UWNI Clinic Sterilization Observation Checklist

This clinic sterilization observation checklist supports monthly audits for infection prevention. It covers PPE use, preparation of enzymatic solution with warm water, minimum soak times, proper instrument washing and drying, and sanitizing red containers with Oxyvir TB with required contact time. It guides packaging instruments in steri peel pouches with indicators, correct loading of pouches, and daily, weekly, and monthly sterilizer cleaning and maintenance logging. It includes running biological indicators on a set schedule, selecting and incubating controls, verifying color change, and recording results. The checklist also reviews eyewash station location and weekly checks, access to SDS and manufacturer guidelines, and staff education and competency documentation.
