30
Q

Instrument processing

A

Must be preformed in a consistent manner and disciplined manner

31
Q

Sound sterilization practices In dentistry

A

Protects patients, dentists, and whole team

32
Q

Sterilization prevent

A

Growth of bacteria on instruments and surfaces

A

Microorganisms survive on surfaces for different length of time

38
Q

It is impossible to

A

Predict accurately the lifespan of microorganisms on the surface

39
Q

Safest approach to avoid contamination is to assume that

A

If the surface has had contact with saliva Blood and any infectious material
live micro organisms are present

40
Q

What are environmental protection agency
epa

A

They regulate disinfectants and chemical sterilants

The only type of products that should be used to disinfect treatment rooms Are products registered with the EPA

41
Q

Is it inactivates M tuberculosis

A

Than it Will kill inactive less resistant microorganism

42
Q

When it comes to disinfectant products keep this in mind before use

A

Shelf life Basically how long a product may be stored

Reuse life which is the time period that a disinfectant should remain effective

And use life which is the period of time during which Germicidal solution is effective

43

Q

Physical sterilization monitoring

A

Looking at gauges and reading on the sterilizer and recording the temperature pressure and exposure

55
Q

Chemical sterilization monitoring

A

External and internal

Heat sensitive chemical that changes color when exposed to certain conditions

Process indicators (external)

Process integrators (internal)

56
Q
