CLEANING AND SANITIZATION OF HPHV STEAM STERILIZER

Description

HPHV steam sterilizers require meticulous cleaning and sanitization to maintain optimal performance and prevent contamination. After each sterilization cycle, the chamber should be thoroughly cleaned with detergent and water, followed by rinsing with sterile water. All removable parts, such as trays and racks, should be disassembled and cleaned separately. To ensure complete sanitization, the sterilizer should be subjected to a sterilization cycle with a biological indicator to confirm spore inactivation. Regular maintenance, including cleaning and sanitization, is crucial for the safe and effective operation of HPHV steam sterilizers.
