Bags • Autoclave bags are impermeable to steam, and for this reason should not be twisted or taped shut as this could prevent the load from being sterilised correctly • Do not overload the autoclave. Leave plenty of room for thorough steam circulation • Autoclave bags containing biological waste should be autoclaved for a minimum of 30 minutes at 121°C to ensure sterilization. Use high temperature bags and autoclave at 135°C for a minimum of 30 minutes for the decontamination and inactivation of particularly resistant biological waste † • Water should be added to bags of solid waste to allow...
