Rigid Sterilization Containers: Best Practices
Rigid sterilization containers are recommended for use in Immediate-use steam sterilization by the Joint Commission and AORN. They are also used frequently in sterile processing. This webinar will discuss the AAMI recommended practices related to the use of rigid sterilization containers and the importance of following the manufacturer’s instructions for use. We will also discuss the difference between validation and verification and why you cannot repackage instruments purchased with their own containment system into generic rigid containers without validated instructions for use.
