Surgical Instrument Decontamination Unit
Abstract
Results of our studies during this Phase have demonstrated that a simple 2-bath system utilizing the synergistic effect between hydrogen peroxide and sonication is effective in achieving total sterilization when preceded by a precleaning treatment in a proteolytic enzyme/detergent cleaner. Furthermore, we have observed that using this two step procedure, the total time required for both cleaning and sterilizing the instruments is appreciably shorter than any other method presently in use.
