Abstract

The present study sought to describe the physico-chemical and microbiological characteristics of the water before and after being subjected to UN sterilization process steam autoclave load packages instrumental and surgical clothes, in order to establish its potential usefulness f back without causing any effect on the validity of the charging cycle. Were the measurements described Separately, Before the sterilization process, during the discharge stage and the entry of water that was used for this process. Development Process Three samplings were carried out with osmosis water and 5 for tap water Directly From; after each sample took into account the parameters of sterilization, Environmental Resolutions and microbiological obtained significant results in the different points of Sampling leading one Conclude Disturbances osmosis water at different points Sample (input, jacket Download and) the autoclave in relation to the physico-chemical characteristics of water obtained from the Points analyzed the autoclave, likewise presence of total and fecal coliforms was observed aerobic mesophilic bacteria which indicated that water is not suitable for recirculation within the autoclave.
