Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A complete tray set that has been contaminated with gross blood should not undergo flash sterilization. This method of sterilization is used for items that are clean and unwrapped. Because it is a quick method, it may also be used in emergency situations. A complete tray set should be decontaminated before being processed with flash sterilization.
