NEW Infection Control Guidelines for 2010 as per the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of
Ontario, Canada |
|
“Biological
indicators (BIs or spore tests) are the most accepted means for
monitoring of sterilization, because they directly assess the
procedure's effectiveness in killing the most resistant
micro-organisms. The spores used are more resistant and present in
greater numbers than the common microbial contaminants found on
patient care items. Therefore, an inactivated BI signifies that
other potential pathogens in the load have been killed.
Include a BI each
day for each sterilizer is used.
In addition, if a load contains implantable devices, it must be
monitored with a BI, and these items should be quarantined until the
test results are known. Follow the manufacturer's directions
concerning the appropriate placement of the BI in the sterilizer.”
