The concept of sterilization

Astrylyzyasyvn or sterilization means elimination of all forms of life in or on a

medium or substance. The different forms of living cells, bacteria and eukaryotes,

Andvspvr bacteria, spores, fungi, virus particles, smaller than the virus.

Sterilization process is complete, meaning that it is sterile or non-sterile

environment and a term or provision or part-sterile or nearly sterile there.

Sterilization Methods

• Different sterilization procedures are performed in the microbiology laboratory can

be used in both physical and chemical methods.

• Physical methods: incineration, autoclaving, use the oven (oven), filtration and

radiation

Chemical methods: the use of chemical disinfectants and disinfectant Burning in

the microbiology laboratory culture after culture and transfer using a wire loop or

ounces (needle) to catch and fry them on the flames killed the tools are sterile.

Sterilizing autoclave method

• An autoclave is a pressure chamber used to sterilize equipment and supplies by

subjecting them to high pressure saturated steam at 121 °C for around 15–20 minutes

depending on the size of the load and the contents.[1] It was invented by Charles

Chamberland in 1879,[2] although a precursor known as the steam digester was

created by Denis Papin in 1679.[3] The name comes from Greek auto-, ultimately

meaning self, and Latin clavis meaning key—a self-locking device.[4]

• Other types of autoclave are used in the chemical industry to cure coatings, vulcanize

rubber and for hydrothermal synthesis, growing crystals under high temperatures and

pressures. Synthetic quartz crystals used in the electronic industry are grown in

autoclaves.

Sterilization is a term referring to any process that eliminates or kills all forms of microbial life, including transmissible agents (such as fungi, bacteria, viruses, spore forms, etc.) present on a surface, contained in a fluid, in medication, or in a compound such as biological culture media

• Steam sterilization is carried out at

– a steam pressure of 1 to 5bar

– a sterilization temperature between 100 to 150°C

– a sterilization time between 3 and 20 minutes

• Commonly used steam sterilization parameters are

– 121°C, 15 to 20 minutes

– 134°C, 3 to 5 minutes

STEAM GENERATION BY INTERNAL HEATING ELEMENTS

• Heating elements inside the pressure vessel of the autoclave

• Steam is generated in a steam generator which is separated from the pressure vessel but integrated into the housing of the autoclave

• For steam generation in a steam sterilizer, demineralized water must be used

• The water quality has a direct influence to the steam quality

• Normal tap water contains minerals, in particular carbonates, and other ingredients which can contaminate the product during sterilization

• Kinetic heat energy (heat) is transferred from the heating elements into the liquid (demineralized water)

• The liquid (demineralized water) has the tendency to evaporate due to the kinetic energy (heat)

• As higher the kinetic energy the more molecules are released from the surface of the liquid due to evaporation

• The aggregate state changes from liquid to gaseous (steam)

• Steam is generated directly in the pressure vessel of the autoclave

• Steam is created on the bottom of the chamber

• Air must be suppressed to the top of the chamber

• Suppression of air against its natural gravitation

• Air physically is heavier than steam and gravitates down while steam rises up

Ineffective air release causes a reduction of the biological efficiency

of a steam sterilization process

• Steam is generated in a steam generator outside pressure vessel

• Steam inlet from top of the pressure vessel

• Air is suppressed to the bottom of the pressure vessel

• Suppression with the natural gravitation of the air

Separate steam generator and steam generation outside the pressure vessel

allows much better process control

TRB 402 – Technical Regulations for Pressure Vessels (clause 3.2.4)

If there is a given danger of delayed boiling of the sterilization product, e.g. when sterilizing liquids, it must be ensured that the pressure vessel can only be opened when the temperature of the liquid is cooled well below the boiling point

DIN 58950 – Steam sterilizer for pharmaceutical products (clause 8.4)

The program control must be designed that opening of the door during operation is not possible

When using a liquid sterilization program, it must be ensured that the temperature in the product is lower than 0.8 times the boiling temperature

• Delayed boiling can result in heavy injuries

• To prevent delayed boiling, it is to ensure that liquids in steam sterilizers are cooled down to a temperature well below the boiling point at atmospheric pressure

• A thermal protection has to ensure that the autoclave cannot be opened as long as the liquid is not cooled down to a save temperature

• The temperature has to be measured in the liquid (reference vessel)

• A cooling temperature of 80°C is safe

Because of the high risk of accidents there should not be any compromise

• Evaporation cooling is achieved by evaporation (boiling) of the sterilized liquid

• Evaporation can only take place in open vessels - never in closed vessels as in closed vessels a gas exchange is not possible

• Evaporation out of closed vessels cannot take place and the liquid does not cool off

• Caps of closed vessels must at least be vented

How can it be assured that bottles are always open (caps are vented) given the fact that more and more bottles with screw caps are used in laboratories nowadays?

At the opening of the autoclave, the temperature of the liquid in closed bottles is still above 100°C and the bottles are still under pressure

• Double jacket is produced by point welding two metal sheets and inflating these by air pressure

• Double jacket has very tiny capillaries through which the cooling water is led

• Using tap water or softened water for cooling would block the capillaries with carbonates

Because of the tiny capillaries, expensive demineralized water

has to be used for cooling

• Half-pipe cooling coils to increase the cooling surface

• Cooling water is led all around the pressure vessel

• Cooling coils provide a bigger diameter compared to the capillaries of a double jacket which reduces the risk of blocking the cooling system by carbonates

Inexpensive tap water or softened water can be used

• Closed bottles and cans, etc. must always be sterilized with support air pressure in the cooling phase

• There is danger of explosion without support air pressure as the temperature and pressure in closed bottles drops much slower than in the pressure vessel of the autoclave when using a cooling system without support air pressure

How can it be assured that bottles are always open (caps are vented) given the fact that more and more bottles with screw caps are used in laboratories nowadays?

Systec strongly recommends to use a cooling system with support air pressure for safety reasons!!!

• Qualification A qualification process is used to verify whether or not a device is suitable for its intended use

• Validation (definition according to U.S. FDA) (...) the process of demonstrating, through the use of specific laboratory investigations, that the performance characteristics of an analytical method are suitable for its intended analytical use

• GMP / GLP (Good Manufacturing Practice / Good Laboratory Practice) It is required in governmental GxP regulations that (in particular in the pharmaceutical industry) devices with influence on the product quality must be validated

• DQ – Design Qualification

– User defines his requirements to a device or a process

– According to these requirements a design of the device that fulfills the requirements will be developed

• IQ – Installation Qualification

– Verification whether the device is manufactured and installed according to the requirements developed in DQ

• OQ – Operational Qualification

– Verification whether the device operates without product according to the requirements developed in DQ

• PQ – Performance Qualification

• All steps of IQ, OQ and PQ follow a predefined qualification test plan in which the characteristics of the device, the characteristics of the product as well as the acceptance criteria of the various tests are defined

• All results of the tests carried out must be documented according to the test plan and it must be verified whether the results are within the defined acceptance criteria

• The documentation must be verified and signed by the manufacturer and the user of the device

Aim of Qualification and Validation is to have a documented proof that a device is qualified for its intended use
