Time or dose required to achieve inactivation of 90% of a population of the test microorganism under stated conditions. The larger the D Value the more resistant the microorganism is to destruction.
Any object that can penetrate skin, including to but not limited to, needles, scalpel, scalpel blades, broken glass,
sterility assurance level (SAL): Probability of a single viable microorganism occurring on an item after sterilization. SAL is normally expressed as 10-n. A SAL of 10-6 means that there is less than or equal to one chance in a million that a single viable microorganism is present on a sterilized item
Item designed to constitute a defined resistance to a sterilization process and used to assess performance of the process- process challenge device
Written recommendations provided by the manufacturer that provide instructions for operation and safe and effective use of its device.instructions for use
Sterilization method that involves the shortest possible time between a sterilized item’s removal from the sterilizer and its aseptic transfer to the sterile field. Immediacy implies that a sterilized item is used during the procedure for which it was sterilized and in a manner that minimizes its exposure to air and other environmental contaminants. A sterilized item intended for immediate use is not stored for future use nor held from one case to another. Immediacy, rather than being defined according to a specific time frame, is established through the critical analysis and expert collaboration of the health care team.
Approximately one tenth of a foot-candle.
chemical indicators designed to react to all critical variables, with the stated values having been generated to be equivalent to, or exceed, the performance requirements given in the ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11138 series for BIs. (integrating indicators
Removal of contamination from an item to the extent necessary for further processing or for the intended use.
