Strategies to reduce the carbon footprint associated with steam sterilization

Strategies to reduce the carbon footprint associated with steam sterilization
  • Avoiding unnecessary sterilization of intermediate- or lower-risk medical devices
  • Loading the decontamination machine optimally (slots are frequently unfilled)
  • Power off inactive sterilizer units (as opposed to leaving on stand-by mode) during off hours, through automated timer systems
  • Using low carbon renewable energy supply
