There is more to low temperature sterilization than pushing a button. Medical devices must be prepared properly, packaged correctly and sterilized all according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure a successfully sterilized item. Gain the secretes behind vaporized hydrogen peroxide sterilization that delivers the best outcomes.

Course Objectives

• Articulate the history and types of low-temperature sterilization processes
• Identify important considerations when selecting a low-temperature sterilization process
• Prepare for implementation of a low-temperature sterilization process

Marrying ANSI/AAMI ST90 Quality Management Systems (QMS) guidance with vaporized hydrogen peroxide sterility assurance guidance from ANSI/AAMI ST58 may seem impossible. See how these guidance’s work together to ensure sterile items every day, every cycle, the QMS way.

Course Objectives:

• Identify how sterility assurance promotes a hospital’s quality management system
• Create a sterility assurance process for vaporized hydrogen peroxide sterilization based on recommended practice

Low-temperature sterilization is a critical process used to sterilize temperature sensitive critical and semi-critical medical devices. Over the past 50 years, low-temperature sterilization has dramatically expanded in both use and modalities. Understanding the modalities of low-temperature sterilization will arm you with the information you need to make the right choice for your facility.
