Instructions for using Kraft bags
We put the instrument that has undergone disinfection and pre-sterilization cleaning in a dry clean bag and seal. On the package we write the contents of the package (even if one side is transparent), the date and time of sterilization, the signature of the person who carried out the processing and the bookmark in the package. We carry out sterilization in an autoclave or a dry-heat cabinet.
If external indicators (laid inside the device) showed that the sterilizer worked correctly, look at the color of the indicator on the package. After air processing, the color will change to the one specified in the reference, for example, after steaming, beige will turn purple.
Internal indicators must be included in packages without a built-in indicator, they can be bought separately. We talked about how to use indicators correctly earlier.
Several instruments can be sterilized in one package, but it should not be overfilled. Sets (manicure, pedicure) are often laid and sterilized immediately.
The shelf life of the instrument in the package after sterilization is determined by their manufacturer and indicated in the instructions.
If, after examining the package with sterile contents, there are no comments arose, then it is opened while observing asepsis and the contents are laid out on the work surface and used.
The kraft bag for sterilization is used once, and then disposed of with household waste. The bags are made of natural materials, so they decompose well and do not pollute the environment.
The tool can be sterilized without a kraft bag, but in this case you must use it within an hour. Or store it in an ultraviolet cabinet
