b. Flash Sterilization
Flash sterilization can be accomplished in either a pre-vacuum or gravity
displacement type of sterilization unit. Flash sterilization in a gravity
displacement unit proceeds without a drying phase. We have validated flash
sterilization using a gravity displacement unit and the following conditions:
Temperature: 132.2 to 133.3 degrees C or 270 to 272 degrees F
Pressure: 1.85 bar or 27 psi
Exposure Time: 10 minutes
3. Trays should be positioned in the sterilizer so that there is adequate circulation
and penetration of steam, air removal and condensate drainage.
4. At the completion of the steam sterilization cycle, the endoscope holder should
remain untouched until adequately cooled.
B. General Care of Point Setter Surfaces –
1. Caution: Any form of grease should never be used on the Point Setter.
2. Care should be given to not touch black ball joints with your hands as there may be
some grease on your skin that can be transferred to the Point Setter.
3. The Point Setter is best cleaned by the use of pure alcohol. Operating rooms often
have individually packaged alcohol pads that can be rubbed on all of the surfaces
of the Point Setter.
4. If one is cleaning the black ball joints then it will be required to move the arm to
different positions to expose entire surface of black ball to the alcohol.
There are
One manual black ball joint
and
three pneumatic black ball joints
