AUTOCLAVE BAGS AND CHAMBER LINERS:
Autoclave bags and chamber liners are required to keep the melting red bags from sticking on the sterilizers chamber walls. Several types of autoclave bags and chamber liners are available. The raw materials used in its manufacture and the product specifications determine the quality of a plastic bag and its suitability for use to contain infectious waste. Two different criteria are often used to judge the suitability of a plastic bag: It's thickness and its durability, as evaluated by the ASTM dart test(16).

Packaged infectious waste should be easily identifiable. This may be accomplished by the use of containers with the distinctive red or orange color that indicates biohazardous material. Another option is the use of the universal symbol on all infectious waste packages and containers. The identification system should include clear labeling to indicate all hazards that are present in the waste. To prevent the dispersal of infectious agents can be greatly reduced by double bagging the waste, rather than single bagging waste. For Ascetic reasons opaque plastic is sometimes preferable when containing certain types of infectious waste. Translucent bags are suitable for infectious waste when aesthetics are not a concern. Standard plastic bags are constructed of polyethylene material and tend to break down at the temperatures achieved through steam sterilization.

The autoclaveable bags or liners are made out of a polypropylene plastic which does not melt at the temperatures achieved at sterilization and maintains it's integrity. Thus the autoclaveable bags acts as containment bags in the life of the sterilization chamber and allows the steam to penetrate the waste load completely. Since sterilization is accomplished through a combination of time and temperature. Each autoclavable bag is marked with a biological indicator or "Kill Strip". The indicator will turn colors after it had been exposed to the sterilization process, thus anyone visually checking the sterilized waste load will be able to monitor the kill strip indicating that all steam sterilizers should be routinely inspected and serviced. Monitoring the steam sterilization process is required to ensure effective treatment of the waste load. The process should be monitored periodically (usually once per month) to check that proper procedures are being followed and that the equipment is functioning properly. The United States Pharmacopoeia as the biological indicator for monitoring steam sterilization recommends Bacillus Stearothermophilus.

DEODORANT SYSTEM:
Since your sterilizer is cooking various wastes at extremely high temperatures some odor maybe present during the sterilization process. The San-I-Pak system utilizes small solenoid valve plumbed into your San-I-Pak sterilizer chamber and associated plumbing connect a container of San-I-Pak deodorant (San-Air). San-I-Pak's Deodorant System is designed with the goal of minimizing, masking and reducing the odor generated by the waste during autoclaving. The deodorizing system works in the following manner. Once the vacuum has been pulled and the system has met computer controlled requirements, the deodorizer valve is opened allowing the San-Air to be pulled into the chamber with the waste. Once the deodorant is pulled into the chamber the steam cycle is initiated, heating the waste and deodorant at the same time. The waste is processed for the correct time, temperature and pressure parameters before it is discharges. Processing the waste with the deodorizer system allows the deodorant to permeate the waste.
