Sterilization in the dental office is the most important place for a new assistant to learn and master. Running the ultrasonic and autoclave is a simple task, but takes small steps to be sure everything is perfectly sterile in the end. Of course follow with a open mind and blend it into your office protocol.

The dirty secret was wearing the exact same glove 😵‍💫

Everything was correct, except for the paper side up, refer to manufacture instructions of the M11/M9 , paper side down, according to Mid Mark.

@fallenharvest2403 Год назад

Im a sterile processing tech in a dental office that does extraction and implant surgeries, is there a detergent that you use specifically?

@DentalThings Год назад

The blue enzymatic cleaner in the ultrasonic helps with lifting the human bits left on the instrument after a bloody procedures. Since blood can get into the hinges and hard to clean areas, the them being submerged in the ultrasonic greatly helps with preparing them for the autoclave. Just be sure to rinse them off after they are done being shaken.

@uthaw0ng Год назад

Do you clean the autoclave regular? is it a specific markerpen?

@DentalThings Год назад

To clean the autoclave, there is a special cleaner for the water tank and tubes inside that removes debris. For the inside of the chamber you pull out all the racks and scrub them down with whatever cleaner, just be sure to wash it all off after. Cleaning typically happens once a month or depending on how much use has happened.

You wore the exact same gloves!

@DentalThings 5 месяцев назад

As in like not using utility gloves, or as in going from pre cleaning ultrasonic to prepackaging.

@scoutkids614 4 месяца назад

@@DentalThings I know, but acoording to CDC, that can cause cross contamination. As blood-borne pathogens can form on the instruments and they could become unclean CDC also says all organic matter must be remove from the instrument before High Level Sterilization. Good Video and did help, just remeber to swtich gloves.

The Manufacturers Instructions for Use for the MidMark M11 Sterilizer specifically states the correct way to load pouches is paper side down. It is not advisable to deviate from their directions regardless of the "we’ve always done it this way”. If a inspection authority saw this they would fail you.

@DentalThings 11 месяцев назад

That is true that certain machines state paper up or down. That's why it's open for debate because there is not just one system that rules them all.

@amybennett6861 10 месяцев назад

Would you not agree that steam rises? Properly sealed pouches will expand with the steam going through the paper inflating the pouch. When they dry the water will absorb through the paper. Would you dry your lunch dishes by putting them on a piece of Saran wrap or a paper towel🤷‍♀️Let’s forget we’ve always done it this way and read the Midmark directions or hey! Common sense may even prevail😊

I wouldn't trust your VISUAL INSPIRATION!!!🙄NO WAY!!! Why didn't you whipe the other 2 instrunts, or brush/wash them all first??? I'm sure there are micro-debris on them 🙄👀🦷 Are you just " sterilizing" the instruments AND the micro- debris ??!😳🤓👎
