Sterilization Validation for Medical DevicesDocKetchum
Every medical device produced must be sterilized before being shipped to hospitals, doctors’ offices, and other medical locations.
Random samples of these devices must then be tested to be sure the sterilization kills disease causing microbes including bacteria, fungus, and spores in every device.
These are some of the most common ways that sterilization validation is performed.
Microbiological inspection of mineral water by redox-potential measurement Olivér Reichart
MicroTester as a validated method is suitable for rapid microbiological testing of mineral water, carbonated water, tank and running drinking water and other types of water. The time needed for a reliable detection of microorganisms is of key importance: in water industry the real-time (or at least as fast as possible) monitoring of the microbiological properties of the production is indispensable; in public water supply the essential basis of the epidemiological and public health measures is the fast and reliable result of the microbiological inspection. Beside the most important and most widely inspected microbiological contaminants the most relevant disturbing flora was involved to the validation process as well.

about the various sterilization techniques used to combat them. This detailed presentation discusses the principles, procedures, and equipment involved in maintaining a pathogen-free environment.
Optimizing the Sterilization Process in compliance with standardsRushyanthKR1
Sterilization optimization involves improving the process of sterilization to ensure it is efficient, effective, and safe123. Sterilization itself is a process that destroys or eliminates all forms of microbial life and is carried out in healthcare facilities by physical or chemical methods.
Sterilization and disinfection in prosthodonticsNishu Priya
Routinely dental care professionals are at an increased risk of crossinfection while treating patients. This occupational potential for disease transmission becomes evident initially when one realizes that most human microbial pathogens have been isolated from oral secretions. Because of repeated exposure to the microorganisms present in blood and saliva, the incidence of certain infectious diseases has been significantly higher among dental professionals than observed for the general population.
Biochemistry is a basic science which deals with chemical nature and chemical behaviour of living matter and with the reactions and processes they undergo.
Biochemistry involves the study of:
Chemical constituents of living matter.
Chemical changes which occur in the organism during digestion, absorption and excretion.
Chemical changes which occur during growth and multiplication of the organism.
Transformation of one form of chemical constituent to the other.
Energy changes involved in such transformation.
Note:- The term “Biochemistry” was first introduced by German chemist Carl Neuberg in 1903 from Greek word “bios” means “life”.
It is mainly deals with the biochemical aspects that are involved in several conditions.
The results of qualitative and quantitative analysis of body fluids assist the clinicians in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of the disease and drug monitoring, tissue and organ transplantation, forensic investigations and so on.
Various biological fluids subjected to chemical tests and assays include blood, plasma, serum, urine, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), ascetic fluid, pleural fluid, faeces, calculi and tissues.
Note:- Modern day medical practice is highly dependent on the laboratory analysis of body fluids, especially the blood. The disease manifestations are reflected in the composition of blood and other tissues.
Hence, the demarcation of abnormal from normal constituents of the body is another aim of the study of clinical biochemistry.

1. “EVALUATION OF VARIOUS
STERILIZATION PROCESSES OF
ORTHODONTIC INSTRUMENTS USING
BIOLOGICAL INDICATORS AND
CONVENTIONAL SWAB TEST METHOD”
-A COMPARATIVE STUDY
INDIAN DENTAL ACADEMY
Leader in continuing dental education

