INSTRUMENTS
• Surgical – primarily reusable.
but also “Single” Use Devices, SUDs
exposed to contaminated human tissues
• tissue processing
exposed to animal tissues

Disclaimer• The methods used were selected by the
research teams, as reasonably inexpensive approaches, within the constraints of the FDA lab facilities and manpower, to:
1. provide an understanding of the issues 2. examine the feasibility of decontamination
protocols recommended by WHO
• These presentations do not constitute regulatory endorsement as methods to validate decontamination protocols.

WHO protocols1. autoclave in 1 N NaOH, 121°C, 30 min2. immerse 1 hr in: 2a. 1 N NaOH, or 2b. sodium hypochlorite (20,000 ppm Cl) --- then autoclave in water 121°C, 1 hr3. soak in NaOH or Bleach, rinse then steam autoclave, 1 hr
*** all followed by routine (ultrasonic) cleaning, rinsing, and sterilization

CDC website notes & warnings
1. autoclaving in NaOH
can wreck autoclave and operators
2b. soaking in bleach
can wreck instruments
• these are based on CDRH studies

CDRH / OST TSE Decontamination Research
Issues based on WHO recommendations
1. safety of autoclaving in NaOH
2. effects of protocols 1 & 2 on instruments
3. develop pins as model “instruments”
4. Protein & Microbial decontamination

The problem• WHO method #1:
• place instruments in 1 N NaOH
and autoclave at 121°C.
• Some autoclave manufacturers have said:
“do that and you have no warranty”
• Note: must use gravity displacement autoclaves, with liquid (no vacuum) cycles.
![Page 9: CDRH - CBER TSE INSTRUMENT DECONTAMINATION PROJECT Stanley Brown, Katharine Merritt, Terry Woods, Scott McNamee and Deanna Busick CDRH/ OST / DMMS & DLS.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051216/56649cad5503460f9496fdab/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
MethodsA. 1 L of NaOH in a pan & cover
B. 10 ml NaOH in beaker in a pan & cover
1. Place in table top
gravity displacement autoclave
2. repeat 1 hr sterilization cycles
3. measure pH inside and out of pan & lid
4. measure pH of autoclave
6 liter water reservoir

Results – autoclaving in NaOH• No pH changes outside the containment • Condensate inside container was caustic• No pH change in water reservoir
• Conclusion: Autoclaving in NaOH can be done without damage to autoclave interior
• Caution: handle hot caustic with care• Note: can not be done in Central Services • Note: may require larger (approved) pans

2. The Effects on the instruments of the WHO protocols
for TSE decontamination
manuscript in preparation
Questions:
1. Will protocols cause corrosion?
2. Are certain instruments more at risk?
3. Does corrosion affect function?
![Page 17: CDRH - CBER TSE INSTRUMENT DECONTAMINATION PROJECT Stanley Brown, Katharine Merritt, Terry Woods, Scott McNamee and Deanna Busick CDRH/ OST / DMMS & DLS.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051216/56649cad5503460f9496fdab/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Methods
• Bought a bunch of instruments “surgical” from Roboz “Lab” from V W R some “Germany” some “Pakistan”• Repeated 1 hr cycles: autoclave in 1 N (3.9%) NaOH soak in 1 N (3.9%) NaOH soak in 6% NaOCl (28,500 ppm Cl) autoclave in water

Results – Instrument Corrosion
• Autoclaving in NaOH – darkening in some box joints titanium gets very dark
• soaking in NaOH – no changes
• soaking in NaOCl bleach – “good” instruments do OK exception: gold handles, carbide jaws “not so good” corrode, esp. welds & finger rings
BUT: if it’s going to corrode, it will do it first try; no need for long experiments

3. Pins for “instruments”
Needed a model “instrument”
1. like 25g needle & 1/2 cc syringe
used in CBER hamster model
2. suspend over 96 well plates
for serial dilutions of:
bacteria, viruses, brain homogenate
3. autoclavable

4. CDRH PIN STUDY THREE QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED
1. Will blood and tissue adhere to the pins?
2. Will the WHO cleaning protocols remove the blood and tissue?
3. Does damage to the instruments affect blood and tissue adherence and cleaning? (Stainless steel vs piano wire)
![Page 27: CDRH - CBER TSE INSTRUMENT DECONTAMINATION PROJECT Stanley Brown, Katharine Merritt, Terry Woods, Scott McNamee and Deanna Busick CDRH/ OST / DMMS & DLS.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051216/56649cad5503460f9496fdab/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
blood and tissue adherence
• Pins placed in a rack and immersed in slab of liver for 1 hr, left to dry for 24 hrs
• Pins in rack and into 96 well plate with sheep blood 1 hr, left to dry for 24 hours
1. US clean: 60°C, 30 min Klenzyme, then DW
2. autoclave: 1 hr in NaOH, then US clean
3. bleach 1 hr: then US clean
4. uncleaned controls
![Page 28: CDRH - CBER TSE INSTRUMENT DECONTAMINATION PROJECT Stanley Brown, Katharine Merritt, Terry Woods, Scott McNamee and Deanna Busick CDRH/ OST / DMMS & DLS.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051216/56649cad5503460f9496fdab/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Results – blood and tissue
• Uncleaned controls: More protein adhered to the pins from liver than from blood
• Damaged pins not more adherent
• Repeat exposure and US cleaning (5 times)
did not result in increase of protein adherence
• All cleaning protocols removed the protein as detected by Bradfords (less than 1 ul of blood)
![Page 29: CDRH - CBER TSE INSTRUMENT DECONTAMINATION PROJECT Stanley Brown, Katharine Merritt, Terry Woods, Scott McNamee and Deanna Busick CDRH/ OST / DMMS & DLS.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051216/56649cad5503460f9496fdab/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Bacterial Adherence
• Pins placed in a suspension of (S. epidermidis)
incubated for 24 hours
then left to dry
• Then U.S. cleaning or WHO
• Then they were inserted into agar in a test tube and incubated for 24 hours
![Page 30: CDRH - CBER TSE INSTRUMENT DECONTAMINATION PROJECT Stanley Brown, Katharine Merritt, Terry Woods, Scott McNamee and Deanna Busick CDRH/ OST / DMMS & DLS.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051216/56649cad5503460f9496fdab/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Results - Bacterial Adherence (1)
• autoclaving and bleach killed them all
• tried “modified” WHO protocols:
Dropped autoclave in 1N NaOH
All US cleaning done at room temperature
![Page 31: CDRH - CBER TSE INSTRUMENT DECONTAMINATION PROJECT Stanley Brown, Katharine Merritt, Terry Woods, Scott McNamee and Deanna Busick CDRH/ OST / DMMS & DLS.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051216/56649cad5503460f9496fdab/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Bacteria Results (2)with modified WHO Approach
• Only the pins treated with bleach
showed no growth
??? killed or cleaned??
• The other procedures had fewer bacteria
than the untreated control,
but bacteria were present
![Page 32: CDRH - CBER TSE INSTRUMENT DECONTAMINATION PROJECT Stanley Brown, Katharine Merritt, Terry Woods, Scott McNamee and Deanna Busick CDRH/ OST / DMMS & DLS.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051216/56649cad5503460f9496fdab/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
SEM of microbes on uncleaned pin

CDRH Studies’ Conclusions
• Some WHO protocols can damage
some surgical instruments
• The discoloration from NaOH does not seem to impair function or cleaning
• Question: if bacteria were removed in the cleaning protocols? The final sterilization procedure would kill them.
• Question: can prions be removed – CBER
