Laryngoscope blades

[plstoutz]

Can anyone tell me how they process their laryngoscope blades between patients?
We are washing them, peel packing individually, and processing them in the Sterrad. We are putting them in peel packs to ensure they are stored properly, not for sterile presentation and we are getting some push pack from the anesthesia team.
Thank you

Best to check with the manufacturer, they will send you specific instructions. Some say high level disinfection is sufficient citing the spaulding classification of use...

Thanks. The MFG instructions state preferred method is sterilization, so we are sticking to that.
