrapped containers supplied by the manufacturer, place a pack monitor in the centre of each level. If a pack monitor fails, that package should not be used. If the BI from the load was negative, you could decide to issue the remaining packs from the load. If the BI results were not available when the pack failure was discovered, the load contents should be quarantined until the BI results are known. Recommended 3M Product 3M Comply (SteriGage ) Type 5 Integrating Indicators have easy to interpret moving front style ink technology. Exposure Monitoring How do you know for sure whether packs have been exposed to the sterilisation process? Exposure monitoring products assure the health care professional at a glance whether the pack has been exposed without having to open the pack. Practical Application guidance Use an external Chemical Indicator on the outside of each package. On the exterior of each packaged reusable medical device an external indicator must be used. Recommended 3M Product 3M Comply Indicator Tapes are lead free, solvent free and latex free. 7
