Sterilization & Pouching Process

Step 1

Items are inspected, counted, organized, and grouped.

Step 2

Groups are removed from plastic bags, washed in a 20 min cycle in a Ultrasonic machine which is heated.(this machine is exclusively used for jewelry and nothing else)

Step 3

The jewelry is then dried in a sterile room.

Step 4

Once completely dry, the jewelry is pouched and placed in sterile trays. We use a #4460 2 1/4 x 2 3/4 Self-Sealing Sterilization Pouch with internal and external Indicators. 

Step 5

The Ritter M9D Autoclave is loaded using distilled water and a Class 5 indicator strip. Pouched Cycle 30 min / Temp 275 / Pressure 200 and each batch is entered into our sterilization log Sheet.

Step 6

The autoclave then runs a complete dry cycle.

Step 7

Once sterilized the jewelry is grouped in batches of 10 and transferred directly into Ziploc bags and kept in our sterile room until an order is made.
