    WHAT IS STERILIZATION ?

    STERILIZATION : It is defined as the process by which

    an article, surface and medium isfreed of all microorganisms either invegetative or spore state.

    Patterson 1932: a process by which allmicrobial forms are destroyed.

    WHY STERILIZATION ?

    According to the GERM THEORY OF DISEASE,micro-organisms are cause for infectious disease

    Since the days of PASTEUR, thousands of pathogenicor disease causing micro-organisms have beenidentified.

    BACTERIA, FUNGI, VIRUS, PROTOZOA are

    examples of harmful micro-organisms.

    PRE-CLEANING1. Ultrasonic processing2. Manual cleaning

    Advantage of Ultrasonic processing Increased efficiency in obtaining a high degree of cleanliness.

    Reduced danger to clinician from direct contact with potentialpathogenic microorganisms. Improved effectiveness for disinfection Elimination of possible dissemination of microorganisms through

    release of aerosols and droplets, which can occur during scrubbingprocess.

    Penetration into areas of the instruments where the bristles of a

    brush may be unable to contact. Removal of tarnish.Manual cleansing

    Ultrasonic processing is the method of choice, but when manualcleaning is the only alternative, precaution must be taken toprevent contamination

    SPAULDINGSCLASSIFICATION

    Who Was Spaulding?

    In the mid-1960s Dr. Earl Spauldingdeveloped a framework for sterilization.

    The system is based on the patient'srisk for infection that various types of

    instrument or equipment contact cancreate.

  • 8/3/2019 Sterilization Deeptha

    18/100

    CLASSIFICATION OF INSTRUMENTSTERILIZATION -CDC

    The categorization of instrument depends on the contact withdifferent tissue types to determine whether sterilization /disinfection is required. The categories are as follows.

    1. Critical items :

    Instrument that touches sterile areas of the body enterthe vascular system and those that penetrates the oralmucosa. Eg : scalpel, curettes, burs

    2. Semi critical items :

    Instrument that touches mucous membrane and oral fluids

    but do not penetrate tissue, Eg.: saliva ejectors, radiograph,bite blocks, mouth mirrors etc.

    3. Non critical items :

    Those items that does not come in contact with oral mucosabut are touched by saliva / blood contaminated hands whiletreating patient. Eg.: Chair light, switches, drawer pills etc.

    STERILIZATION CYCLE

    The time required to achievesterilization is referred to as processcycle, which includes Heat up &/or penetration of the agent Kill time

    Safety factor for bioburden

    Evacuation or dissipation of the agent

  • 8/3/2019 Sterilization Deeptha

    20/100

    SUNLIGHT

    Sunlight possess appreciable BACTERICIDALactivity ( kills HIV virus in 3-4 mins)

    It is the sterilization which occurs at normal

    condition The action is due to the content of uv rays

    and heat Simple and Grieg showed that, in India, typhoid bacilli exposed

    to the sun on pieces of white drill cloth were killed in two hours,whereas controls kept in the dark were still alive after six days.

    Bacteria suspended in water are readily destroyed by exposureto sunlight.

    DRYING

    Moisture is essential for the growth of bacteria.

    Four-fifth by weight of the bacterial cell consists of water.

    Drying in air has therefore, a deleterious effect on manybacteria.

    This method is unreliable and is only of theoretical interest.spores are unaffected by drying.

  • 8/3/2019 Sterilization Deeptha

    22/100

    HEAT

    Heat is dependable physical agent fordestruction of all forms of microbial life,including spores.

    Moist heat is more effective than dry heat. The killing effect of dry heat is due to protein

    denaturation, Oxidative damage & toxic effectof elevated levels of electrolytes.

    Moist heat kills microorganisms by Coagulationand denaturing their enzymes and structuralproteins, a process in which water participates.

  • 8/3/2019 Sterilization Deeptha

    23/100

    HEAT-contd

    Moist heat is effective at lower temperature.

