- Thorough cleaning and drying of instruments precedes the unwrapped sterilization cycle
- Mechanical monitors are checked and chemical indicators used for each cycle
- Care is taken to avoid thermal injury to dental health care personnel or patients
- Items are transported aseptically to the point of use to maintain sterility
