Chapter 15
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Ethylene oxide (EO), hydrogen peroxide in a gas plasma form and in a vaporized hydrogen proxy form, | All of three processes occur under a 130’F or low temperature sterilization |
| The maximum amount or concentration of a chemical that a worker maybe exposed to, and then time waited average. | Permissible exposure limit (PEL) |
| During the alkylation process, EO destroys the cell’s ability to metabolize or reproduces. | Alkylation |
| Destroy microbes and the organisms. It renders the cell unable (metabolize) or reproduce | ETO uses alkylation |
| A process in which sterilized packages are subjected to moving air to facilitate removal or toxic residuals Agee exposure a sterilizing agent such as EO | Aeration |
| Amount of EO that remains inside materials after they are sterilized | Residual ethylene oxide (EO) |
| EO is so dangerous and it works so well, but the problem is really long cycle. A steam sterilization cycle is gonna be about | 3 hours |
| After 3 hours then another, at least _____ for the packages to cool down to room temperature | An hours |
| When using oxides, the process itself takes about ______ | 1.5 hours |
| The aeration time where is removing the deadly chemical from the instruments, So a complete cycle using EO is over or it takes those instruments out of commission for _______. (EO has the longest error ratio in cycle ) | 12 hours |
| EO is toxic gas classified by OSHA as a carcinogen and reproductive hazard | Safety |
| To protect SP technicians, EO sterilizer should be in a well-ventilate area with the room exchange rate of at least _______ per hours | 10 changes |
| The sterilizers are in _________ rooms | Negative-pressure |
| Cartridges with 100% EO should be stored in a ventilated flammable liquid stored cabinet that is exhausted outside : | Away from heat sparks and sunlight |
| Provided by the product manufacturer to the buyers and must be available in a place that is easily accessing let to those who will use he product. | Safety data sheet (SDS) |
| The use of devices affixed directly to the employee’s clothing in the breathing zone (Within one foot of the person’s nose) | Exposure monitoring |
| Personal monitor has to be within ______ of the breathing zone near person’s nose | 12” = 1 foot |
| External CIs should be used on the outside of every instrument package to demonstrate that each pack has a been processed. | Chemical monitoring |
| A highly effective sterilant that sterilizes by oxidation of key cellular components | H2o2 |
| The microorganism of choice for EO is the Bacillus atrophaeus spores | BI replacement Biological Incubation (monitoring) |
| In efficacy, hydrogen peroxide solution ranging from | 59%-95% |
| SP technicians should always wear thee recommended PPE when removing items from a canceled cycle, | H2o2 process is complete, the technician should be wearing PPE’s when they’re removing items from the sterilizer |
| When they’re removing items from the sterilizer | This is not a correct answer |
| If cycle is aborted and if it’s canceled halfway through the cycle or after it starts or before it ends. If you have to stop the cycle and it fails, then you should put on PPEs before you own and remove it | This is the correctly |
| What is not compatible with H2o2 gas plasma the list of what’s compatible could be quite long, but NOT compatible is? | Materials compatible |
| Paper/plastic, pouches, cellulose—based disposable wrappers, and muslin wraps, should not be used with H2o2 gas plans sterilizers because the absorb the peroxide and inhibit effective penetration | Cellulose-containing packaging materials |
| The microorganism of choice for H2o2 gas plans BI’s | Geobacills stearthermophilus spore |
| Only putting PPE on, if a load is compromised or | A canceled load |
| Hydrogen Peroxide (H2o2) gas plasma limitation | Cellulose (paper), textiles, liquids and powders cannot be processed |
| 100% EO limitation | Requires lengthy aeration time to remove EO residue Requires personal and area monitoring |
| The microorganism of choice for VHP is the Geobacillus stearthemophilus spore | BIs |
| There should be at least _______ air exchanges per hours in a room that has ethylene oxide (EO) sterilizer | 10 |
| The ______ ,ethos of low-temperature sterilization uses gas cartridges for a sterilant | Ethylene oxide |
| The probability of a viable microorganism being present on an item after sterilization is the ________. | Sterility assurance level |
| The bacterial spore used to test EO sterilization cycles is | Bacillus atrophaeus |
| __________ monitoring requires the device to be affixed directly to the employee’s clothing in the breathing zone | Personal |
| The ________ phase of an EO sterilizer cycle immediately follows the sterilization phase | Aeration |
| ________ is a bacterial spore used to test hydrogen peroxide (H2o2) sterilization cycles | Geobacillus stearothermophilus |
| Exposure tie for items sterilized using EO sterilization is ________ | 2.5 hours |
| The _________ sets exposure standards for chemical sterilants | Occupational Safety and Health Administration |
| The ___________ recommends that sterilants be rigorously tested before being marketed | US Food and Drug Administration |
