reason behind wet pack after steam sterilization and its consequences an overview from central sterile supply department of a cancer center in eastern india
Journal of Infection and Public Health, 2017Co-Authors: Debabrata BasuAbstract:Summary Wet pack after steam sterilization process that means there are surely obtain millions of microorganisms that can breed and multiply rapidly and objects are unsterile and can never be used for further procedure. There are many reasons behind the wet pack occurrences after autoclaving like poor quality of wrapping materials, faulty valves of Rigid Container, faulty loading and packaging technique, poor steam quality, sterilizer malfunction and may be design related problems in CSSD sterile storage area. Cause of wet pack after steam sterilization processes may occur severe problems because of wasted time and effort, increased work load, increased cost, potentially contaminated instruments, infection risk to the patient, poor patient outcomes and delayed or cancellation of procedures. But such wet pack scenario can be avoided by various methods by using good steam (water) quality, performing periodic maintenance of the Autoclaves, avoidance of sterilizer overloading, allowing adequate post sterilization time to cool down the materials to room temperature, using good quality wrapping materials, properly maintain temperature and humidity of sterile storage area etc.

a seepage meter designed for use in flowing water
Journal of Hydrology, 2008Co-Authors: Donald O RosenberryAbstract:Summary Seepage meters provide one of the most direct means to measure exchange of water across the sediment–water interface, but they generally have been unsuitable for use in fluvial settings. Although the seepage bag can be placed inside a Rigid Container to minimize velocity head concerns, the seepage cylinder installed in the sediment bed projects into and disrupts the flow field, altering both the local-scale fluid exchange as well as measurement of that exchange. A low-profile seepage meter designed for use in moving water was tested in a seepage meter flux tank where both current velocity and seepage velocity could be controlled. The conical seepage cylinder protrudes only slightly above the sediment bed and is connected via tubing to a seepage bag or flowmeter positioned inside a Rigid shelter that is located nearby where current velocity is much slower. Laboratory and field tests indicate that the net effect of the small protrusion of the seepage cylinder into the surface water flow field is inconsequentially small for surface water currents up to 65 cm s −1 . Current velocity affects the variability of seepage measurements; seepage standard deviation increased from ∼2 to ∼6 cm d −1 as current velocity increased from 9 to 65 cm s −1 . Substantial bias can result if the shelter is not placed to minimize hydraulic gradient between the bag and the seepage cylinder.

effect of tio2 photocatalytic activity in a hdpe based food packaging on the structural and microbiological stability of a short ripened cheese
Food Chemistry, 2013Co-Authors: Matteo Gumiero, Donatella Peressini, Andrea Pizzariello, Alessandro Sensidoni, Lucilla Iacumin, G Comi, Rosanna TonioloAbstract:Abstract A high density polyethylene (HDPE)/calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ) film containing TiO 2 was prepared via blown film extrusion process. The photocatalytic properties of this film were evaluated by voltammetric, UV–Vis spectrophotometric and gas chromatographic measurements following the decomposition rate of suitably selected molecular probes, such as 4-hydroxybenzoic acid and methylene blue. The film containing 1% w/w of TiO 2 displayed a profitable and reproducible photoinduced degradation activity towards target organic compounds. The effect of packaging photocatalytic activity on the structural and microbiological stability of a short-ripened cheese was studied. Cheese structure was assessed by dynamic, small deformation rheological tests. A Container consisting of a multilayer material, where the layer brought in contact with the food, made from the HDPE + CaCO 3 + TiO 2 composite matrix, was able to provide a greater maintenance of the original cheese structure than a Rigid Container currently used, mainly due to the inhibition of lactic acid bacteria and coliforms.

modal analysis of free vibration of liquid in Rigid Container by the method of fundamental solutions
Engineering Analysis With Boundary Elements, 2009Co-Authors: Somchart ChantasiriwanAbstract:Modal analysis of free vibration of liquid in a Rigid Container having arbitrary shape requires a numerical method. The method of fundamental solutions has an advantage over the finite element method and the boundary element method in that it does not require either volume mesh generation or surface mesh generation. This paper presents the formulation of the method of fundamental solutions for determining natural frequencies and mode shapes of free vibration of liquid in Rigid Container. Modal analyses are performed for cylindrical Container, cylindrical quadrant Container, cylindrical equilateral triangle Container, hemispherical Container, and cylindrical Container with baffle. It is shown that natural frequencies of certain modes obtained by the method of fundamental solutions agree with analytical results and other numerical results.
