Sanitization Non critical devices should be privy which disinfection method? Rigid, flexible, and semi-rigid Name the three different types of endoscopic scopes: High-level disinfection According to Spauldings classification of medical devices, a semi critical item requires which form of disinfection? As it enters the jacket In a non-tabletop sterilizer, a gauge on the main steam line, usually located at the back of the sterilizer, tells you the steam pressure: Minimize contaminates One reason for adding chemicals to the boiler feed water is to Chemical Monitoring The Bowie-dick is considered which type of monitoring process? Weekly Routine biological testing of steam sterilizers should be performed no less than Monitored with a biological indicator All loads containing implantable devices should be Geometric center of the load Unless otherwise directed by the sterilizer manufacturer, the ethylene oxide process challenge device (bi test pack) is placed in the: Stainless steel instruments Which of the following is compatible with Hydrogen peroxide ozone sterilization? At least daily Biological monitoring of the hydrogen peroxide-ozone sterilization process should be performed Cleaning "The removal of contamination from an item to the extent necessary for further processing or for its intended use" is the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instruments definition of which of the following Air exhausted directly to the outside Negative pressure refers to Powered Equipment When sorting items in the decontamination area, which of the following would require manual cleaning? Immunity The ability of the body to specifically counteract antigens refers to Measles Which of the following is not a disease spread by droplets?

Time immersed, time taken out, temperature of the solution and initials of the technician who handled the instrument When taking an instrument out of a HLD, what should be notated on the record log? At least 1 in How many inches of space should there be between the chamber walls and packages to prevent scorching of package materials? 90% What is a log reduction of 1? 68-73 degrees/ 50%-35% The temperature/ humidity range in prep and pack should be: 3 to 3 1/2 minutes @ 270 or 273 with no drying time. What is the cycle for specified for a Bowie-Dick test? Involves the use of external chemical indicators to verify that a load has been subjected to a sterilization process; the use of internal indicators to verify that individual packages have been exposed to necessary conditions for sterilization. Chemical monitoring: Verified that the sterilization conditions within the load were adequate to kill a known number of bacterial spores. Biological monitoring Biological monitoring - is the only way to measure the lethality of a sterilization process. Geobacillus stearothermophilus The spore that is most resistant to steam sterilization is Indicator tape Type 1 process indicators Bowie-dick Type 2: indicators for specific tests Single-variable indicators Type 3 Type 4 indicators Multi-variable indicators Integrating indicators Type 5 Emulating indicators Type 6 Biological monitoring Verifies that the sterilization conditions within the load were adequate to kill a known number of bacterial spores. 60-65 degrees/ 30-60% Decon temperature and humidity: 68-73 degrees/ideally 50% no less than 35% Prep & pack temperature and humidity: 68-73 degrees/ 30%-60% Sterilization temperature and humidity: 68-75 degrees/35%-70% Sterile Storage temperature and humidity: 60-65 degrees/ 30-60% HLD area temperature and humidity: 4 per hour Air exchanges for sterile storage? HLD According to Spauldings classification of medical devices, a semi critical item requires which form of disinfection? Light-weight items Paper-plastic pouches can be used for Dwell time Critical parameters for heat sealing paper-plastic pouches include temperature, pressure, and In a perforated metal mesh basket Prior to packaging, large instrument sets should be placed Box lock During inspection, debris is most often found in which part of a hemostat?

Sterilization Which of the following is it an element of a distribution system Par-level Which type of inventory distribution system requires the use of a pre-determined inventory list? Par-level system The computerized locker supply system is a variation of the Tracking systems Bar-coding of instrument sets is an integral part of outdates Stock rotation and frequent evaluation of stock levels will minimize the need for reprocessing and prevent 70% The relative humidity in sterile storage area should not exceed On the middle shelves Frequently used supplies are generally stored Time immersed, time taken out, temp of solution and initials of tech who handled instrument When taking an instrument out of a HLD what should be notated on the record log? At least 1 in How many inches of space between chamber wall and package? 90% Why is a log reduction of 1? Direct friction ion or oxidizing chemicals How do you clean biofilm of an instrument Contained in covered cart How should you transport soiled patient care equipment When gas bubbles implode in an ultrasonic cleaner What is cavitation 18 inches How many inches should sprinklers be on top shelf 8-10 inches How many inches from floors should medical devices be kept At least 2 inches; temp differences can cause moisture to condense on surface inside walls How many inches from outside walls must shelving be and why The expiration Before opening minimum effective concentration test strip, what is the first thing you should check on the bottle? The heat will melt the plastic and damage the pouch contents Why can't you put plastic-plastic pouches in to the Steam Sterilizer? Call the OR and tell them that you have to completely reprocess the instrument. The OR calls for an instrument that they need right now. You go to get the peel pack from sterile storage and it drops on the floor and it opens. This was the only one on the shelf. Ethically what should you do?
