Steralization at History Clinic

At History Clinic, patient safety and hygiene are our top priorities. We follow strict sterilization protocols in full compliance with international healthcare standards, including:

1. Ministry of Health DAS Guidelines
2. WHO Sterilization Guidelines
3. AAMI ST79 Steam Sterilization and Sterile Processing Guidelines

These measures ensure a safe and infection-free environment for your hair transplant procedure.

Daily Sterilization Control Procedures

To maintain the highest hygiene standards, our clinic performs daily tests on all sterilization devices:

1. Vacuum Leak Test

This test checks the airtightness and vacuum capacity of sterilization devices. A reliable vacuum ensures effective sterilization. All devices at History Clinic consistently pass this test, confirming their proper function.

2. Bowie-Dick Test

Performed daily on our steam sterilizers (autoclaves), this test verifies that steam penetrates evenly across all surfaces, ensuring instruments are fully sterilized.

3. Ultrasonic Cleaning Test

Our ultrasonic cleaners remove microscopic organic residues from surgical instruments. Daily testing guarantees that every instrument is thoroughly cleaned before sterilization.

Biological Indicator Test (Every 15 Days)

Every 15 days, we conduct a biological indicator test to ensure sterilization procedures are effective against bacteria and other microorganisms. Recent results confirmed no microbial growth, demonstrating the complete effectiveness of our protocols.

Additional Hygiene Measures

Separation of Sterile and Used Instruments

Used or contaminated instruments are stored in sealed containers, preventing any contact with sterile tools.

Sterilization Labeling System

Every sterilized instrument is labeled with:

1. Autoclave number
2. Name of the person who performed sterilization
3. Sterilization date
4. Expiration date

This information is also recorded in each patient’s file, allowing detailed tracking and accountability when necessary.

1. Minimal risk of infection
2. Safe and clean surgical environment
