    From The Doctor - to the Technicians - to the Patients: Everyone is at risk if the instruments & hand pieces used in your practice are not sterilized properly. It’s also the law. To protect everyone, the mandated spore test is a way to ensure that your autoclave is functioning properly and is achieving the desired level of sterilization. HOW IS STERILIZATION CONFIRMED?

    After a spore strip is processed in a sterilizer, it is mailed to a monitoring service. In a laboratory setting, the spore strip is aseptically removed from its protective envelope and placed in a tube of culture media. It is then incubated for 7 days. For each of the 7 days, the tube of culture media is inspected for cloudiness.

    If the spores are live and have not been killed, cloudiness is noted in the culture media. If no cloudiness is noted in the culture media, then sterilization is confirmed.

    The most common reason for the test to fail is not due to mechanical failure, but is actually due to operator error. If your autoclave has failed the spore test, this is a good time to review your sterilization procedures with your staff. Observe the technician who is responsible for sterilizing the hand pieces and/or instruments and look for the following problem areas:

    • Is the autoclave being overloaded? Refer to the manufacturers specifications and make sure the technician is not putting in too many items at one time.
    • Is the right temperature being achieved and maintained? Inadequate Temperature: Set the temperature control knob so that it reaches and maintains 270-degrees. Check on it periodically during the cycle to make sure this temperature is not fluctuating more than a couple of degrees.
    • Is the right amount of pressure being reached and maintained? Inadequate Pressure: The chamber pressure should be maintaining approximately 30psi (or manufacturer specifications).
    • Is the cycle being allowed to run for the right amount of time? Inadequate Time: The normal processing cycle varies somewhat by the autoclave manufacturer. Follow the manufactures guidelines. Shortening the cycle endangers everyone, so don’t.
    • Improper packaging of instruments (follow manufacturers recommendations)

    What the Employee Needs to Know About COBRA to Protect Himself and his Family
    The first question from one just terminated from his job is: What is COBRA and what are my rights and my options. Congress passed the landmark Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) health benefit provisions in 1986. First of all, COBRA can only be offered to employees and or their dependents if the employer has 20 or more employees. An employer can not legally keep an employee on his insurance plan if he

    SEO - Search Engine Optimization I
    Search engine optimization is something that puzzles some, terrifies others and completely baffles the rest. The amusing thing is that search engine optimization, or SEO, is a simple matter of logic and common sense. The principles outlined here are based on Google, though they apply to all true search engines.There are certain known rules to be followed when you build your site to be search engine friendly, and then

    How Search Engines Work: Crawling + Indexing
    A search engine operates, in the following order: 1) Crawling; 2) Deep Crawling Depth-first search (DFS); 3) Fresh Crawling Breadth-first search (BFS); 4) Indexing; 5) Searching.Web search engines work by storing information about a large number of web pages, which they retrieve from the WWW itself. These pages are retrieved by a web crawler (also known as a spider) — an automated web browser which follows every link i

    If any of the above shortcuts are being taken because the autoclave cannot keep up with your demand, it is time to either increase your inventory of handpieces and/or instruments, or to get an autoclave that processes them faster A question I am frequently asked is If the Chemical Monitoring is Sufficient?

    CHEMICAL MONITORING uses heat sensitive chemicals (not spores) to assess the physical conditions during the sterilization process. Chemical monitoring involves the use of indicators that change color when exposed to certain temperatures. Examples include autoclave tape, special markings on bags and pouches, and, chemical indicator strips, tabs or packets.

    If a chemical indicator changes color, has sterilization taken place?

    No... a chemical indicator only assesses the physical conditions (e.g., temperature) present during the cycle. When a sterilizer reaches the required temperature, it causes the chemical indicator to change color; however, it does not indicate how long the temperature was maintained.
