A step by step guide to tray assembly

Stringers have to fit within tray
Stringers are built on specific order based on coutn sheet
Instrument protection, several items are used to cover sharp ends
such as tip protectors
mutlilp[e device instrument organizers allow for devies to be used in one area
absorbet tray liner
similair instruments are grouped togehter
silicone mats help control rounded devices
following count sheet
Wrapping
- barrier to microorganisms

  • vaildated for the sterilization cycle

Double ply wrap

  • weighs between 100 and 600 the higher the weight the stronger

  • come in contrasting colors, makes it easier to check for holes during storage and handling of tray

  • some loaned nad owned setse

  • polyperene is made from it

  • two sheets fused together

  • different widths and lengths

Tear protection - corner protextors

  • silicone, foam, rigid cellulose card

  • raise the tray

  • disperses compression force

  • provide a barrier between wrapp and irregularity of the bottoms

  • colors and ocntrasts as well

  • matts should be slightly larger than tray

envelope style of wrapping is most commonly used

  1. diamon shape

  2. foilded back ion utsekf

  3. ibne sude us fikded akibg edfe if trt

  4. tyo us fikded vackj ibn edfe if sefe

  5. amount of indicator tape used is in IFU

square style fp wrap as well

Once tray is wrapped, must be labeled, labels can provide sets name, identifications labels include more load numbers and barcodes for trackign

Load labels link the set sterilization cycle and where its sterilized in minmumu requeriments in ST79

write on tape appluied to thw wrap nevber write directly on wrap

container

  • fit the tray/basket

  • validated for vendor trays

  • tray stacling li and base should allow for osmething to fit perfectly

inspect

building the container

  • inspect and install fitlers

  • place tray

  • secure lid lock tags and band arrows instead of liockign closed, container system also needs labeling

labeling

  • data card

  • processing indicator

  • lock tag with indicator

what happens to count sheet?

up to each facility what is best to do with count sheet.

  • actiion items review coutn sheet 0 make sure to give tech what they need to build tray and add in any discoveries

  • check that you haev what you need to keep instruments open

  • share knowledge - any poke throughs and tip damages, and any problems used in tray assembly