3. • With the introduction of implants and
Orthognathic Surgery, and its growing
popularity the necessity for sterilization
has increased manifold.
• It has been found that Orthodontists have
second highest incidence of Hepatitis B
among Dental professionals.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
4. •
Most commonly used Infection Control
methods are:
1. Disinfection.
2. Sterilization.
•
Disinfection reduces microbial contamination
but is generally less lethal to pathogenic
organisms than sterilization and does not
remove all the vegetative spores.
•
Sterilization destroys all forms of
microorganisms including viruses, bacteria,
fungi, and spores.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
5. •
1.
How much effective or efficient is the sterilization
procedure can be monitored by using:Chemical Indicators.
2.
Lab culture method.
3.
Biological Indicators.
•
Most frequently used method for checking the
effectiveness of sterilization is the Chemical
Indicators. They are available in form of strips.
•
Their drawback is they only assure that the
instruments have been exposed to sterilization cycle;
they don't verify that complete sterilization has
occurred and all vegetation has been destroyed.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
6. • Conventional microbiological culture method can
determine the effectiveness of sterilization process by
spore growth which can be seen by naked eye.
• Drawback of this procedure is that it requires lots of skill
to determine the spore growth, even air borne
contamination can affect the result of the culture method.
And about 48 to 72 hours for spores to grow on culture
medium.
• Biological Indicators have been stated that they can
provide a better method of verifying the effectiveness of
sterilization procedures.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
7. • Biological Indicators consist of ampules or strips
enclosed in glassine envelope that contain a known
quantity of Bacillus Stearothermophilus and /or
Bacillus Subtilis spores.
• Biological Indicators for monitoring Steam Autoclave
or Chemical Vapor sterilization contain spores of
Bacillus Stearothermophilus (Geobacillus
Stearothermophilus).
• Biological Indicators for monitoring Dry Heat or
Ethylene Oxide sterilization contain spores of
Bacillus Subtilis (Bacillus Atrophaeus).
www.indiandentalacademy.com
9. 1. Comparative evaluation of control and experimental groups by
sterilization of orthodontic instruments using:
– Autoclave sterilizer
– Hot air oven sterilizer
– Ethylene oxide sterilizer
•
•
Control Group: The contaminated instruments were ultrasonically
cleaned and air dried but was not processed through different
sterilization procedures.
Experimental Group: The contaminated instruments were
ultrasonically cleaned and air dried and was processed through
different sterilization procedures.
2. To compare the efficiency of various sterilization procedures using
conventional spore monitoring method i.e. by using swab test and
biological indicators.
3. To determine the efficiency of Cold Sterilization by using Bioclenz-G
(2% Glutaraldehyde) solution.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
11. •
In 1857 Pasteur Louis introduced techniques of sterilization and
developed the steam sterilizer, Hot-Air Oven and Autoclave.
•
Council on Dental Therapeutics (1973) accepted Glutaraldehyde
(cidex) as a disinfecting and sterilizing agent.
•
Matis B., Sellers R., and Christen A.(1980) did a study to
determine permeability of protective covering of Biological spore
monitor to formaldehyde. It was recommended that chemical vapor
sterilizer should be avoided with layering of packages of
instruments.
•
Skaug N (1983) did a survey to determine the sterilization
procedures used by Oral Surgeons in Norway. The instruments
were sterilized using Steam Autoclave at 1210C or 1340C; and Dry
Heat Oven sterilizer. The sterilization procedures were monitored
using Biological Indicators.
•
Field E.A., Field J.K., Martin M.V.(1988) conducted a study to test
the physical effectiveness of TST (Time, Steam, and Temperature)
strips for monitoring autoclave sterilization.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
12. •
Miller C.H., Sheldrake M.A. (1990) performed a study to compare
immediate and delayed incubation on the ability of Biological
Indicators to detect sterilization failures.
The result showed that appropriate Biological Indicator can detect
sterilization failure after immediate and after delayed incubation of
seven days.
•
Hohit William F., Miller Chris H., Neeb M John., Sheldrake A.
Margle (1990) performed a study to determine whether Orthodontic
instruments and bands contaminated with blood or saliva and
bacterial spores can be sterilized by Steam, Chemical Vapor, or
Dry-Heat sterilizer. All the three types of sterilization was equally
effective.
•
Hastreiter J. Richard et. al (1991) Suggested that Biological
Indicators were useful in monitoring sterilization performance only
when sterilization procedures are performed consistently and
competently by well trained staff using adequately maintained
instruments.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
13. •
•
•
Palenik C.J.,Burke F.J.T, Coulter W.A., Cheung S.W. (1999)
emphasized the importance of improving and monitoring autoclave
performance.
According to authors Biological monitors are the main guarantee of
sterilization for two reasons:
They can simultaneously monitor the interaction of all sterilization
parameters (temperature, pressure, time) which no gauge,
thermocouple or chemical monitor can accomplish.
They can measure the sterilization process within an individual
pack, tray, or instrument grouping.
The reason for failure of Biological Indicators was related to
human error, such as improper wrapping and /or loading of an
Autoclave.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
18. • One set was not passed through sterilization
process and was directly send to microbiology
lab for culture test which comprised the Control
Group.
• The other set of instruments were passed
through different sterilization cycles which
comprised the Experimental Group.
• Each group was divided into Medium load
(containing 15 sets of instruments) and Heavy
load(containting 30 sets of instruments).
• Each group was tested 15 times each for
medium and heavy load.

31. AFTER INCUBATION OF BIOLOGICAL INDICATORS
• After 24 hours of incubation both the Biological Indicators (Control and
Experimental Group) were removed from the incubator and was checked
for change in colour of culture medium. If culture medium changes color it
indicates presence of spores or sterilization failure. If there is no change in
www.indiandentalacademy.com
colour, it indicates no spore growth and sterilization was proper.
32. AFTER INCUBATION OF SPORE STRIPS
Before Incubation
After Incubation
• After one week of incubation of spore strip for Hot Air Oven sterilizer change in
turbidity of the culture medium was checked in both Control and Experimental
Group. If the culture medium becomes turbid it indicates sterilization failure. No
change in turbidity indicates proper sterilization.

hour cycle.
42. •
The study showed that all spores were killed when sterilization process was
monitored by Biological Indicators, but Conventional Swab Test showed spore
growth in three experimental groups- One in Steam Autoclave and two in Hot Air
Oven. This could probably due to Air Borne contamination or contamination of
Swab and Culture while transferring.
•
Instruments dipped in Bioclenz-G solution for 10 minutes of cycle showed spore
growth, whereas instruments dipped for 10 hours of cycle showed no spore
growth.
•
Biological Indicators can be considered as the reliable method to check the
sterilization efficiency as the spores present on them are highly resistant and the
inactivation of the spores determines the sterilization efficiency.
•
Bioclenz-G solution (2%Glutaraldehyde) can be used for sterilization if
instruments are dipped in the solution for 10 hours.
•
Just by Ultrasonically cleaning the instruments sterilization cannot be achieved.
The debris, saliva, and blood may be cleaned and not visible to naked eye. But it
does not ensure eradicating all microorganisms not visible to naked eye as can
be seen by 100% spore growth of instruments of control group.
•
The disadvantage of Biological Indicators or its limitations is that it is not
www.indiandentalacademy.com
available to check or monitor all types of sterilization procedures.
44. 1.
All methods of sterilization showed complete sterilization of
instruments when monitored with Biological Indicators.
2.
One group of heavy load in Steam Autoclave and one group each
of medium load and heavy load in Hot Air Oven sterilizer showed
sterilization failure when monitored with Conventional Swab Test
Method.
3.
The efficiency of Conventional Swab Test Method in monitoring
sterilization is questionable as the results can vary due to Air
