  • Title: Immediate use steam sterilization: moving beyond current policy.
    Author: Seavey R.
    Journal: Am J Infect Control; 2013 May; 41(5 Suppl):S46-8. PubMed ID: 23622748.
    Abstract:
    Immediate-use steam sterilization (IUSS) is steam sterilization intended for immediate use. IUSS may cause an increased risk of infection to patients because of stress and time constraints placed on staff. When IUSS is used, it is vital to properly carry out the complete multistep process according to the manufacturer's written validated instructions for use.
