What are the AS 5369 requirements for final rinse…
Infection control in the ADC exam tests decision-making around exposure incidents, instrument classification, and decontamination protocols. This exam-level vignette tests your ability to work through clinical details and arrive at the correct management.
A new reprocessing room is being designed for Dr Park's expanding practice. The architect asks about ventilation requirements, sink layout, and water quality specifications. Meanwhile, the dental assistants are trained on correct pre-cleaning and cleaning protocols. What are the AS 5369 requirements for final rinse water quality in RMD reprocessing?
- A. Tap water is acceptable for all rinse stages
- B. Distilled water only
- C. pH 5.5-8.0, conductivity ≤30 µS/cm, hardness ≤10 mg/L, bacteria ≤100/100mL, endotoxins ≤0.25 EU/mL
- D. Any water with bacterial count below 200 CFU/mL
