Matachana Monitoring and Consumables
The MATACHANA routine monitoring involves using Biological and Chemical-physical Indicators to check important parameters of medical device reprocessing processes. This helps CSSD users to ensure that their processes comply with Australian standards (AS5369). Routine monitoring indicators are essential for keeping track of CSSD performance and serve as a critical benchmark for recording it. Using these benchmarks, CSSD supervisors can ensure that all medical devices and loads meet the acceptable reference threshold, even under process conditions in close contact with the medical devices.
Process validation monitoring involves using indicators to validate medical devices and other device reprocessing processes based on microbiological and physico-chemical standards for each process. The procedures are validated per the validation standard, following different approaches to comply with the limits required in each case.
INDICATORS FOR STEAM
Indicators for routine monitoring of saturated steam sterilization processes comply with Australian standards (AS5369) and fall into three main subgroups:
- 1. Biological Indicators for the verification of spore survival.
- Unambiguous verification of the micro-organisms death after the process.
- 2. Chemical Indicators that go inside the packaging (packages, containers, etc.).
- Verification of the sterilization conditions of the occurrence inside a package.
- 3. Chemical Indicators with process challenge devices.
- Verification of sterilization conditions in challenging situations for either porous or textile loads, solid or cannulated loads.
