Recommendations for veterinarians

Equipment used for invasive procedures on animals should be retreated according to the same principles as equipment used on humans.

Process indicators (e.g. autoclave tape) must be used for all sterilization processes.

It is recommended to control the sterilization process at least once a day using chemical indicator/multivariable chemical indicator.

Periodic verification of the sterilization process should be performed every 3 months, as well as after repair.

After any repair, the sterilization process must be verified using biological indicators. The repaired autoclave/dry sterilizer should only be used when the sterilization process has been tested and approved.
If using a temporary autoclave/dry sterilizer, the sterilization process must be verified using biological indicators, with satisfactory results before using the equipment.

If using a temporary autoclave/dry sterilizer, the sterilization process must be verified using biological indicators, with satisfactory results before using the equipment.
