Prep, Packaging & Storage第 84 / 100 题
A facility uses event-related sterility. What does this mean?
a.Packages expire exactly 30 days after the sterilization date
b.Packages must be reprocessed at the end of each month regardless of condition
c.Packages remain sterile only while stored in a closed cabinet, and become nonsterile once moved to open shelving
d.A package is considered sterile until an event such as moisture, a tear, a broken seal, or contaminated handling compromises the barrier, regardless of elapsed time
解析
Event-related sterility recognizes that packaging integrity, handling, and storage conditions determine sterility rather than the passage of time, so staff inspect each package before use for wetness, holes, broken seals, and soiling. Time-related shelf life assigns an arbitrary expiration date and is now used mainly for products whose manufacturer specifies one. Storage furniture type affects risk and handling practice but does not by itself define the sterility approach.
