Prep, Packaging & StoragePregunta 82 de 100
What must be verified about a rigid sterilization container each time it is used?
a.That the container has been polished and is free of fingerprints
b.That filters are correct, unused, and properly seated; that valves, gaskets, latches, and the lid seal are intact; and that a tamper-evident lock is applied after assembly
c.That the container is completely airtight so no organisms can enter
d.That the container weighs less than 5 pounds when empty
Explicación
Rigid containers depend on intact filters, gaskets, and valves to allow sterilant in and keep contaminants out, so each of these is inspected before every use and single-use filters are replaced. A tamper-evident lock shows at the point of use that the container has not been opened since processing. Containers are deliberately not airtight, since steam must enter, and empty weight is not a use criterion.
