Answer 38

Containment of a sterile field or package that occurs from the passage of fluid through a microbial barrier

Answer 39

Mechanically cleaned and chemically disinfected but not sterile In surgical scrub procedure, the removal of transient microbes and reduction of indigenous skin microflora to an irreducible level

Answer 40

To render items safe to handle by high-level disinfection

Answer 41

To render items safe to handle by proper sterilization methods However, unwrapped so not appropriate for use within the sterile field

Answer 42
