Sterilization tape usage errors and avoidance methods

Misconception 1: Using regular tape instead of sterilization tape ❌ Risk: Regular tape does not have a sterilization indicator function and cannot determine whether the item has been sterilized satisfactorily. ✅ Correct practice: Medical-grade sterilization indicator tape must be used, and the sterilization method indicated on the packaging (such as 'suitable for autoclave sterilization') must be checked. Misconception 2: Color change indicates thorough sterilization ❌ Risk: A color change in the tape only proves that the item has undergone the sterilization temperature/condition, but it does not represent the sterilization effect (for example, insufficient sterilization time or too dense loading may lead to incomplete sterilization). ✅ Correct practice: Make a comprehensive judgment by combining biological indicators (such as spores of Geobacillus stearothermophilus) with physical monitoring (temperature and pressure records). Misconception 3: Reusing sterilization tape ❌ Risk: Repeated sterilization can cause the indicator to fail, resulting in inaccurate color changes. ✅ Correct practice: Use new tape for each batch of sterilized items and use it only once.
