HAND INSTRUMENT CARE
By Brenda Sharp McCarson, RDH, BSBrenda McCarson, RDH, BS, joined Brasseler’s Hygiene Segment in 2003 as a National Hygiene Sales Specialist. McCarson is a former ADHA trustee, Past President and Life member of the South Carolina Dental Hygienist’s Association and has been recognized for outstanding service to the dental hygiene profession through her national and state af liations. In addition, she serves on Dimensions of Dental Hygiene’s Corporate Council and previously served on ADHA’s Access Industry Advisory Board.
Considerations
• Are you following the appropriate hand instrument care procedures to promote the safety and well being of patients as well as that of the dental team?
• Do you follow accepted procedures for presterilization and sterilization for hand instrument reprocessing?
• Do you notice spotting, discoloration or pitting on your instruments and cassettes?
The dental hygienist must incorporate best practices to manage hand instrument and equipment sterilization processes to prevent cross-contamination and ensure a safe healthcare environment for patients. Many hours have been dedicated to understanding the most current infectious disease control recommendations for dental hygiene practice. We understand that the critical instruments that penetrate soft tissue and bone must be heat sterilized after each use. What isn’t always understood is how each individual step in hand instrument reprocessing builds upon the previous step to ensure complete sterility of critical instruments. Proper hand instrument reprocessing is crucial for the long term function and working life of dental hygiene instrumentation.
Ideally, dental hygiene procedure set-ups are contained in cassettes to limit handling and direct exposure to sharps. Incorporating instrument cassettes into your practice will minimize handling and sorting and keep procedure based setups organized and identi ed by clinician. Instrument cassettes extend the useful life of your instruments by minimizing instrument-to-instrument contact and damage from dropping. Instrument cassettes are autoclavable and may be constructed of stainless steel, aluminum or plastic resin.
Hand Instrument Reprocessing falls into two categories:
• Pre-sterilization
• Sterilization
Each category includes important steps for which there are no short-cuts.
Pre-sterilization involves an overall process that must be followed in order for optimal sterilization to be achieved. The pre-sterilization process begins immediately following the dental hygiene treatment appointment. The CDC and FDA state that this rst step is always needed before disinfection or sterilization. Debris remaining on instruments can insulate microorganisms during the sterilization process, preventing inactivation of the organisms we are trying to reach.
Pre-Sterilization and Sterilization (Guidelines for Hand Instrument Processing)
Pre-Sterilization
• Move contaminated instruments safely to sterilization/reprocessing area. Wear heavy utility gloves, mask or shield and eye protection during handling of contaminated instruments. Use of instrument cassettes is recommended to limit handling and potential exposure to a sharps injury.
• Pre-clean instruments if cleaning procedure is delayed. Soak contaminated instruments in holding/soaking enzymatic solutions to dissolve or prevent blood and debris from drying on surfaces. Or, coat contaminated instruments with enzymatic spray or foam to dissolve or prevent blood and debris from drying on surfaces.
• Rinse all enzymatic solutions and debris from instruments and inspect for any remaining debris.
• Move to ultrasonic or automatic instrument washer/disinfector for instrument cleaning.
Ultrasonic Cleaning
• Follow manufacturer’s recommendations for processing times and preparation of ultrasonic cleaning chemical.
• Rinse all chemicals from instruments and inspect for any remaining debris. Use heavy utility gloves and a rm brush to carefully remove any debris not removed by cleaning device. Residual debris may be an indication that the ultrasonic device is not working properly.
Automatic Cleaning
This includes use of automatic washers or disinfectors for cleaning and drying. Follow manufacturer’s recommendations for wash/disinfection cycles and use only recommended detergents. Using detergents not recommended for the washer can cause instrument discoloration and corrosion.
• Load instrument cassettes into automated washer as recommended.
• Complete recommended wash/disinfection and dry cycle.
• Apply any anticorrosive agents or lubricants.
• Drying & Inspecting
- Instruments must be completely dry before placing in pouch or before wrapping cassette. Packaging wet instruments provides an opportunity for corrosion, discoloration from chemicals and spotting.
- Inspect instruments for wear, broken tips, and dullness.
• Packing & Wrapping
- Contaminated dry instruments must be placed in acceptable packaging during sterilization procedure.
Problem Possible Cause Solution
Rust Corrosion spreads from carbide rotary and carbon steel instruments
Ultrasonic cleaning solution not adequately rinsed off or instruments are inadequately dried
Spotting
Ultrasonic cleaning solution needs changing or sterilization device needs cleaning
Pitting Chemical exposure reaction
Heat Sterilization Methods for Reprocessing Critical Instruments
Sterilization
Avoid sterilizing dissimilar metals together
Ensure all instruments are rinsed and dried thoroughly before placing them in sterilization unit
Follow all unit manufacturer recommendations for routine maintenance of devices
Read all instrument manufacturer guidelines to learn which chemicals can cause unfavorable reactions (Note: Brasseler ’s instrument care guidelines are printed in our catalog)
Each sterilization method has very speci c requirements regarding time, temperature and recommended packaging for products and materials that can be safely and effectively sterilized. Refer to manufacturer’s instructions for recommended sterilization processing temperature and time. The following chart is a brief summary of the most widely used sterilization methods and common advantages and disadvantages related to reprocessing hand instruments:
Sterilization Method Advantages
Steam Pressure (Autoclave)
Steam Pressure (Rapid)
Dry Heat (Rapid)
Chemical Vapor
Does not deposit harmful residues
Allows sterilization of heat sensitive items
Disadvantages
May damage plastic and rubber items
Hard water may cause spotting
Drying cycle may not completely dry instruments-must vent and/ or run drying cycle to facilitate process
Chamber humidity may rust or corrode metals
Repeated autoclaving dulls instruments
Small chamber size
Decreased start up and cool down time
Improved dry cycle reduces rusting and dulling of instruments
No corrosion
Instruments are dry at the end of cycle
Time efficient
Does not dull sharp instruments or corrode metals
Less rusting and dulling of instruments
Time efficient
Instrument packs/wraps come out dry or almost dry
Storage and Distribution
Instruments emerge very hot
Requires the use of distilled water
Instruments must be dry before packaging and sterilization
Plastic and rubber products may be damaged
Metals can develop light yellow-brown discoloration and lose shiny appearance
Requires special solution
Plastic and rubber products may be damaged
Must have proper ventilation
• Cool hot instrument packs slowly to prevent condensation on instruments.
• Cassettes, instruments packs, and pouches processed through steam sterilizers must be completely dry before storage and distribution.
• Careful handling of processed instruments must be maintained throughout storage to ensure sterility.
• Store a maximum of one month, use a rst in, rst out stock rotation system.
