Abstract

The commission will determine the damage caused to surgical instruments over a number of normal wash/disinfectant cycles and over a number of wash/disinfectant cycles using potentially more corrosive materials. The study will also determine whether there is an increase in protein deposits and to what level as instruments become older.
