Sterilisation and single-use consumables

What has to be single use, what can be reprocessed, and what an inspector will ask to see.

Sterilisation and single-use consumables

Plasma does not break the skin in the way a needle does, which leads some practitioners to treat its infection control requirements as lighter than they are.

Single use means single use

Probe tips are single use per client. They are consumables, priced as consumables, and reusing them across clients is indefensible.

Reprocessing what can be reprocessed

Handpieces and non-disposable components follow the manufacturer instructions, and those instructions are part of your documentation rather than something to work from memory.

Logging

Autoclave cycle logs, with dates and results, retained. An inspector asking about sterilisation is asking to see records, not to hear a description of your process.

The treatment room

Wipeable surfaces, a clear dirty-to-clean workflow, sharps disposal where sharps are used, and a written protocol someone else could follow if you were away.
