Event Description

Private dental office. Use tuttnauer steam sterilizer (table top) model 2340m. Monthly maintenance to clean with product "chamber brite" also tuttnauer). Completion of cleaning cycle with chamber brite, pungent burnt plastic smell was emitted into the office. An employee hygienist who was near to the unit went into respiratory distress. The 911 was called, employee taken to hospital by paramedics and received out patient care. Researching online showed possible causes are single dose cleaning packets have too much chemical for smaller autoclaves. Also, if cleaner is added to an autoclave that is already warm, , then the heat could react with chemical. Problem is lack of information on the cleaning packets (there is none). If references to follow cleaning instructions in the manual. This lack of product labeling (chamber brite) makes errors in cleaning possible.
