SterilizationPregunta 36 de 100
Peel pouches are being loaded onto a sterilizer shelf. What is the correct placement?
a.Stacked flat, paper side up, no more than ten deep
b.Stacked flat, plastic side up, so condensate runs off the film
c.Laid flat and overlapping to maximize the number of pouches per shelf
d.Positioned on edge in a rack, paper surface facing the plastic surface of the next pouch
Explicación
Placing pouches on edge with paper facing plastic lets steam enter through the porous paper and lets condensate drain away, which also improves drying. Stacking pouches flat traps air and moisture between them and blocks the porous side. Overlapping pouches likewise prevents steam contact and is a common cause of wet packs and failed indicators.
