Carolina Body Art Sterilization Guidelines
605.3 Controls:
A recognized method of checking sterilizer
performance shall be used.
A chemical indicator of some type should be included in the largest
package of each load. Biological indicators (live bacterial spores)
should be included in all steam and hot air sterilizers
at least once per week or more often depending upon the degree
of sterilizer usage. Gas sterilizers
should employ such indicators on at least a weekly basis and preferably
on a daily basis.
Further, the gas sterilization
of implants, prosthetic devices, etc., should be accompanied by
a biological monitor in each load. Monthly checks shall be made
to ensure the above, and a written report retained.
