During the steris sales representatives follow-up with user facility personnel, it is unable to be confirmed if the employee subject of the reported event was wearing proper ppe while handling the scbi.The instructions for use states, "caution: challenge packs and test configurations processed through vaporized hydrogen peroxide sterilization may contain residual hydrogen peroxide.Always wear gloves when handling the bi." "residual hydrogen peroxide may be trapped within the cap if the bi is damaged.Avoid direct contact with the bi and its contents, as it may result in a hydrogen peroxide chemical burn.Place the entire test pouch and its contents into a steam compatible container and follow the instructions for disposal provided below." steris offered in-service training on the proper use and operation of the scbi however, the user facility declined.
