Study Notes
Autoclave Sterilization
- Moist heat is used to sterilize sanitary material with an autoclave
Biological Control
- The purpose of using biological control in sterilization is to verify the effectiveness of the sterilization process
- Biological control involves using a biological indicator, such as spores of a resistant microorganism, to test the sterilization process
Methods of Biological Control
- Biological indicators, such as spores of a resistant microorganism, are used to test the sterilization process
- Controls include:
- Inoculated control: contains the same microorganism as the test material
- Sterility test: tests for the presence of any viable microorganism
- Chemical indicators, such as autoclave tape, are NOT a method of biological control