    A properly designed autoclave will effectivelysterilize media and other water containing

    materials in sealed or unsealed bottles, laboratorydiscards and porous packaged materials.

    Dry heat is suitable for oils, petroleum products

    ,oily injections talc, glasswares,beakers,flasks

    Dry heat cannot be used for water containingculture media.

    25/100

    Advantages of dry heat

    More convenient

    Instruments are less likely to corrode ( dry heat is a protectivetype of sterilization )

    Do not require drying after sterilization.Disadvantages of using dry heat

    Much harder to kill than when they are wet.

    Has very little power of penetration and unless very hightemperatures are used, the method is slow.

    Instruments need a considerable time to cool after sterilizationand the temper of metal instruments may be lost

    Rate of microbial death

    When bacterial populations are heated or

    treated with antimicrobial chemicals, they

    usually die at a constant rate.

    HOT AIR OVENPARTS

    Fan Temperature indicator,

    Control thermostat,

    Timer,

    Open mesh shelving

    Wall insulation.

    The oven is usually treated by electricity, withheating elements in the wall of the chamber.

    Door interlocks is fitted to ensure theheating cycle will not start until the door isshut and that the door will not open while thecycle is in progress.

    Arrangement of instruments should allow freecirculation of air

    33/100

    MOIST HEAT -Temperaturebelow 100C:

    (a) Pasteurization of Milk:There are 3 types of methods.

    Holders process Temp. is 65c for 30min Flash process Temp. 72c for 15-20 sec

    & sudden cooling to 13c Ultra pasteurization- temp 82c 3 secs & sudden cooloing

    (b) Vaccines of non-sporing bacteria:They are heat inactivated by placing it in special vaccine bags,

    which is maintained at 60c for one hour.

    (c) To sterilize serum: body fluids which contain coagulable proteins (egg yolk, synovial fluid)

    sterilized by placing them in a water bath at 56c for 1 hour for severalsuccessive days.

    TEMPERATURE AT 100C

    (a)Boiling: NOT a preferred method of sterilization. Vegetative forms are killed in few minutes at 54 to 65oC.

    Certain bacterial spores will withstand 115oC for 3 hours!

    Boiling can destroy most of the non- sporing bacteria butfor complete destruction it should be boiled forconsiderable period (10-15mts).

    Effective boiling is brought about by adding 2%sodium bicarbonate solution which will promotesterilization.

    Certain metallic instruments & glassware can be

    sterilized by boiling.

    TYNDALLISATION

    Sterilization through intermittent exposure known astyndallisation. It was discovered by Tindal. Temp is 100cfor 20 min on 3 successive days.Advantages:

    During the 1st exposure all vegetative bacteria present in

    the media is killed during the next 24 hours the sporesthat are present in the media germinate. During 2nd exposure all the germinated bacteria will be

    destroyed. During 3rd exposure complete sterilization is ensured.

    It is mainly used to sterilize culture, media which containssugar & gelatin.

    TEMPERATURE ABOVE 100C

    AUTOCLAVES- Von BremannPrinciple:

    Direct saturated steam contact is the basis ofsteam sterilization. when steam comes in contact with cooler

    surface, it condenses into water and gives oflatent heat to that surface. The condensed water

    ensures moist conditions for killing microbes. Pressure increases the boiling temperature but it

    itself does not have any effect on micro-org orsteam penetration

    It is one of the most aqueous quaternary ammoniumcompounds and is used both as an antiseptic and as adisinfectant.

    According to neugeboren and co-workers its antibacterial

    spectrum is similar to the alcohols being limited largely togram-positive microorganisms and some gram-negativeorganisms.

    It is not effective against spores, viruses andmycobacterium tuberculosis.

    Hotchkiss 1946 noted that this molecule is a strongsurfactant that increases the permeability of thebacterial well and permits the escape of phosphorus andnitrogen. It also denatures intracellular protein.
