Monitoring & QACâu 60 / 100
A department is setting its biological monitoring policy for a steam sterilizer used for routine loads. How frequently should a biological indicator be run?
a.Monthly, and after any repair
b.At least daily on each day the sterilizer is used, preferably in every load, and always in loads containing implants
c.Only in loads containing implants
d.Annually, as part of preventive maintenance
Giải thích
Biological monitoring at least once each day of use is the minimum expectation, with every-load monitoring recommended because it narrows the recall population if a failure occurs. Implant loads always require a biological indicator in a process challenge device, and the load is quarantined until the result is read. Monthly and annual intervals leave far too many loads unverified.
