- The SP technician is responsible for the results obtained from the biological indicators in each load, both in autoclaves by steam and by ethylene oxide. If the biological indicator suggests a deficiency in the sterilizer, the technician should report this immediately to the department supervisor and take the sterilizer out of service.
- The department supervisor should notify the maintenance service about the repair of the sterilizer. This cannot be placed in service again until the verification procedures are carried out.
- All hospital staff should review the sterile packages routinely and organize them on the shelves according to their expiration date. Objects with an earlier expiration date should be placed up front. If the expiration date has passed, the package should be removed from the service and sent to the SP for reprocessing. This is the responsibility of each department.
