Storage Conditions
Store sterile devices in a dry, clean and dust-free environment at a
moderate temperature of 41°F (5°C) –104°F (40°C).
Maintenance Procedures:
Improper, ineffective and insufficient maintenance can reduce the life
of an instrument and will invalidate the instrument's warranty.
Protect Instruments: The use of deionized water, careful preliminary
cleaning, use of neutralized pH solutions, adherence to manufacturer's
instructions and visual inspection, will help to keep instruments
performing accurately and free of stains.
Certain compounds are highly corrosive to stainless steel and will cause
serious damage. Instruments should never be exposed to:
Aqua regia
•
Iodine
•
Ferric chloride
•
The following substances should be avoided whenever possible; rinse with
copious amounts of water immediately if instruments are inadvertently
exposed to any of the following substances:
Aluminum chloride
•
Mercury chloride
•
Barium chloride
•
Carbolic acid
•
Potassium permanganate
•
Bichloride of mercury
•
Chlorinated lime
•
Any kind of corrosion will lead to rust on steel. Rust particles can be
transferred from one instrument to another, therefore, remove corroding
instruments from service to prevent formation of rust on other instruments.
Protect sharp cutting edges and fine working ends of inserts during all
maintenance procedures. Avoid loading heavy items on top of delicate and
hollow instruments.
Diagnosing Spots and Stains: It is common for instruments to become
stained or spotted. Adhering to proper technique during cleaning and
sterilizing procedures will prevent most staining occurrences. The
following identifies some of the various instrument-related problems
hospitals may encounter.
Brown Stains: Detergents containing polyphosphates may dissolve
•
copper elements in the sterilizer resulting in brown stains. A dull
blue or brown stain is the result of oxidation on the surface.
Black Stains: Black stains may be the result of contact with
•
ammonia.
Sulfuric acid
•
Hydrochloric acid
•
Potassium thiocyanate
•
Calcium chloride
•
Saline
•
Sodium hypochlorite
•
Dakin's solution
•
Stannous chloride
•
Light or Dark Spots: Spots are often the result of the mineral ontent
•
in the water used for rinsing, use of non-neutral instrument cleaner
or an unclean sterilizer chamber.
Rust Deposits: It is very unlikely for surgical grade steel to rust. Rust
•
colored spots usually appear in localities where water has high iron
content.
