SterilizationCâu 42 / 100
Which practice regarding IUSS and implants is correct?
a.Implants may be routinely processed by IUSS as long as the case is urgent
b.IUSS of implants should be avoided; if unavoidable in a documented emergency, a rapid-readout biological indicator with a Class 5 integrating indicator is run and the event is documented
c.Implants may be processed by IUSS if a Class 1 process indicator is placed on the tray
d.Implants processed by IUSS require no biological monitoring because the cycle is unwrapped
Giải thích
Because a failed implant sterilization carries severe patient consequences, implants should be sterilized in a full terminal cycle and quarantined until the biological indicator result is known. In a documented emergency, IUSS may be used with a process challenge device containing a rapid-readout biological indicator and a Class 5 integrating indicator, and the exception must be recorded. Convenience or urgency alone does not justify the practice, and an external process indicator only shows exposure.
