5.8. Processing a sterilized load
When you confirm the completed cycle, the sterilized load can be processed by inspecting the
chemical indicators and by processing the biological indicator.
5.8.1. Inspecting chemical indicator
After ensuring that the chemical indicators exhibit the correct color change, and the
cycle printout shows that all parameters were met, the sterilized load is ready for
immediate use, following your facility's policy. If the chemical indicators do not exhibit
the correct color change, investigate the cause and repackage and reprocess the load.
5.8.2. Processing self-contained biological indicator
Remove the biological indicator from the load and process it according to its Instruction
for use. Refer to the biological indicator flow chart on the following pages.
