    STORING the sterilized material must be adequately treated and stored to maintain its sterility over time, until its use. STERILIZED MATERIALS Inadequate storage can cause rapid recontamination. INtRoDUCtIoN this leads to problems regardless of what you do since you will either be using recontaminated material (most of the time unconsciously), placing the user and patient at risk, or you will have to run the sterilization cycle again, with an inevitable waste of time and resources.

    TEST PROGRAMS to protect the safety of users and patients, a fundamental process like sterilizing medical devices should be periodically checked.
