Question

Metal instruments are cleaned in 70%bleach for 10 minutesfor medical purpose true or false?

Answer 1

Clean yes, sterilize no. In many countries, this is a routine procedure before sterilization.

You could sanitize surfaces or instruments for cutting hair, but not sterilize for medical purposes.

70% bleach would be pretty strong too, you would be crying before too long if it was left out. Household bleach (Clorox) is about 5%.

You could also use this to disinfect water.

Answer 2

false .... they are steam autoclaved .... or other gas methods ... that do not include bleach!
