Steam Sterilization Process Risk Assessment
A continuous quality improvement process is important for all departments within healthcare facilities that perform sterilization to ensure that products they produce are safe for patient use. A steam sterilization process risk assessment should be performed to identify the sources of a sterilization process failure, to determine the likelihood that such a failure will occur, to assess the consequences if that failure does occur, and to prepare the facility to manage the failure. This is necessary because sterility assurance is a probability function, and it must be assumed that at some time a failure will occur. In this webinar cd, the risk assessment tools provided in ANSI/AAMI ST79:2010, Comprehensive guide to steam sterilization and sterility assurance in health care facilities, are discussed.
The program covers:
- How to identify the sources of a sterilization process failure.
- How to determine the likelihood that those failures will occur.
- What are the consequences if that failure does occur.
- How to prepare the facility to manage the failure.
