Covered by HTM 01-05

I have a Type N Autoclave for my instruments. I follow the below: With a displacement steam sterilizer (type N), the instruments will not be wrapped prior to sterilization. Immediately after removal from the sterilizer, instruments should be aseptically wrapped using suitable sealed view packs. This could be achieved by the use of forceps, clean gloves or any other appropriate process. In addition, the entire tray may be placed within a sealed pack for storage purposes. In both of these instances, storage for up to 12 months is recommended. Practices will need to be able to demonstrate that this storage time is not being exceeded. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/170689/HTM_01-05_2013.pdf My Autoclave is serviced by Nick Carter at njcautoclaves.com .
